Picture good, sound catastrophic
I use the TV mostly for gaming, and the picture makes a really great impression. Even HD images can be scaled to 4K and are worth watching. The sound, however, is a pure disaster. The speakers on the TV are the worst I've ever seen on a TV, and we have 3 big-screen TVs here. I tried all the settings and it always sounded hollow and tinny. All the gimmicks about Dolby&Surround are more or less ineffective. Honestly, I don't know where the "full and rich sound", which is written in the description, is supposed to come from! Television would be a nightmare for me with this sound quality. But since I wear headphones when I play games anyway, that's fortunately not a knockout criterion for me. But I definitely can't recommend the TV in this price range.

Somewhat disappointing
I should have believed the YouTube testers more than the ramblings of Panasonic's product representatives! Because what I was really disappointed about is this black, which is really just a disturbing dark grey - a flim in cinema format with the black bars at the top and bottom is seen as a dark grey mass, especially in a dark room, and my Sony Full HD TV (KDL-50W658A) manages this much better than black. The app selection is also somewhat meagre and the Disney + app is missing. But the 4 HDMIs in the device control that are only labeled HDMI1, HDMI2, etc., are a bit stupid. - They cannot be renamed (or recognised by the system itself?); you have to remember where you connected what. Yes, the software of this TV is "a bit behind the times"-.
Another addendum: all Apple devices can NOT be mirrored on the TV, as Support has just confirmed. And the Sennheiser Bluetooth (4.2) headphones cannot be connected either! So there's only one thing I can say about this thing: stay away from it - there's a reason why the prices went down...Picture and functions great, sound not so great.
We were a little shocked because we bought a TV with energy efficiency class A+ and the set came with a sticker certifying it as class G (deep red). This seems to be due to the revision of energy efficiency classes.
We are very satisfied with the appliance.
The not-so-great sound of the built-in speakers plays a subordinate role for us, since we decided to buy the TV among other things because of the optical audio output, to which we connected an external speaker.Pro
