It's a rebadged Z93A that was sold in Europe last year. It was supposed to come to the US last year, but never did.
It uses a regular EX panel like the LG C series, but includes a heat sink and the high end audio found on the Z95A.
It being labeled MLA on the website is incorrect. Panasonic said they'll be correcting the website ASAP.
Community Reviews
This 77 inch Panasonic Z8 is being framed as a strong value OLED with premium audio and picture processing at a lower price than comparable LG C5 deals. The built in Technics tuned speaker system, Dolby Vision and HDR10 plus support, natural color tuning, and strong upscaling for sub 4K content stand out, along with the 144 hertz panel and bright, high end feel. The main knocks are Fire TV, which is widely seen as clunky, ad heavy, and best bypassed with an external streamer, and the TV is also described as thick and weighty. A solid option if you want a feature rich OLED and can ignore the built in smart platform.
The TV supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for flexible HDR playback options.
The built-in soundbar setup can reduce the need for an external soundbar purchase upfront.
Using a dedicated external streamer can keep the TV from getting laggy when the built-in Fire TV interface underperforms.
Panasonic upscaling and artifact cleanup for low-bitrate content can be slightly better than the LG B4 comparison.
The TV can appear dimmer than the LG C5 in some comparisons, which may matter in brighter rooms.
The Fire TV interface can feel slow and cluttered, with frequent ads or previews reported.
The TV can be physically thick due to its speaker setup, which can be a drawback for side-profile aesthetics.
Panasonic's future support risk can affect warranty, software updates, and long-term reliability if the company exits the TV business again.
