Panasonic's Z95B (OLED) and W95B (miniLED LCD) are the first Fire TVs that are Calman Ready, allowing home and professional users to more easily calibrate them.
Panasonic's TVs have been Calman Ready for years, but last year's switch from its own operating system, MyHomeScreen, to Amazon's Fire TV presented a challenge with Calman integration, as Fire TV did not support it at the time.
In 2025, Calman Ready will return to Panasonic TVs as the system is now supported on Amazon Fire TV devices, with some help from Panasonic, Portrait Displays announced at CES 2025.
- "Our longstanding partnership with Panasonic has always centered on delivering exceptional picture quality through cutting-edge technology," said Eric Brumm, President & CEO of Portrait Displays. "By integrating Calman calibration with FireOS-enabled TVs, we're delivering a solution for accessible, professional-grade color accuracy that enhances how consumers watch, play, and connect with content."

Panasonic is also exploring the option to update the 2024 models to be Calman Ready.
Support for 3D LUTs
To get started, you need a supported meter (to measure the display) and the Calman app. The rest of the software and the test patterns required are handled automatically thanks to the Calman Ready support.
In addition, Portrait Displays said that 3D LUTs can be loaded directly into the Panasonic TVs.
- "Combining Panasonic’s expertise in display technology with Portrait Displays’ advanced Calman calibration tools, consumers now also have the ability to load 3D LUTs directly into the TV via Calman."
