" ... I also have a Sony 4k 55" led and I found no issues with the picture quality of Panasonic compared with Sony (although overall qualitywise - hands down SONY is the best) but compare the cost difference (40,000/-) and keeping in mind Japanese heritage of Panasonic , I went for this one , and I'm pretty pleased with my investment. ... I say if you need a high quality LED 4k with all the practicality of a modern day TV , and you fear buying cheap brands half the price with budget not enough for a Sony/Samsung , you should go for this one , you will not be disappointed. ... The photo attached is in cinema mode , 4k video on YouTube. ... "
" ... Watching 4k pictures on Youtube, the quality is mindblowing. ... Though there isn't much Free 4K content available that is worth watching, but this TV is ready when needed. ... It nicely upscales 1080p and 720p content, has a nice frame rate, and the speakers are decent. ... It does an admirable job for SD channels as well. ... In summary, for the price, as a 4K UHD TV this Panasonic 55" is bang for the buck, but not the best smart TV features. ... "
" ... HD channel viewing really elevated to totally new level, just like watching through your window, ... Though there is some difference between these clips and HD channels, Discovery, NGC and TravelXP HD are truly amazing. ... TV has Netflix, amazon, youtube, I started with amazon prime and now watching some serials, trouble free viewing with broadband. ...
