Panasonic 55 inch HX580BZ 4K MultiHDR LED LCD Smart TV with FreeviewPlay

Very, very good. Recommendations and reviews on line, rate this as one of the best in it's class, and it is! I know that there are not many reviews on here, but it is highly rated elsewhere. It is one of the few TV's with a centre stand. (The 2 feet variety, need a very long base.) The picture is very good, as I had a cheaper one for a few days, but I was disappointed with the picture and sound quality, so I got this one instead. As I said the picture quality is very good and as well as having presets, you can fine tune it and it also saves your picture and sound quality settings, as a different profile for external sources. (USB's, DVD's etc.) Again the sound is very good, with set profiles or you can use the graphic equaliser. The app menu is quite extensive with Google as well. The TV guide is very nice, with the facility to look back a week and play what you have missed, without hunting for it on iplayer.

Great TV. Noticeably much lighter in weight than my 2009 Sony that this one replaces, although the Sony is still exceptionally good. I ordered the TV on the Monday with a delivery date of Friday. It arrived the next day mid afternoon! Originally I have looked at getting the same model from Currys but they quoted 10 to 21 days. The price £399 was the same as Amazon, The TV was simple to set up and is excellent in both sound and picture quality. The only minor negative point is that when you change stations the menu details take a long time to disappear from the screen. I cant see how this can be reduced if at all. Another plus for us was the central stand. Other models these days seem to have spindly legs. It was this feature that sealed the deal over similar models like Sony and Samsung.

Firstly 50inch is more than enough for my living room too much if I'm honest but for the price this TV was a good deal. The good stuff The picture quality is superb (however you need to turn the vivid motion off or action scenes are unwatchable) There are plenty of hdmi cables slots 4 to be exact so pc console firestick and blu Ray dvd can all be connected at the same time. Installation and set up is pretty easy few screws to put the base on and then connect to Internet either hard wired or WiFi and it's ready to go (took me longer to get it out of the box them to set up lol) The standard speakers are pretty decent and it goes very loud when the volume is cranked up Yet the connectivity of optical or line out options expands to proper surround sound options ( I have mine running through my alesis m1s sounds amazing) The bad stuff The remote is way to big The tvs smart functions are slow to load apps and shows a good 20/30 seconds than the 4k amazon fire stick I use. On that note when the firestick is plugged in it completely takes over the TV and the functions of the main TV remote even tho it comes with its own remote. For example when the firestick isn't plugged in I can push the home button to select what source I want to use or when watching an app can adjust the sound and picture settings. Yet when the firestick is in the home button becomes a way to get to the firesticks settings and no options of what source I want to use so I can't switch between firestick ps4 or pc which is really annoying I have to physically unplug the firestick to get the TV bk to normal. If your thinking of putting this on a wall then I think it would sit flush as it only has 1 hdmi slot on the side but if you bought a spliter you could solve problem. Lastly to get the best from it you have to constantly fiddle around with the settings if you are using it for multiple media's. So watching TV on dynamic then switch to ps4 have to switch to hdr game and again the same thing if I use the laptop through it no profile selection or memory saves for the setting for the different hdmi sources just normal or enhanced for uhd 4k viewing If you have a new xbox you will never see 120fps at 4k as the TV refresh rate is 60hz While I would recommend this TV I feel its outdated even tho I bought it brand new about a month ago

The TV is great - just what it says it is... no Disney +, but that's Panasonic. Everything else is great, very easy to use and intuitive - great picture. The best bit though is the service from the provider/fulfiller Hughes - mine arrived promptly - even a bit early - but it was damaged - still worked, but had a big dent in the screen. I contacted Hughes, they responded quickly and within 3 days they brought a new TV and took away the damaged one. When they brought the new one i asked if we could have a look while they were on hand to make sure the new one was ok -they said sure and they then unboxed it and did all the assembly and set up for me! The even took the box and packaging when they took the broken one away too - amazing service!

Bought in February 2021 to replace an old 37" not full hd Viera model. Sadly, if this one is allegedly 4k, it doesn't really deliver: the general image quality is poor, the upscaling is far from convincing and the factory settings are terrible: all the parameters are set to max by default, generating a quantity of glitches, hiccups and artefacts (flee the hdr+ mode and finding the right compatible video mode is a longish hit-and-miss business, the automatic selecting mode giving mediocre results). Cherry on the cake, setting everything to get at last a decent image is a lenghty and complicated process due to an absolute nightmare of menu diving mess of user interface with parameters haphazardly set all over the place. Same with scanning, filtering, sorting and setting/renaming inputs and tv channels and favorites. Add to the mix a poor "smart tv" experience with the strict minimum available (no android tv here) and only one of the 4 hdmi inputs compatible with hdmi 2.1. Though the tv is quite richly equipped in inputs (4 hdmi, 2 usbs, ethernet, aerial, cable and satellite coax, rca audio and component in, optical and jack audio out, only one hdmi, one usb and earphone jack are installed sideways, meaning that it is impossible to wall mount the set with all those protruding backwards cables. Anyway, after a mere 3 months of use, the video card started behaving erratically (loss of Y component and chroma limited to R and B, then intermittent black screen, ending with a total video fail. A call to the repair service resulted in an almost 3 weeks wait before someone came and picked up the set for repair. At the time of writing, the tv has been gone for a week now without any news.whatsoever from Panasonic. Message from the repairman before leaving: "with import difficulties due to Brexit new regulations - the spare parts are coming from Germany - we can't give you a precise timeframe. Might be a week or weeks... We'll keep you posted"

Good value Tv. Easy to set up. Good picture and sounds. Although can’t get volume to work on remote control. Never mind just use sky remote instead.

Very impressed with this set. The thing I like most is the amazing remote control which displays a mouse/pointer on the screen and makes it very easy to select whatever option you need to press. Picture quality is really good too. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone.

So I've had this TV for 6 months now and for most basic features it's good. I don't do 4k, but there is decent HD picture and sound, and most of the smart features and the apps work well. So if you're after an affordable TV with the basic features and no frills, it's a good buy. Two downsides though. One relatively minor niggle, is the large NETFLIX button on the remote which is very easy to press by accident when it's dark, and it then takes 15-20 seconds to get out of Netflix. even when you switch the TV off and on, it comes back onto Netflix. I have a Panasonic blu-ray player which has exactly the same button and I resorted to gauging it out of the remote. I will probably do the same for this one. The other downside (much bigger for me) is the very poor network file playback. There is built in software to browse through and play back files, whether from your home network or from a plugged in USB stick. When a USB stick is plugged in, this works ok, but when files played back from a network, no matter how fast the internet connection, and regardless of whether an ethernet cable or wi-fi is being used, the files often stutter, and very often cannot be played back properly. It's not a network problem as they play back fine on my other TV. I appreciate that 95% of buyers likely won't need this function but for me, it's a real problem.
