Panasonic’s Z95B has the secret OLED TV tech we were hunting for

 

Panasonic is well and truly back in the U.S., on Tuesday announcing new TVs, including the flagship Z95B — an MLA-free OLED

 

Panasonic returned to the U.S. TV market in 2024 after a decade-long absence. Keen to make its presence felt, the Japanese firm announced three new TVs at CES 2025 this week. Particularly notable is Panasonic's latest flagship OLED, the Z95B, which features spatial audio sound and a new "next-generation" four-layer panel structure that improves color volume and brightness without the need for MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology.

Panasonic detailed the Z95B's special technology, which enhances the TV’s light efficiency by 40%, enabling “a significant increase in brightness and a broader color volume, delivering even richer, more realistic imagery,” according to the company. Read on to learn more about the Z95B and Panasonic's other new models ...

The Handheld Dock Chroma is the ultimate Steam Deck accessory

 

Razer's Handheld Dock Chroma is a Nintendo Switch-like TV dock for your Steam Deck and other portable PCs

 

Unveiled at CES 2025, Razer’s new Handheld Dock Chroma is for various gaming handhelds, Android phones and tablets, and iPhone and iPads with a USB-C port. The device's 6-port design supports USB A, USB C, HDMI, Ethernet, and "keeps your device charged [and] shows it off."

The $80 Handheld Dock Chroma is a bit like the Nintendo Switch's TV dock, but works with devices like the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, the Switch, and Razer's own Edge. Simply place your handheld onto the adjustable stand and plug it into the dock via the charging port. From there, you can connect it to a TV or monitor and output games at up to 4K at 60 frames per second ...
