Panasonic TB-55W60AEY, W60 Series 55 inch 4K Ultra HD LED Smart TV, 2024, Freely, TiVo, 4K Colour Engine, Dolby Vision & Atmos, For An Exceptional Visual Experience

Looking for a lower priced branded flat LED TV? How about a Panasonic one?This is the Panasonic TB-43W70AEY W60 Series, 43 Inch TV KD-43X72K 4K HD LED 60hz Smart TV, Measures 96.5 x 23.5 x 61.7cm.Unboxing this TV was a delight compared to others I have had in the past, it was as light as feather, and there is just the simply assembly of one base to screw in. You get one standard remote control powered by 2 x AAA Batteries, that are included and were branded Panasonic. There is no need to connect to a terrestrial aerial as the WiFi sorts that and connect the power, there are 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x HDMI 2.1, 2 x USB 2.0, Headphone output, 1 x Digitsl Audio Out and an Ethernet cable, so you can connect your devices Sky, BluRay, Firestick, Consoles and your internet. But you can connect to your WiFi, which is easily done via the initial set up, this allows you to connect and use the TiVo / Freely. This will guide you through the terrestrial tune in, which scan automatically via WiFi, stores channels and allows you to chop n change as you wish! Speaking of the remote this is a pretty bog standard Panasonic layout remote, but has added shortcut buttons to the aforementioned Freely, Netflix, Disney + and YouTube, there is also a voice command button in the centre.Using the TV is a delight, the TiVo engine seems to handle things well, even when multi buttons are pressed, it will go with last pressed option, no real lag, so whatever processor it uses does the simple things well. You get Dolby Atmos on the sound, so ideal for bedrooms and small living rooms, any larger and you will most certain need a soundbar!Love the Freely feature, all channels available as if by aerial but via WiFi, it has all the on demand Apps to play your favourite tv shows from, luckily they are all here BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5, Apple TV, Paramount + (which is free with Apple TV) and there are even Music Apps.Hopefully you subscribe to the top packages giving you the 4K content, this will give you a real taster of what this tv can do. We normally buy the top flagship models, but this became available and I got it for my youngest daughter and I was not disappointed. This exceeded all expectations with the display, the 4K images this was dishing out were comparable to sets that are double the price, the 4k Panasonic engine really excels itself with its display the colours are immense, the outlines are crisp, no judder, real natural motion and the 4K HD holds depth really well. In the past I have been really picky with black levels, but these weren’t an issue on this set, just some simple twerks in the picture settings and you can achieve the perfect picture. Google the model and picture calibration, there you will find your perfection and get the most out of your new TV. There is nothing wrong with the standard picture choices, but pick one and fine tune it with the perfect calibration. You will notice a huge difference on 4K Blu-Rays and especially when playing games in Game Mode! Unfortunately you will not get the best performance for the current generation of consoles, as they run at 120fps (2.1 HDMI) and this set pushes just 60fps (2.0 HDMI), that is my only grumble. But all sets in the future will be 120fps and HDMI 2.1…Overall I’d thoroughly recommend this 4K HD Panasonic TV, it is the right side of £300, has a lot going for it with its Freely / TiVo Smart options, great voice control and bright vivid pictures.

Wonderful tv, I am over the moon with it, easy to install and picture and colour fabulous, my elderly mother has a hearing problem but we don’t need the booster as sound fab

I kept getting a power fault with a flashing red to green power LED on switch on and off but changing my elderly gang of four has fixed that, I resolved that issue by typing the problem into Google for the solution. The over the airwaves Freeview HD image quality is very good. Streaming off a HD 4K Firestick also has very good image quality. The FreeviewPlay service I don't understand or doesn't work. The TV loses internet connection randomly even when I know the connection is solid on other equipment, this happens over both wireless and wired connection methods. The TV's user interface is hopeless, awful, terrible, a joke. I have to keep turning the TV on and off as, for example, although I might be solidly watching Channel 4 over the airwaves for a while, I then can't change channels or bring the TV guide up as the TV is unresponsive apart from showing the channel it's been on for a while. The TV doesn't pop or excite with Blu-Ray 4K UHD movies. Although it took my breath away with Playstation 5 Sniper Elite 5. The remote eats through new Duracell batteries like no one's business.

Great TV and a bargain price. Very impressed with the light weight design and picture quality.The gaming mode makes the image from a PS5 really crisp and clear. It’s big but the stand is good quality and stable.

An excellent purchase. Screen very clear, and the sound quality is really good compared to some we have had.

Worst TV I've ever owned. Even trying to turn the TV on can be a hassle. Sometimes it won't turn on and just turns itself back off. The internet connectivity is awful and takes ages to connect (Sometimes a reboot at the plug doesn't work) has no Now TV app.

The picture quality is very good, and the actual set up of the channels was very straightforward. But oh my goodness the stand is hideous. After 40 minutes trying to get the small screws to hold the two pieces of the stand in place, but having it wobble and fall apart I was all set to send it back. It just isn't a good design at all. However as luck would have it the existing stand on my old TV slotted into the back of this one. So, a pretty decent TV, but be prepared for a tussle with the stand!

Great TV, easy to set up and works, what more can you say.
