Herbert Todd's were fortunate to be invited to Panasonic's launch event reserved for their preferred independent partners.
On show were some of the finest ultra high definition or UHD 4K LED televisions we have seen.
Demonstrators were on hand to make sure all our questions were answered and it was reassuring to see that the overall quality on show was just what you would expect of this well respected manufacturer.
Key technologies for this year included the usual picture tweaks but with the demise of Plasma we were keen to see how their latest LED panels measured up in terms of levels of black and contrast.
The results were good but for us still not quite that of their outgoing award winning plasma. The addition of Freetime services to most of the Pansonic range will make it easier than ever for customers to find and watch on-line content such as BBC iPlayer, Youtube and Netflix.
In response to the curvy LED screens available from other manufacturers like Samsung and LG the guys at Panasonic were keen to point out they can do it too but the question remains - why? Answers on a postcard please...
Also on show were some great sound solutions to make your telly sound as good as it looks and a multi-room sound system to rival Sonos. Please call in for a demo soon!
