Panasonic TB-50W60AEY, W60 Series 50 inch 4K Ultra HD LED Smart TV, 2024, Freely, TiVo, 4K Colour Engine, Dolby Vision & Atmos, For An Exceptional Visual Experience

I had to replace an old TV that was delaminating and had slow, clunky old tech internet. The Panasonic was reasonably priced for 4K resolution, with decent connectivity at the back of the TV. I was almost put off by the reviews about set up but almost all of it worked first time by following the on-screen instructions, including the channel search. The worst part was setting up wifi connectivity, where it failed to connect and dropped the signal a few times before it eventually settled down. Similarly at first it was quite slow generally to start up and change channel etc, but this sped up after a short while and now it's quite normal. It's almost like it needed a while to wake up completely from its sleep in transit. Setting up some of the app accounts on the TV was assisted/sped up by using a separate phone or tablet to use in conjunction with the on-screen passcodes. Most of the TV apps you'd expect to see are to be found on the 'Freely' function, which has its own button on the remote. We also plug in a Roku dongle via HDMI for some subscription foreign language channels and this worked fine, the only upset being that when we first tested it, the TV sound cut out completely! A quick Google search showed this is a common issue with Panasonic TVs and the first suggested solution, to unplug from the mains for 60 seconds and restart, worked first time (memories of Windows 95!!), and so far no repeat. My wife complained that the screen was too bright, but it was a simple job to adjust the contrast via the Settings button on the remote. So all in all it's a 4.5 star rating due to those small teething issues, but otherwise I am very happy with it.

Brilliant, delivered with care, helpful delivery staff

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 for the price , trickiest part of setting up was attaching the stand to the TV. Great picture and sound .

Very nice TV , bit tricky to connect to internet but a little patience and perseverance ....et voila!. Remarkable value.

Not happy about,tv remote control its not working,and if the tv dont have wifi the same tv its not working.Someone here ho can help me with this?

Why don't all large televisions have centre stands like this model. It was so easy to put together and set up.

It works perfectly. Thank you
