more than just distance "see" the new "VIERA" Panasonic ....

Delivery and installation - We got delivered for the first time a television (otherwise we have always bought locally, among other things, to be able to inspect the picture and gently transporting himself back home). And we were a bit shocked that it only in its original packaging (162cm x 84cm x 15cm) was delivered and the feed, although visibly shown on the box (just standing in length) upended him in the car and only with a small rubber band above, had transported. Luckily he has arrived safely.
The big box with 26kg also not that hard, but unwieldy, and therefore one should be in pairs. Even when unpacking and installation. We have carefully pulled him lying in the overpack, both feet pushed in, erect and feet tightly screwed. In order then to lift him onto the sideboard (weighs only about 20kg). And then the cable attached. First, a time only electricity and the satellite dish on the DVB-S tuner.
In the box there is in addition to the feet and screws, only one remote control including batteries and a Quick Start Guide.
3-D glasses are not present in these facilities.

Commissioning - The TV is a simple structure and operating instructions. Anyone who wants to learn more about the installation and menu navigation but which can on the Panasonic page (on Panasonic -> Consumer -> Flat Panel Televisions -> tipps_aktionen.html) the brochure: "The new Panasonic Twin HD triple tuner with Sat> IP Client" Download 132 side. The software and menus are the same, only that here a simple triple tuner has been used or under the eHelp button on the remote control you can also get help Initial installation is simple.
Simply launch the device menu Select your language in German and then follow the simple instructions. Since the aid in the TV is very good and detailed, you can not go wrong. And if they do fast korigieren.

Connections: The Panasonic has 1x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0 ports and an SD card slot for photos, videos, and play music as well as an HDMI, headphones and a CI slot - (max 900mA.) (Max 500 mA.) left side.
In addition, even 2 x HDMI, 1 x AV1 Scart, 1x AV 2 Component / video, Ethernet, satellite, terrestrial antenna and digital audio on the back.

The remote is well good, but very simple and from the division ago they could be better. Some important control buttons are at the top and it tilts in your hands when you operate sometimes away. But there are other possibilities such as a new touch remote control. Or you can simply connect via USB to a normal small wireless mouse and open the right toll button the remote control to the screen (you can also connect a set of keyboard).

The image - is extremely sharp with a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (8,3Mp) compared to HD with 1920 x 1080 (2,0Mp). In some programs, we have the impression of 3D TV makes even without glasses. We are delighted with the image quality.
Who calls his own high-resolution, such as cameras can here for the first time his shots in super image quality, image size and sharpness consider that there is a nearly knocks.

Multimedia and recording - The TV has indeed a fast USB 3.0 slot or an SD card slot. There simply insert the disk and you will open the Multimedia Center. But be careful when loading large files, it takes some time. If you press too quickly he is stubborn and turns back to the TV menu. So far, all the media were whether hard drive, USB flash drive or card recognized and given back.
Only when it comes to a storage media for receiving the television program he is picky.
The disks with 500Gb and 1Tb formatting was not a problem. When a disk with 250Gb Play - yes, formatting - no. USB sticks Formatting basically rejected (even rejected our new 128GB USB3.0 flash drive).
The recording itself is simple. In Guide to select the program, press record and off TV. It lights up a yellow LED. Start recording will be turned on only the hard drive, the TV stays off. Watch TV app, a difference between recording and original can not be seen.

3D feature no original glasses from Panasonic was going there, we have in the shop can advise us on the spot and a Samsung 3D glasses SSG-3570CR model bought for testing. As a player, we use a 'Samsung BD-H8909S HD recorder with twin tuner and 3D Blu-ray player' and as a film, among other things Avatar 3D. Everything works very well. The TV detects everything automatically and switches. The presentation is very good and the look is fun.

Internet / Network / functions The connection was made via LAN cable (100BASE_TX) or wireless 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
The television program also on a tablet to transfer is possible and easy through the remote function. But is for a device with only one TV tuner only a small gimmick. It works with a 12 sec delay, thereby canceling the transmission when you switch on the remote control to another station, from. When switching between the channels from the Tablet, the connection remains - it takes again but up to 12 Sec.
With the App Viera Remote 2, the TV can also operate as a remote control.
On the device there is, of course, but some do not work with us and a lot of pre-installed app's.

Sound - The Panasonic two 10-watt speakers were installed. The sound can be adjusted according to his needs. It is completely sufficient for the TV picture. When our older TV sets he was partly much worse. Therefore, here we have a well.

Power consumption - The manufacturer specifies the average power consumption with 129W and has thus obtained the classification B. I have a commercial meter interposed to see the actual consumption. A coarse fraction of the use of the site has. The brighter the room brighter must be the image and thus the consumption increases. Why was asked during the initial installation and after the location of home or business.
In the main menu screen, some are already preset. A manual image correction is possible at any time without much effort.
ca.186W with dynamic bright and high-contrast image
ca.87W in Normal, Cinema and True Cinema mode
about 120W in 3D playback
Under Other settings in the Setup menu, you can power-saving mode on or off. The consumption decreases so on ca.79W in normal mode.
I think for this picture quality and size are 80-90 Watt perfectly fine. My Sony Bravia 46 inch HD consumed ca.45-50W.
If he is from - about 13W when recording to HDD.

Other functions, the device is a real lot rounder. In addition to the normal television via satellite, cable or terrestrial one has many options such as DVB-via-IP. To do this however, still required in addition to a digital satellite system a SAT> IP Converter. Since we are still in the process to find a suitable, then it must still be established. This converts the television signals of the satellite system into network-enabled signals. That means that up to 4 SAT> IP-enabled devices such as TVs, receivers, PCs, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices are supplied with all TV and radio programs freely available simultaneously.
There is a language function by which you can control the TV with Language (requires an external device cell phone / tablet with microphone).
Then another message reader which reads an example information about the program (barrier-free function). And much more ....

Conclusion: We are completely satisfied. Depending of course of the offered quality of each TV program, it provides a wonderful, clear, and realistic picture. The sound is good with a connected Soundbar / plant naturally super. Commissioning, settings and operation is easy thanks to a very good and clear menu structure and excellent built-in help. To which he has besides recording and playback still very many well-functioning futures fun and work fine. A little all-rounder, which is well thought out and made ...
