New Panasonic 50AX802B Owner

[DFA1984]

Hi all, been reading this board for a while and finally decided to register and post. I've just purchased a 50AX802B from Panasonic store Sheffield. Had the TV in since Saturday and early impressions are it's a wonderful piece of engineering. My main reason for posting is to find anyone else with one and to share/discuss opinions, or anyone thinking of buying one to ask any questions. Thanks for reading either way.

Hello and welcome to WHFS&V and congratulations on you new 4K tv, i think a couple of chaps on here have just bought a 2013 plasma.

Hi Simon thanks for the welcome. Plasma was not really an option for me as I move home a lot.

I have a 2008 plasma, it's very heavy and reflective so i'm looking forward to a 4K led tv next time i upgrade.

That's some money's worth there mate. My last was a lg47lw650t which I gave my dad after a drunken Father's Day gift promise. I love the 4k videos via usb and the blu rays never looked as good. Sad thing is my main reason for a 4k was to feel like I've done my bit to warrant broadcasters etc that 4k is in demand.

So, what 4K are you able to watch at all? Panasonic doesn't support Netflix 4K, and apparently there's no firmware update which can enable it either.

Hi Agent Smith. I can't really say which videos via which you tube channels via any certain video downloader I've used but they are spectacular. Although I will admit a larger screen than 50" would be more suited for 4k content.
