Great picture quality, vibrant colours, easy to set up. A little slow response time but not a big problem for me. Replaced old Panasonic tv with this new one as always been reliable.
Amazon Customer –
Really pleased with this product. This is my 2nd Panasonic TV, have purchased one around 6 years ago from Currys, (still works great picture 32″) replaced an LG TV with this as was bothered by screen lag and clarity of image.Not disappointed great picture (in my opinion) good sound too from the TV, however I have enhanced by running via a Sony soundbar via the eArc link. Works perfectly and enhances the reasonable enought internal sound.
Customer ReviewCustomer Review –
The media could not be loaded. This is the first TV I’ve used with fire TV built in. It functions exactly the same as a firestick so if you’ve ever used one of those you’ll be right at home. If it’s your first smart TV then the menus and functions are very intuitive so it shouldn’t be too daunting.Picture quality – Brightness and colours look decent. There’s some small light bleed from the corners and side which you would expect from an LED TV. It’s nothing that would distract from normal viewing. TV shows and films look very good in 4k UHD with the dolby vision automatically kicking in when watching dolby enabled content so you don’t have to mess with the picture settings to get the best viewing experience..It handles gaming well and switches the picture mode to ‘Game’ automatically when you switch the hdmi to a playstation or other games console then switches it back to your normal setting when you turn it off. It’s really intuitive.Sound quality – The one thing I like with LED panels over thinner and more expensive OLED / QLED TVs is the sound quality is always far better. This fire TV is no exception with very good sound quality and clear dialogue. You can connect it to a soundbar or external speakers but the sound is good enough that you don’t need to.Design – The bezels at the front are really thin which gives the TV a premium look. The legs at the bottom are easy to fix with 4x screws. They’re clearly labelled and can only fit one way so they’re well designed. There’s quite a large bevel at the back of the TV but it’s not too intrusive and if you find yourself regularly looking at the back of the TV then you may have installed it the wrong way round.Connectivity – Around the back it has 4x HDMI ports with one eARC supported, 2x USB ports, 1x aerial in, 1x satellite in, ethernet port, optical out, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 3.5mm AV mini jack. All the ports are located on the right hand side when looking at the screen with the power cable on the left hand side. The power cable is quite short at 1.5 meters so if you dont have a power socket very close you will likely need an extension cable. The power cable isn’t hard wired so you could pick up a 2.5A 250v figure of 8 cable at a longer length if needed.If you’re wall mounting, the VESA holes are 200 x 200 which is fairly standard for this size of TV. It’s not particularly heavy so can be lifted by one person relatively easily, although I’d recommend at least 2 people to wall mount it.Connectivity via WiFi is straightforward which can be done by putting your WiFi password in via the remote or through your phone via the Fire TV app. Bluetooth pairs and connects quickly and playback via a Bluetooth speaker or headphones is clear with no delay between sound and picture. As it has Amazon fire TV built in it connects seamlessly to other amazon products you may have. It synced with my amazon account instantly and pulled all my apps and log in info from my current firestick.Software – As mentioned the TV has Fire TV built in which is straightforward to use. You don’t get the range of third party apps as you do on Google TV however all the main streaming apps are included so it should be fine for the majority of people. You can sideload apps to the TV in the same way you can on a firestick if you’re more tech savvy. The TV guide is handled by freeview play and it was incredibly quick to search and store channels. It was up and running in under a minute. Scrolling through the TV guide was quick with no pauses or delays.Misc.- The remote is easy to use with dedicated buttons for Netflix, amazon prime and freeview play. There’s alexa built in where you hold down the mic button and provide a command. It worked well and handled instructions to play certain shows in certain apps without any issues. I really like the addition of the apps button to take you to your installed apps list along with a dedicated customisable button to open any app of perform a set function. You can even program it to provide a command to alexa.It’s a decent all in one smart TV. If you’re used to using a firestick or have a ring doorbell or other smart devices then it’s a good option.

This is my first time owning a Panasonic TV and I have to say that this would be a brand I defintely look into again when choosing a new TV.The TV was remarkably easy to set up with channels (Freeview) and WiFi set up done within minutes not to mention the Bluetooth pairing of a sound bar.What I really love about this is the built in fire tv stick tech rather than having to use a separate peripheral and the remote control is voice interaction, cutting down on separate remote controls.There is also dedicated buttons on the remote rather than having to search for a given app which makes selecting streaming platforms that bit easier and quicker.This is the 43inch version and the picture and sound quality are far superior to our older TV (from another brand which claimed that it was also 4K UHD) which is larger at 55inch.Connecting a gaming system and the TV optimises the picture into game mode which compliments the system and has been giving a much better picture than our previous TV.The TV features all the usual input ports such as HDMI, USB as well as TV aerial input for Freeview users. There is also a common interface but this tends to be negligible for most users.Size wise and the TV is pretty thin and port locations are well placed to make it easy to sit the TV flush to the wall if you’re wall mounting it and isn’t heavy at all.It took me a little while to get used to the remote control as I’ve been so used to the remote from our other brand TV but this is just something that comes naturally through trial and effort. Eventually it feels intuitive enough to use without having to look at the remote much. Almost like a subliminal skill that one acquires lol.I think it’s well priced at just under £400 at time of review and is definitely a great choice for a new TV and definitely one to consider when making a choice.What had me sold was the in-built fire TV and the fact that I can also link this with my ring doorbell too (something I couldn’t do with my old smart TV)It also features the auto source change with the hdmi arc port for my PS4 which automatically switches to the gaming channel when I turn the PS4 on.I’m impressed with this TV from Panasonic and would definitely give them a second look when we next need a TV.Colours are good with various picture options and very good blacks. Sound is quite impressive too on its own and although we linked this to a sound bar, most times we don’t need it on with a good amount of bass when watching YouTube and music videos.Again sound can be altered with various sound settings to suit most users taste.If I’d seen this in a store and compared with other TVs of similar price I think I would have walked out with this brand for sure.This is a very good choice and I love the Alexa and fire TV functionality.

