To compete with the fast-paced HDTV industry, Panasonic created the Life+ Screen line of TVs, which boast impressive features and the ability to use them without the TV remote. The TV comes in 50 to 85-inch screens, catering to those with deeper pockets and a wish for a large television. The screen is backlit LED with a 4K display. The 4K resolution is said to look as good, if not better, than the resolution on the well-known retired plasma TVs.
Included with the Life+ Screen TVs is a remote control that has a built-in microphone for the voice recognition service. It is small, and looks similar to a cell phone, and it has a few radio buttons for different available services. In addition, the TV uses facial recognition. With this service, it can keep profiles for each TV user.
Pros:
- Easy to use interface and ability to search for content across all apps
- Profiles for each user
- Uses the cloud to save apps and information
- Shares content
- Good color saturation and image quality
- Budget price for the features
- 120 Hz and 4K resolution
- Swipe and share content
- Many apps
Cons:
- Too few HDMI ports
- TV is clunky
- No gaming mode
- Bad sound quality
The bottom line is that this is a great budget 4K HDTV. It is not made for gaming, or anyone who plans to use the apps heavily. The Smart TV features work as well as any other TV; however, the price point puts this way below the competition. Therefore, expect some less-advanced features.
