What's this?

Sounds like everyone agrees they are basically the same...


so just get what fits your needs. For instance, look at how many HDMI ports there are and where they are located. Wall hung vs on a stand, make sure they work with your set-up. Of couse, get the largest 4k you can afford. And, use the remote in the store and see if you like it's Interface. See if the menu for the TV works how you would expect. If they are all basically the same internally, it will be these things that should set it apart for you.

The blue-ray player and home sound system I have had for over 10 years was bough with my TV on sale, and I DIDNT run everything with remotes and menus before buying. I HATE THE THING. I curse it very time I use it... and all because I didnt take the time to test out the functionality. Panasnic... shoulda stuck with sony.