Excellent – just what you’d expect from Panasonic

For a well-known brand I was expecting top-notch quality with this television and I’m not disappointed! The clarity and picture is superb!This 43″ flat screen television is 965 mm wide and the height of the screen is 566 mm. It’s slim-screened but will need a 219 mm depth to accommodate the legs. There are 2 silver metal legs rather than a central one and they split the weight from the front to the back. The legs screw on and are simple enough to do, but make sure your television cabinet or stand is of an adequate size to safely position them. (Our stand wasn’t suitable for the legs, so we set the TV up the spare room for a week whilst the new stand arrived 🙈).Including the legs, the clear height you need for this television is 617 mm. It’s not crucifyingly heavy for such a large screen either which is nice, yet it’s sturdy and stable.This latest generation Fire TV is equipped to deal with Prime Video, Alexa, and all the usual stuff and will pair with other smart home devices too. It also collects all of your favourite apps and channels and places them on the home screen too which is useful.There’s a remote and batteries included and the TV connects to the Wi-Fi easily.It’s an ultra HD 4K screen, which to me means high definition and great resolution with a great picture qualtity and that it certainly is! The picture is clear with vivid colour and the sound is brilliant!One of the first things I check for on TV is the ports on the back and this one has several HDMI ports (4) and 2 USB ports, as well as the standard aerial and ethernet points.There are too many variables that you can choose on the settings to describe, but I will mention the various viewing modes as they are always good to have (dynamic, cinema etc),which I do feel makes a difference.One other thing that is good to know for any gamers, (we have a couple in our house), is that there is a specific gamer mode which speeds up any lag, making a difference during gameplay (my son confirms this).I haven’t had chance to appreciate or use all of the apps or capabilities offered on this TV as yet and the chance of even getting a look in half the time is rare (even less so now than before!), but it is a crisp, clear picture and delivers wonderful immersive sound.Slightly more expensive than many televisions of this size, but the build quality, make and capability of this TV speaks for itself.Very, very nice and fully recommended.

I have several TVs in the home, they are all smart TVs and I got them each for their own specific functions and features. This is however my first Fire TV, I do have a few Firesticks but haven’t really used one for a while as I prefer using my Nvidia Shields over them due to the streaming speeds and quality over them. However this Fire TV has made a really good impression on me, and it’s really good to see how while the software and features have improved over the last 2 years.Now with regards to the physical Panasonic TV: I was very surprised as to just how light it is, it was super easy to unbox, connect the feet and setup into our preferred location, but just to add to this it can also be mounted if needed. Even though it feels light, it still feels well-made and of decent quality. Once turned on and connected to my WIFI it did require an update, getting to the main menu did take a bit of time and will require an account setting up to use the smart features, but this is pretty standard these days and would assume most people would already have an account for their other devices.There are a decent amount of device connections, the mains ones for me being:4x HDMI (1x eARC)2x USB ports1x Optical Audio1x Ethernet1x 3.5mm Headphone JackThe picture quality is as expected; both the brightness and colours look great and movies and shows look very good in 4K Ultra HD. I like that it switches the picture mode automatically when you switch to other devices, like game mode for gaming consoles. The sound quality is much better than expected, it sounds better than others we have used but we still opted to use a soundbar.The software is really straightforward and user friendly to use as most people are more than likely already using it or have done so in the past on a Firestick. You get all the main streaming apps and you still have the option to sideload apps the same way you would on a firestick if this is something you’ve done in the past. One thing I really do like is that Alexa is built in, we already have 3 Alexa devices dotted around the house and this makes it really convenient as she is already part of the family.Overall, I feel this is a decent all in one Smart TV, it has a lot going for it and if you looking for a new or a replacement this might be a great option.

This television is of decent size enough to be able to be watched from the other side of the room without straining your neck or eyesight.The picture quality is great nice and sharp with bright vibrant colors the sound quality is good for the small speakers although I ended up using it with a sound bar for more Bass.The remote control works fine and it easily has multiple HDMI connectors for various home gadgetry PS5 Blu-ray Etc.On another note it works very well with my PlayStation 5 in game mode especially on anti-lag games where speed and low latency is required.Construction feels a bit flimsy but is actually pretty decent with the built-in stand it works well but the TV can also be wall mounted on a standard vessel mount.

I’m generally impressed with the Panasonic TV. It was easy to set up, you just plug it in, connect it to your WiFi and let it update. After that you can login to your amazon account and start watching, and download other apps available through the TV. The picture and sound quality are both brilliant, and you have various options to adjust both.At the moment I’m just using it to watch catch-up tv/streaming services. It functions as expected but sometimes it is a little slow to respond when using the remote control (I suspect this has more to do with my Internet connection that the TV itself). However with regard to watching, it is completely fine, no delays or any other issues. Also, a couple of times when I am going onto the amazon prime app, after I have entered the parental control pin I set up, instead of going straight to the prime page the screen goes grey. But when I select the prime video app again via the button on the remote, it asks me to enter the pin again and then does go to my prime page. This is the only flaw I have encountered.With regard to censoring content for children, the TV offers two levels of parental control/censorship. Since you can create both adult and child watching profiles, you can enter a “child pin” to lock them out of adult profiles. I also found that I could have a pin on prime video too, so if the child is watching something on amazon prime through the adult account, it will request a pin for every series episode or film they want to watch which is not age appropriate. These settings allow you to choose the level of censorship too.Overall I would definitely recommend this TV.
