I’ve never seen OLED TVs as cheap as this Panasonic set in Amazon’s Spring Sale
The 48in MZ700 is down from £899 to £599
If you’d previously written off OLED telly tech for being way out of your price range, Amazon’s current Spring Sale will change your mind. There are discounts to be had across various brands, but Panasonic picks up the win for having the cheapest set around.
Right now you can get the 42in MZ700B for just £499, which is absolutely unheard of – and you don’t have to spend a lot more if you fancy something a little bigger. Here’s the full list of Panasonic’s top OLED offers:
- 42in Panasonic MZ700B OLED TV, save £300 – was £799, now £499 from Amazon
- 48in Panasonic MZ700B OLED TV, save £300 – was £899, now £599 from Amazon
Unfortunately for US shoppers, Panasonic doesn’t seem to have an American equivalent model.
Buying OLED over LCD gets you practically infinite contrast and the deepest, inkiest black levels, for picture quality that’ll make even the cringiest reality TV episode pop. Movies fare even better, with Dolby Vision HDR support, so film fans should be first in line.

Good luck finding an OLED 4K TV more affordable than the Panasonic MZ700B. At 48in it’s in perfect bedroom/study/game room territory, and the Android TV interface brings an extensive selection of streaming services. But really the panel is the highlight, with Dolby Vision HDR and perfect black levels.
The MZ700B uses a 60Hz panel and doesn’t support variable refresh rate, but console gamers will still appreciate the auto low latency mode (ALLM) and three HDMI ports for hooking up all your hardware. Panasonic has gone with Android TV for the telly’s operating system, with access to Google Play for downloading apps, games and the more esoteric streaming services that don’t come pre-installed on the set.
At 42in, the more affordable model makes the most sense as a bedroom TV, or as a second set in somewhere like a study, game room or conservatory. For your living room, I’d suggest finding an extra £50 and picking up the 48in version instead. Spec-wise it’s identical, so the extra cash is going purely on screen size.
