📺 Hisense Replaces Panasonic — And Why It’s a Smart Upgrade
For years, Panasonic TV held a strong reputation in New Zealand homes for reliability, picture accuracy, and long-lasting performance. But as technology evolves, so do the brands leading the market. In recent years, Hisense has stepped forward as one of the strongest and most reliable TV manufacturers, offering impressive quality at a price point that makes sense for most households.
If you’ve recently replaced a Panasonic TV with a Hisense model, you’ve likely already noticed the difference — and in many ways, it’s an upgrade worth celebrating.
Why Hisense Has Become a Top Choice
Hisense has invested heavily in modern display technology, smart features, and build quality. The result is a TV lineup that consistently punches above its price range.
Key strengths of Hisense:
• Excellent picture quality with vibrant colours and strong contrast
• UHD 4K and QLED options that rival premium brands
• Smooth motion handling, great for sports and gaming
• Built‑in Smart TV features (VIDAA or Google TV) with fast, intuitive navigation
• Strong reliability backed by solid warranties
• Outstanding value for money
Hisense has essentially taken the space Panasonic once dominated — offering dependable TVs that perform well for everyday Kiwi households.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

34.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
