Why this matters

Picture quality: Class-leading WOLED panels vs Hollywood-grade colour accuracy.

Weaknesses to know: LG — OLEDs still trail Samsung/Sony peak brightness; Motion handling can feel aggressive out of the box. Panasonic — Very limited North American availability; Premium pricing.

Bottom line: pick LG if OLED matters most or if Feature-complete gaming (4× HDMI 2.1) matters. Pick Panasonic if OLED matters most or if Excellent Dolby Vision IQ matters.
