Panasonic Deals & Offers

sold out now

< 600 range I think.

Seen this mentioned a few times, how do you know if its a rebadged vestel or a Panasonic, the model numbers are the same format for all the sets, how do you make the distinction?

It is. Still a great price for a 55" though, and Panasonic Outlet have a good reputation for their refurbished sets.

I'm pretty sure this is a Vestel TV rebadged to look like a Panasonic one. I am not judging the deal, just making this obvious early on.

i would rather get the 58 inch hitachi from argos than this - few people I know have it and there are no complaints only positive reviews/feedback both budget tvs anyway

Very likely it will be as it’s a budget telly.

Got this television the other week for £253 using an eBay discount code from the Hughes Direct store. It was easy to set and the build quality was excellent. Definitely rivals the cheap television brands out there in this price range so I would recommend a purchase. This is an ideal tv for a bedroom or extra in the house. I wouldn’t buy it expecting the picture quality of a £1000 tv but it’s good, has a small selection of apps including Netflix, Prime etc.

I believe range < 600 are Vestel.

Has anyone tried it is it any good for movies and gaming? Thanks

...I won't buy direct from Panasonic again....because I'm pretty sure they knew these were broke...It's probably an insurance job....with us as the patsy's...

...yes...I got the same deal. I was tempted but I didn't want to take the risk again....the only problem was...I'd sold my TV on FB yesterday...to make room....so I bought a refurb from Currys....but it cost me an extra £100. Nothing in the scheme of things I guess....but I don't like my bargains to fail lol!

They said other alternative would be to pay 50 pound more of refund , good way of ripping people off .. makes me think what a waste of my time

I cannot see the mic.

Does anyone know how much sound leakage is there from hothead?

Got these the last time this offer was running. Nice headphones, use them with an Aptx-LL Bluetooth transmitter to watch TV at night.

OOS

Considered posting this but the saving isn't big enough considering only 1 year warranty on oled TV

SOLD OUT

Sorry auto correct!

Gutted I missed out. Nearly bought the 550B thats been floating around for £260 but wanted the 700 range.

"e" asily missed.

why is the Sonos keyword tagged with this deal? another false alert

Bought - thanks for posting.

I was under the impression this camera had a small sensor, the same as you would find in a high end phone now a days, I think the only advantage of this over a good phone now a days is the optical zoom, the phones that are available now have far more processing power, added to that my camera phone has a 1.5 aperture to allow more light in, what is the widest this lens opens to?

Btw took this on my mate 20 pro

Now tell me , do you think; the earth is a flat disk :p I guess those that do have never seen the night sky.

Maybe. The downside with Philips TVs is usually the software. Samsung sell 58" TVs as well, also probably the same panel.

Good try troll, pity your wrong.

Maybe their quality control is better than Philips?

Nope. Not a Vestel. This is a proper Panny.

Probably Vestel or Chinese. None of the big brands make screens anymore for the consumer market. For the money, this is hard to beat. Cant complain at this price. For extra smart TV check out a firestick or Roku etc.

I've been fooled by the 'Panasonic UK outlet' name so I ordered the camcorder described as 'like new'. Zoom not working, SD card not recognised. Ordered TV for my friend, what an embarrassment, couldn't even switch it on. Blu-Ray player, problem with reading discs, hit and miss. The rest of 'testimonials' are in the eBay comments. It's not Panasonic per se. It's some cr***y 'friend of a friend' franchise working under the name of a very recognisable brand. But for me it's just a skip, electro rubbish enterprise which is trying to sell whatever they refurbish (well, big word for them) and make a huge profit. I've worked few years in IT business and it was the same with laptops. Some of the players are legit, but some just buy the container of cr*p and trying to sell it all and at all costs.

Some specifics would help to understand what was so rubbish?

It's not Panasonic UK, it's Panasonic 'Outlet', totally different ServiceCare company working under Panasonic brand, sth like franchise. I haven't had any luck with this store, ordered few things, looked like great deals but they were simply rubbish. Maybe it's just me, just saying.

Ughhh, this entire time I'd linked to the wrong page on the 'new' cameras. Have fixed it.

Agree, the OMD-EM10 is a great camera and glass isn't as expensive as with the Fuji X-mount cameras.

Gave an old Samsung es55 camera to my parents 10 years ago and image quality looks better in my old eyes... :D

Taken from https://www.dpreview.com/samples/6893880493/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs60-real-world-samples-and-studio-comparison I downloaded the original file link around 7mb.

Blimey. That is grainy. I think my 10 year old Lumix G2 performs better than that. Though maybe not in low light, to be fair.

Better to supply links to images. Can’t tell from your sample, this site displays a lower resolution image of what you upload. But yes, looks a mess, though the RAW version perhaps less so.

Was thinking of getting this but a few review sites mentioned poor images,managed to downloaded a few full size and looks a grainy mess so decided not to bother...

I get your point and for many (most?) it would be true, but there is a quite visible difference in picture and sound quality, especially over Netflix and Amazon which are low bitrate and heavily compressed. I would say UHD disks have a noticeable 'wow factor' over and above streamed content. I watch lots of content on streaming apps but do prefer to rent/buy disks. Also there are barely any movies on Amazon and Netflix with Atmos sound, and few with Dolby Vision.

I used the One X too. Great all round machine but this is better.

Thanks for the comments. I've been considering getting a 4k player after I get a new amp and wondered if to save up for the UB9000. I have xbox x at mo for 4k.

I completely agree. The reviews say the same. Clearly Panasonic would like people to think it is a better player and pay the extra but HDMI output and quality are identical. I don’t care about the metal case or analogue audio outputs and I doubt many people need them or use them.

The difference with the UB9000 is that it has a metal case, fancier remote and a load of high quality analogue audio circuitry and outputs. I think the menus/interface are also a little more modern. The image processing is identical as the hardware is the same so if you are using HDMI outputs to a TV/home cinema, there is no real need to get the UB9000.

We've got a 900w Panasonic (not sure of the model number but it looks similar) and it's a proper work horse. Never let us down.

I wouldn't buy a box opened or damaged box. I got the combi oven version which had a massive dent above the control panel. It went back straight away.

I bought one of these and it blew up not recommended

OOS :(

This arrived today and was completely brand new and unopened. Everything was sealed in original packaging so realy got a bargain here Thanks

Mr sweet I decided to wait for a good Philips ambilight deal. Makes sense considering I have the setup in the living room. Want a proper good deal, nothing on eBay now with 20 percent. Max budget 400 but cheaper the better Do you think it’s better to fire now on that Currys deal or wait, I’m in no rush. If another deal comes up that is unbeatable I can move away from Philips. Think I can wait a month or two max

If you want the bigger screen size, HiSense are certainly good bang for buck and that's a real bargain for that size! The OS is normally pretty nippy, too, and covers many of the mainstream apps. VA panel will give good black levels etc... this screen is of course best viewed front on, as viewing from wide angles not brilliant (but guessing for your planned usage won't be a problem). If in doubt take a punt, as you know Costco provide an exceptional returns policy on tvs if you're not 100% happy with it.

Mr Sweet What do you think of this one ? I do have the card so it includes shipping Hisense 58A7100FTUK 58 https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hisense-58a7100ftuk-58-inch-4k-ultra-hd-smart-tv-costco-3469767

Awesome looks good. Just test it out with whatever TV you end up using for a bit before entering heavy poker sessions, to make sure the connection is nice and stable for you. As you're not trying to cast stuff with lots of frames per second (like a video game) hopefully it will do the job perfectly. Fingers crossed will save having a trailing hdmi cable (y)
