I was invited by Panasonic to attend the preview of their new Panasonic Viera LED TV range but sadly through scheduling changes I couldn’t make it. So here is what I missed…
What is 4K?
Well that’s the start of it really, what is 4K? Basically you will see four times as many pixels on your screen so you will see even more of the fine detail. So your picture quality will be even more awesome, well that can’t be bad can it? The WT600 offers access to a wide range of 4K content to make the most of its screen innovations, allowing users to dramatically expand their 4K experience with not only video content, but also groundbreaking games, internet content, and their photos, all in equally unbeatable 4K quality.
I’m not the most techy minded of people, I don’t really get into all the big techy words but I know what I like and that’s why in a TV show centre in a store I normally head to the biggest TV there and “ooh” at it. Isn’t it shiny and pretty? Practicalities of where the said TV would fit in our house and how it would dwarf our furniture do not even cross my mind. I then take a look at the price and almost faint. “Ok maybe something smaller”. A girl can dream.

My main issue in today’s current economic climate is how many people are really likely to part with £5,500 for the WT600B model. Yes, that’s right. Just £5.5k for a TV that gives you 4K resolution, you do the math. I mentioned above that I do tend to go to the biggest TV in a store and once my immediate pangs of shiny and pretty are gone, the practicality sets in – who has a home big enough for a 65 inch TV?
Still, it’s nice to dream.
