Panasonic recently unveiled its 2026 line of LCD Mini LED and QLED TVs at the IFA 2026 trade fair, revealing detailed technical specifications and pricing for various screen sizes. While Panasonic continues to offer OLED TVs in France, such as the Z95B and Z90B series, the new Z85C series is not available in the country. This product launch comes after Panasonic considered selling or downsizing its television division in early 2025 due to stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers. Despite retaining the 2026 TV range, a significant part of the design and assembly of the LCD TVs is now managed by Skyworth, a Chinese company, which raises questions about the extent to which these TVs are "signed by Panasonic." The 2026 LCD TV range in France is divided into four distinct series. The W90C, W92C, and W95C models use QD-Mini LED technology, while the W80C series relies on traditional QLED technology. This range covers a wide price spectrum, starting at 599 euros for the smallest QLED model and going up to 1999 euros for the largest Mini LED model. The W95C series is the flagship of the LCD line, featuring a 4K panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate and Dynamic Local Dimming Ultra technology. It includes more than 1000 local dimming zones on 65-inch and larger versions, with a peak brightness of about 1500 cd/m² and a color coverage of 105% of the DCI-P3 color space. The Glare Free Ultra processing is included in all Mini LED versions of the range. The AI 4K Colour Engine Ultra processor is used for image processing, supporting features like Filmmaker Mode, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG. The W95C series also includes the Theater Surround 360° audio system, with a total power of 80 watts spread across front, side speakers, and a dedicated subwoofer, all certified for Dolby Atmos. For gaming, the Game Mode Extreme is accompanied by a dedicated control card, three HDMI 2.1 inputs compatible with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 144 Hz, and AMD FreeSync Premium certification. The interface is based on Google TV, featuring a long-range microphone for hands-free voice commands. The W92C series shares much of the W95C’s architecture, including a 144 Hz panel, Glare Free Ultra, and gaming features, but the number of local dimming zones is unspecified. It uses the AI 4K Colour Engine Pro processor, an intermediate version, and has a sound power of 50 watts on a 2.1 configuration with a subwoofer. The W92C is available in 55, 65, and 75-inch sizes with Google TV as the software platform. The W90C is the entry-level Mini LED model, featuring a 60 Hz panel that can be increased to 120 Hz using an overclocking mode with HSR technology. It uses the Local Dimming Supreme instead of the Ultra version and the AI 4K Colour Engine without the Pro or Ultra suffixes. The sound remains stereo at 30 watts, but it still includes Glare Free Ultra, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Google TV. The W80C series, unlike the others, uses a Vivid QLED+ panel and is available in sizes ranging from 43 to 75 inches. It uses Fire TV as the software platform instead of Google TV, with support for Alexa voice commands and Apple AirPlay compatibility. The AI 4K Colour Engine processor is used, similar to the entry-level models of the Mini LED range. The anti-reflective processing varies by size, with the 55, 65, and 75-inch models receiving Glare Free Max, while the 43 and 50-inch models have Glare Free Pro. The sound power ranges from 20 watts on the smallest models to 30 watts on the largest. Gaming features include VRR HDMI 2.1 up to 60 Hz with HSR on 55-inch and larger models, while the 43 and 50-inch models are limited to classic VRR without HSR. According to Panasonic, the Mini LED models—W90C, W92C, and W95C—will be available in Europe in the coming weeks. The W95C series prices are listed at 1999 euros for the 86-inch version, 1699 euros for the 75-inch, 1399 euros for the 65-inch, and 1099 euros for the 55-inch. The W92C series is priced at 1599 euros for the 75-inch, 1299 euros for the 65-inch, and 999 euros for the 55-inch. The W80C series, on the QLED side, offers more affordable options: 999 euros for the 75-inch, 799 euros for the 65-inch, 699 euros for the 55-inch, 649 euros for the 50-inch, and 599 euros for the 43-inch. These prices are indicative, as retailers may adjust them according to their own policies.
