I'm not joking when I say that this 65-inch OLED TV is just $799 right now
I've been covering TVs for over ten years, so I've seen my fair share of killer TV deals. But the one that crossed my desk this morning might be the best OLED TV deal I've ever seen. The 65-inch Panasonic Z85A OLED TV is just $799 at BuyDig when the promo code 'HEAT" is applied at checkout. That's an absurdly good deal on an 65-inch OLED TV — but it's probably not going to stick around for long. Here's what you need to know. The Panasonic Z85A offers the built-in benefits of OLED display technology in a stylish package. It's packed with features for gaming, streaming and more, and folks with Alexa-centric smart home devices are set to make the most out of the Z85A's built-in Fire TV features. Note: In order to unlock the $799 sale price, you just need to plug in the promo code "HEAT" at checkout. Price check: $997 at Amazon First, let's talk about BuyDig. When you head over to the listing, you'll notice that the Z85A's sale price is $997. Setting aside the fact that this is already a sweet sale price, you'll have to add the Z85A to your cart and apply the 'HEAT' promo code at the checkout screen in order to unlock the $799 price tag. BuyDig is a reputable online shop based out of New Jersey. I recommend taking advantage of BuyDig's discount, because as far as I can tell, you won't get the Z85A cheaper anywhere else. Now, onto the TV itself. The Z85A delivers the incredible contrast we've come to expect from this impressive display technology. The Z85A is the most affordable OLED TV in Panasonic's portfolio following the brand's celebrated return to the US market in 2024. It sits below the Panasonic Z95A in the lineup but shares many of the same features and performance attributes. As an OLED TV, the Z85A delivers the incredible contrast we've come to expect from this impressive display technology. With millions of self-lit pixels in place of a traditional backlight, the Z85A is capable of perfect black levels and eliminates light bloom altogether. The Z85A isn't as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but thanks to the naturally high-contrast nature of OLED displays, this relatively modest level of brightness is more impactful than it is on a traditional LED TV. You're getting a decent spread of gaming features, too: a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, support for 4K gaming at 120Hz, FreeSync Premium support and G-Sync compatibility. Dolby Vision is along for the ride, too. Before you take advantage of this deal, take note: The Z85A is a Fire TV, meaning it leverages Amazon's Fire TV operating system when it comes to its built-in streaming features. Fire TV supports a wide range of streaming apps and services, but it's not our favorite software suite due to its cluttered user interface and somewhat sluggish performance. It does offer nifty smart home integration for Alexa-wired households, though, which you may or may not find useful. Here's the deal: If you don't want to deal with Fire TV, just plug one of the best streaming devices into the Z85A and call it a day. This is a $799, 65-inch OLED TV from a terrific brand — it doesn't get much better than this.

I just stumbled on one of the lowest OLED TVs available for Prime Day — under $1,000
Prime Day TV deals are fast approaching their end date, so if there ever was a time to get in and get your savings, it's now. You don't have long before all the best deals are taken, and I stumbled on this fantastic discount on a 2024 OLED TV. Right now, you can get the 55-inch Panasonic Z85A OLED TV for $799 on Amazon. That's a major price cut, bringing down this fantastic OLED to well under $1,000, making it even cheaper than the LG B4 OLED TV. And, if you want something a bit more expensive, I've also included the flagship Panasonic OLED from last year as well. The 65-inch Panasonic Z95A OLED TV is $1,997 on Amazon, and these are the best deals on Panasonic OLEDs you can get right now. Panasonic TVs are making a comeback in the U.S. Built around Panasonic's HCX Pro AI Processor MKII, its new OLED TV offers support for HDR10/HDR10+/Dolby Vision/HLG and HLG, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. On the gaming front, you get a 120Hz panel with VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-Sync support. It comes in 55- and 65-inch size options. The Z95A is Panasonic's premium OLED TV. In our Panasonic Z95 OLED TV review, we called the Editor's Choice TV an absolute beast, boasting some of the most advanced features of any TV currently available. It's built on LG Display's second-gen MLA panel, which ensures it has a vast and vibrant brightness potential. It also comes equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate and a range of gaming features, including HDMI 2.1, VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-Sync support. It also supports all HDR formats and comes with hands-free Alexa compatibility. I've been tracking all the best Prime Day TV deals and stumbled upon this amazing deal on one of the cheapest OLEDs I've seen. Of course, it's not a 2025 model, but the Panasonic Z85A still looks utterly fantastic and has a lot going for it in terms of features. Just like its closest competitor in the LG B4 OLED, it's equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate, plus it has a full array of HDMI 2.1 ports. But, even if you don't have a PC on hand, it still has cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass and GeForce Now through Fire TV. You can also expect the range of HDR formats, including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, to give all your entertainment the extra crispness. It's also one of the few OLED TVs you can buy right now that has an ATSC 3.0 tuner, netting you access to NextGen TV and 4K broadcasts. I've seen both the Z85A OLED TV in person and can attest to its brilliance as one of the best TVs on the market. Still, I will admit I have several pain points with Fire TV myself, but if you're looking for an OLED with exceptional picture performance coupled with a great sound system, this is the one to get. Of course, you could always go bigger with the Panasonic Z95A OLED TV, which I've given more than enough praise over the last year. But even that is a little expensive, even in the heat of the Prime Day sales event. If you're looking for even more deals on all of the best tech we can find, check out our Prime Day blog to get yourself those last-minute savings.
