Value Electronics is now Panasonic's OLED USA dealer (1 Viewer)

[Robert_Zohn]

Just today we finalized our deal to become Panasonic's only USA dealer for their Large-format Client Review OLED monitors.

It takes many months of working with color scientists to fine tune the HCX processor to Hollywood's picture performance standards and to hand select the OLED modules. These are the OLED displays we'll be selling to the most discerning enthusiast's consumers.

We'll be stocking 55" and 65" Panasonic Professional OLED displays.

Why did Panasonic stopped selling tv’s in North America? My first ever HD tv was a Panasonic back in 2007 and i was very happy with it.

CONGRATS, Robert, this is such exciting news!
Do you have any idea approximately what the price of the 65" GZ2000 will be come April?

 

[Robert_Zohn]

Just asked my Panasonic contacts, and based on my earlier recommendation they just decided to pass on the GZ2000 and move forward with the soon to be announced next generation OLED that will be announced at CES 2021.

Any idea Robert what sizes will be sold?

 

[Robert_Zohn]

For the Hollywood USA market, which I'll also have available for consumers it will be 55" and 65". I'm asking for larger sizes, but do not have a commitment at this time. Also know these next generation 2021 models will be delayed beyond the launch dates that we'll see in other regions as they need to be reviewed by Hollywood color scientists and then retuned by Panasonic engineers and approved by the Hollywood studios.

Robert, CES 2021 is killing me with this new Sony A90J announcement. I had my heart set on the HZ2000U, and then suddenly, Sony introduces its 83" bright OLED competitor to the HZ2000. Good times!

I saw the news on the Sony A90J too but will keep my eye on the Panasonic. Looks like a good year for tv's.
