Because Covid................

Get used to it, it’s going to be the excuse for everything for the next two years.

ADBNZ: Found this today: https://www.smithscity.co.nz/panasonic-65-hz1000u-premium-4k-smart-oled-tv-9063809.

I'm going to assume this is a placeholder price, but I'm sure they will be quite a bit more expensive than the 2019s, just like the 2020 Samsungs and Sonys.

Good spot. It seems reasonable (for a launch price), that's still more than the 65" LG CX is going for, and its still the lowest in the HZ range we get. Panasonic are probably the best for picture quality, but, given the HDMI 2.1 capability of the CX, you would really have to dislike the LG to pay $600 more for the Panasonic.

Can confirm there are no plans currently for Panasonic to exit the NZ Market
