Manual of product TH-42PW4EX
Editorial note
The Panasonic TH-42PW4EX stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) and LED display technology, providing an immersive visual experience. Its modern and sleek design, combined with VESA mounting options, makes it easy to integrate into various living spaces. Additionally, its annual energy consumption of 88 kWh helps reduce the impact on electricity bills, making it an economically reasonable choice. However, the product has some areas for improvement. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to applications and online streaming services, which may disappoint some users. Furthermore, the absence of 3D compatibility and the LED technology, while of good quality, may lack contrast compared to OLED or Mini-LED screens. Finally, its weight of 13 kg can make installation and transport difficult, especially for one person. In summary, the Panasonic TH-42PW4EX offers an overall positive user experience with an attractive and energy-efficient design, but it could benefit from more modern features to compete with other models on the market.Score details
