Sound of the under-mound
PANASONIC Z90A
When you shrink a speaker its oomph factor is often affected, which means small TVs tend to sound worse than big ones – but not if you’re watching one of these new Panasonic OLEDs. Whether you pick the biggest 65in version or the smallest 42in one, it comes with a built-in soundbar, so those with less space shouldn’t suffer sonically. Panasonic has also put all of its eggs in the Amazon basket, loading the Z90A with its Fire TV interface and giving it Alexa voice control, so when you’re not watching movies or making the most of its 144Hz refresh rate to play games, you can treat your telly like a smart display. There’s even an ambient mode for widgets and reminders. £tba / panasonic.com
