To test, I first connected the antenna and the power is on. The setup from the preset menu is very simple and self-explanatory. But you do not even need the manual. Setting up the Internet connection via WLAN, and the startup of the station search lasted about 25 minutes.
The setting is almost like a PC or tablet, you follow the instructions on the screen and would be if everything goes like clockwork. You get a short (very short) introduction how to use Home and Apps. But this we should take more time, because as I said the launch is really very short, and if you're not used to the menu of Panasonic, you need some time to get settled.
The VIERA how not expect anything different connections that one needs these days. Available are USB ports, an SD memory, of course, Scart and HDMI ports, headphone connector and satellite dish.
The Internet capability interested me initially most of the VIERA. The connection via Wi-Fi worked without problems, only to use the many apps you need a Panasonic ID that should be set up in advance. On the Internet (but which is troublesome) to get well that way.
Now for the really important: the picture and sound quality. So the sound of VIERA is good even without connecting to a sound system, but with sound system you have a real cinema experience.
The image quality of the device has excited me really. The colors are strong, the image is razor sharp.
What I do not like, is the remote control.
For someone like me, the Samsung is usual, the remote control is a small joke. It is already quite big and the keys are also great, but I do not have a touch panel. It is so tedious to enter anything on the remote control. Here I have to think of something to me. I watch very little TV, but more Internet as Prime Instant Video and Bluray.
Currently I enjoy movies on Bluray and that's a real cinema experience.
