Differences between two Panasonic OLEDs

    Hi

    I'm between two Panasonic 65" OLED TVs. One is 65Z80AEY, the other, more expensive one is TV-65Z90BEB.

    The cheaper one seems to have a few more functions, on first reading but I'm not clear whether or not it has a satellite tuner.

    I like the fact that it has a bluetooth remote, rather than IR, although either will be integrated into a Control4 system.

    Is the 90 a newer TV or is there any major reason I should pick it over the 80?

    What's the best price you could do in Euro? I could also deal directly with Belfast if that was handier.

    TIA

    The price on the 65Z90 is much better in Sterling priced at £1599 compared to €2099.

    There is no issue in paying in sterling and your bank do do the exchange.

    Thanks


    if I pulled the trigger on Monday/first thing Tuesday would I have it in Clare by Friday?

    I’d be going for the soundbar offer too - that’s the one I’d like to have by the weekend - no great urgency on the TV.

    Does that price include delivery? Any boards/VIP discounts?


    Thanks

    Hi galvo_clare, thanks for getting back to us.

    Unfortunately we've missed the cut off for guaranteed pre Christmas deliveries on TVs. You can order on Monday and we will do our best to have it shipped asap but we can't guarantee delivery before Christmas I'm afraid.

    Please don't hesitate to drop us a post if you have any further queries.

    Kind regards

    David
