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

nice picture, good sound, reasonable price
The TV was very easy to assemble, just plug in the two solid feet. The installation was also easy, even for me as a layman. After a short time, everything was ready for use. That's what makes technology fun.
The delivery promise was kept very precisely, very good performance from digitec.Pro

Great TV
I bought the TV mainly for gaming and am very satisfied with the price-performance ratio. I can only recommend the TV for this purpose. I'm looking forward to the picture with the PS5.
Pro
- Good resolution
- fast picture repetition

- Sound leaves something to be desired
