A massive discount on a TV we raved about? You can’t ask for much more from Memorial Day TV deals. The TV is the Panasonic W95A, a Mini-LED TV we gave 4 out of 5 stars to in our December 2024 review. Right now, the 65-inch model is available for just $600, a massive $1,200 discount, or 67% off. That’s a noteworthy discount no matter the TV — but the Panasonic W95A isn’t just any TV. Let’s dive into its specs.
Panasonic was out of the TV game for a while, but its return was celebrated by many TV afficionados, and it earned its way back onto our list of the best TV brands. While the W95A isn’t on our list of the best TVs (Panasonic’s only entry is the Z95A), we praised many aspects of it in our review. The main point of praise is the brightness. Thousands of LED backlights help this TV shine, and we got around 1,300 nits of peak brightness in HDR mode during our tests. Colors are also accurate and gorgeous thanks to the QLED panel. All-in-all, our only negative points for the TV were some mediocre anti-glare from certain angles and the fact that it uses Fire TV for its smart features, which isn’t our favorite.
Let’s get into the specs: The Panasonic W95A has a refresh rate of 144Hz, supports HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. The TV even has something most modern TVs have given up on: quality speakers. TVs are so thin these days that it’s practically impossible to cram nice speakers into them. We usually recommend pairing a new TV with soundbar deals. The Panasonic W95A switches this up, with two down-firing speakers and a built-in subwoofer. We called the whole package “a little above average in fidelity.”
The 65-inch Panasonic W95A is worth consideration even at its full price of $1,800. This deal, which cuts the price by 67% to just $600, is frankly unbelievable. Make sure to snap this up ASAP, as the sale is likely tied to Memorial Day weekend.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
