Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion HiFi & HT Chat Panasonic vs Loewe OLED

I owned a Panasonic Plasma prior to purchasing my existing Loewe Bild7.55 nearly 7 years ago.

I recently compared the Loewe Stellar against the latest Panasonic Z95B at a Loewe/Panasonic dealership (that is also a Meridian/Trinnov dealership).

The Loewe Stellar (at twice the price) wiped the floor with the Panasonic Z95B. The motion panning stutter on the Z95B was unwatchable/unacceptable compared to the silky smooth motion panning on the Stellar. Once you see the stuttering, you can't unsee it.

While Loewe sources their panels from LG, Loewe designs/installs their own internal electronics. The latest version of the Stellar has ditched the previous TizenOS from Samsung (without Dolby Vision) for the VidaaOS from Hisense (with Dolby Vision).

I completely understand if folk simply don’t have the budget for the Loewe Stellar - and that they believe that the Z95B is an acceptable compromise for the price. However, if you’re planning on keeping it for the long term, I highly recommend paying the extra funds on the Loewe Stellar.
