Reviews
Experience of using: Less than a month
Pros: Modern
Cons: Slow, Flimsy stand, Unreliable
I bought other model at first and brought it back to store. After that I tried this Panasonic, which is now also returned. There are several drawbacks which I found in this model, but which is most convincing to return it, is light bleed pattern that can be changed during cleaning the unit with textile. Then I found dent on the back panel. When you watch it you will notice vertical bars on sides that are darker than the rest of picture. Hope Panasonic to forgive me but I can't live with such TV. Viera Connect works very slowly, though other applications are quite fine. Later I found similar problems with other customers, so I think Panasonic should pay attention to these remarks.
Experience of using: Less than a month
Pros: Great picture quality
Cons: Poor sound quality
I like picture representation but sound could be better. But tomorrow I'm going to return it because it came in damaged box, because Panasonic doesn't want to take care of its products.
Experience of using: About 6 months
Pros: Durable, Easy to set up, Great picture quality, Easy to use remote control
I had another Panasonic before which was old heavy and bulky model. So after three-day investigation I chose this new device. Very good color representation makes picture amazing. I used calibration disc to make proper settings. To make myself absolutely happy I purchased Panasonic Blu-Ray player. So I can enjoy 100%.
Experience of using: About 6 months
Pros: Numerous apps, Easy to set up, Great picture quality
I'm not interested in 3D and I can connect my Ethernet cable to TV instead of paying extra for Wi-Fi, so this Panasonic is fine with me. I appreciate Great picture quality, adjustable settings and useful applications.
Experience of using: 1 year or more
Pros: Great picture quality, Great sound quality, Realistic colors
I was disappointed that Panasonic doesn't fix its Netflix issue as in all models there is black screen flashing every several minutes. It's very inconvenient and I was going to substitute this TV with Sony or Samsung, but I couldn't. The rest of characteristics in Panasonic are much better and image is outstanding.
Experience of using: Few months
Pros: Great picture quality, Numerous apps, Realistic colors, Bright display
I'm not an ordinary customer, I'm a gamer and programmer and I understand difference in such products. I will never buy simple unit and I look for many useful applications and internet connection. This LED LCD model charmed me with sharp and vivid image, decent colors: black is black and white is white. If you're not much professional in TVs, read instructions carefully to choose suitable mode for movies or games. Till now I haven't tried all applications available in this unit, but which I switched on work well and fast. If you have sensitive eyes, this model will also be suitable for you.
