Surprise! Get this 65-inch Panasonic OLED TV for under $1,000 in rare Amazon deal
Father's Day might be over, but the TV deals are still hot. With sports seasons still in full swing, Dad will want the best seat in the house for all of his favorite content — and I think I've found the perfect pick.
Right now, you can get the Panasonic Z85A OLED TV for $997 at Amazon. That's a 45% slashing on this 2024 display and one of the lowest price we've seen in a while.
Panasonic TVs are making a comeback in the US Built around Panasonic's HCX Pro AI Processor MKII, its new OLED TV offers support for HDR10/HDR10+/Dolby Vision/HLG and 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.
Beyond netting you incredible picture performance for the NBA Finals, the Panasonic Z85A OLED TV is also packed with tons of value. It's built on Fire TV, giving you access to a slew of streaming services and even one of the best cloud gaming services in Xbox Game Pass.
It's also built on a 120Hz refresh rate with a range of HDR compatibility. This includes HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, plus you even have Dolby Atmos to steep you even deeper into immersive movie nights.
What makes the Z85A truly stand out is its audio performance. Few TVs really deliver sound with such punchy weightiness, but the Z85A not only has a 50W speaker but also a 20W woofer and even two 15W drivers, all of which are built on a 2.1-channel system. No need for one of the best soundbars.
And, while it might already have its fair share of cloud gaming, it's also got a ton of gaming features built into the panel. This makes it ideal for everything from the PS5 Pro to the new Nintendo Switch 2.
Panasonic wouldn't return to the US market for nothing. It brought just two OLEDs and this is marked as an utter steal if you're still looking to get in on a new TV.

Amazon's Kuiper satellite launch called off 30 minutes before liftoff
Amazon is keen to get its second batch of internet satellites into orbit, but it won't be happening just yet. The launch of 27 Project Kuiper satellites was set to take place early Monday afternoon ET at Cape Canaveral in Florida, but just 30 minutes from liftoff, rocket operator United Launch Alliance (ULA) said it was standing down for the day 'due to an engineering observation of an elevated purge temperature within the booster engine' on its Atlas V vehicle. In simple terms, this means part of the booster became too hot and needs to be investigated. Recommended Videos ULA said it will release a new launch date just as soon as one is decided. The rocket had been due to launch last Friday, but poor weather conditions prompted mission planners to shift the date to Monday. Similar to SpaceX's established Starlink service, Amazon's Project Kuiper aims to provide fast, affordable broadband internet to customers globally. It's particularly keen to serve locations where fiber, cable, or cellular infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable, such as rural and mountainous areas, while the service could also play an important role in disaster zones — something that Starlink has done a number of times in recent years to support emergency and relief efforts. The company plans to deploy a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit, which will be completed by 2029 at the latest. Before then, Amazon is aiming to launch a high-speed broadband service by the end of this year with around 1,000 satellites, though building the constellation over time will improve network performance and reliability for what the company expects to be a growing customer base. To deploy its internet satellites, Amazon has secured more than 90 rocket launches with a slew of spaceflight firms that include not only ULA but also ArianeGroup, Blue Origin, and even SpaceX, spending more than $10 billion in launch contracts. Customers signing up to the Project Kuiper service will be able to choose from three types of user terminals: a compact 7-inch square model for portability (up to 100 Mbps), a standard 11-inch model for households (up to 400 Mbps), and a larger model for enterprises (up to 1 Gbps). Amazon expects to sell its standard customer terminal for around $400 per unit, which would make it about $50 more expensive than Starlink's terminal for residential customers.

ULA launch delayed for Amazon's 2nd batch of 27 'Project Kuiper' satellites
June 16 (UPI) -- The United Launch Alliance liftoff planned for Monday with dozens of new satellites to join Amazon's "Project Kuiper" mission was delayed due to engineering issues. The project is part of Amazon's effort to expand global Internet access. Amazon's second attempted Kuiper 2 launch of 27 additional satellites into low-Earth orbit on top ULA's 205-foot tall Atlas V rocket was delayed shortly before 1 p.m. EDT due to an "engineering observation of an elevated purge temperature within the booster engine," according to ULA officials. It originally was scheduled to launch during a 30-minute time window starting at 1:25 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Space Launch Complex 41. The mission is an effort to boost Amazon's growing satellite constellation to a total of 54 launched out of the mandated 1,600 in about a year's time as part of a federal agreement. "The team will evaluate the hardware, and we will release a new launch date when available," the Colorado-headquartered ULA added. A live-stream broadcast started roughly 20 minutes or so on multiple online platforms prior to the temporarily delayed liftoff with initial weather forecasts predicting a 75% chance for favorable conditions. The ULA rocket designated AV-105 would have been the 103rd launch of its Atlas 5 rocket. ULA President and CEO Tory Bruno wrote during Monday's countdown in a Bluesky post that United Launch Alliance team members at the the time were "working a temperature measurement (that was) warmer than previous" Atlas 5 rocket launches. It was set to be ULA's second sendoff on Atlas 5 for Amazon's Project Kuiper after ULA successfully sent a first batch of 27 satellites in early April. That first mission's own initial liftoff was likewise scrubbed, but due to weather. Amazon officials say it Projectt Kuiper will aim to deliver "fast, reliable Internet to customers and communities around the world" with a goal to launch and install more than 3,200 satellites in space by the end of next year, which was a required timeframe part of its agreement with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC. Meanwhile, a new launch date has yet to be announced.
