    I just bought a 65 inch Panasonic OLED introduced at £4K mid 2018 for £1500 from Richer Sounds interest free for 10 months.

    It is excellent. Way better than my 55 inch LG OLED from 2016.

    Might be the best value for money I have ever experienced on electronic goods. Check the feedback for it on the website. Everyone is very happy.
    That looks excellent. I have a rule about not getting a new telly until the old telly breaks. My 2016 LG has done 2 years so probably another 8 years to go before I'm looking again. Lord knows what wonders they will have for me then.

    My other rule is that each new one has to be bigger than the old one.

    Unlike with music I'm not bothered by the absolute picture clarity and resolution. As long as I can see what's going on and I can hear what they are saying I'm good.

    This is in my office from the same sort of era as those Pioneers and the Fujitsus (I think). This is a Panasonic TH-50PF10 Plasma with 1920x1080 resolution and it still looks great fed with HD stuff.

    They don't manufacture the Panel, but Sony's picture processing makes the improvement.

    I would have bought one from Richer Sounds but it was 300 more and not reviewed as well by owners. I do like the way they use the screen for sound, though.

    I wouldn't have given Panasonic a look in but I just couldn't ignore the owner feedback. The OS is amazing and feature packed. Just brimming with features and good ones at that. They also work. Not a bug so far that I have noticed. I'll find one or two eventually I bet.

    Really impressive. Even the sound bar is good and it's included in the price. And colour accuracy is brilliant.

    I can't help thinking about getting a higher and higher quality spoon with which to eat S***.

    Unless you're a blackhead or spot fetishist.
