Poor choice in TV
I am on my 3rd TV of this model. The last two were replacements for the same fault. Lines develop and eventually we lose the whole screen. Is this a known fault for this TV?

All works exactly as expected. great TV!
Long time Sony user, this is first time I bought Panasonic. One of the main reasons was that I wanted adjustable pedestal feet, and Sony only has it in more expensive models. I am definitely not sorry that I bought Panasonic! Trivial to setup, the reception of all available channels is stable. Not sure what exactly "Hexa Chrome Drive" panel does, but the picture is uniform stable and with good colors rendering. Another marketing term "Adaptive Backlight Dimming" appears to be adjusting the picture brightness automatically - whatever it does, it...Read more
works, I am not complaining. There is plenty connectors for all possible equipment. It has various optional applications build in (smart TV), more then I need. However it does not use Android system, thus some Android apps are missing. Sound is sufficiently loud for my large room. Network connection and Netflix reception is perfect. After half a year of using it I am totally happy with it and the price I paid.

Excellent Smart TV! Easy to install, setup and use with excellent quality pic & sound
Easy to setup and install. I just needed to fix the legs, connect the aerial and power up. Auto-connected to my WiFi, and to load free TV. Operating instruction booklet is easy to follow. Picture quality and sound are excellent (no need for a sound bar). Netflix and YouTube load quick (I am on the NBN). Thanks Panasonic.... Another excellent TV. My previous Panasonic flatscreen still works after 10 years, but not a Smart TV. (I researched with Choice and ieatwords prior to purchase with both providing great reviews and comments).

Easy to use and good quality out of the box
Got the TV after 12 years using a Panasonic plasma TV. At the store I compared all top brands at this price range and while the Pana had the darkest screen I opt for it due to brand loyalty I guess and consistent UI.
Setting the TV was a breeze and the remote is the same as my 12 old plasma so no learning curve there.
The overall quality feels 'cheap' but I guess this is expected from a low end product. It's basically a large computer screen.
While full HD and 4K content are remarkable, standard HD is a bit smooshy but that's the same with most...Read more

Freeview does not work in rural NSW
I purchased this tv so that I could get freeview tv. I no longer wanted to hook my laptop to the tv to watch 7, 9 and 10 catchup (as I am a shift worker and I cannot watch tv when I'm at work). My husband and I read the descriptions of the TV and it clearly stated that you can get freeview with all the free to air chanels and catchups. It was a good price (on special at the time) so we went to our local electrical store and they too believed you could get freeview catchups. We purchased the tv and we could not get freeview for 7, 9 & 10 but...Read more
you can get sbs and abc. We contacted Panasonic and they too told us you should be able to get freeview and asked us for our postcode. That is when we were told that it is not available in our area. If they would have had that in the description there is no way we would have bought it. We have had to return to using the laptop to watch catch up. We tried to use the browser from the apps of the television and it did not work. It was constantly buffing the show. We have fast internet at our location but it doesn't work with viewing shows through the browser on the television. When speaking with the lady from panasonic, she advised that it's the postcode that's the problem. When watching netflix we have to have the volume upto 75 before we can hear it. We returned to the store we purchased the tv and noted that there are other tvs which allow you to get catchup applications for 7, 9 and 10. Not Panasonic. I asked for a refund due to false advertising and I cannot get a refund as the tv works it just doesn't provide what I bought it for. I wish I could get a refund.Purchased in January 2021 for $1,140.00.

Great TV, but........ could've been better
the 55" measured diagonally across the screen surface is bigger than my old 12yo Plasma but exceptionally lighter (thumbs up) makes you wonder whether it will last as long...…... I particularly wanted a new tv to get Netflix, and the ability to hook it up to my HDD Dual Tuner VCR was paramount.... older tvs with only one HDMI outlet can be such a PITA.
So....... removing from the box, connecting the legs was the hardest part ;) ..... hooking the associated cabling was easy and the initial set-up onscreen was as simple as,...... actually pair...Read more
ing it to the NBN modem was the niggly bit, its all done automatically for you as one option but.... the two components just didnt want to play ball so it required me to manually input the modem security code, and away we went, all good. The onscreen menu is complex enough to keep most geeks happy, LoL, it certainly is comprehensive.. and for the 'plug and play' layman its simple and straightforward to use without getting in over one's head. After the Plasma, I had to get used to the 'Adaptive Backlighting' by Panasonic, but all good after my initial shock while it sorted itself out... the only glitch so far that really irks me is the onscreen program guide... I absolutely hate it. On the Panasonic Dual Tuner VCR I have virtually the same OPG, it also has the option to use it in two formats... Portrait or Landscape (portrait- the channels across the top of page and you merely scroll down for the different shows and the screentimes, Landscape- the channels are listed down the page, and programs are listed on that line across the page with times set in blocks.... with various channels and their errant timekeeping, this means you have a staggered mess of programs on the page) My new Super Duper Television has the EPG in this same format, Landscape, :( .... with no option to change it. They dropped the ball with this one thing in my opinion, I am not the only one that will/ does hate this version... and I would've bought another brand just on this one sticking point if I knew.... shame Panasonic, shame.2 comments

Hi Chris, thank you for taking the time to provided detailed feedback on your new TV and the option you would like to see on a product moving forward with the EPG.
surely a simple software update would do the trick...…….. quite happy to receive it clipped out of the Panasonic HDD dual tuner program

Questionable quality
I purchased this tv late November 2018. Have to say I'm not happy with picture quality, very poor and does not have the crisp clear images I was led to believe despite trying every format.colour varies quite a lot Waiting for a response from customer service. Should have kept the old tv.

Far from perfect as a first smart TV
If you want to watch freeview, you can - as long as you only want to watch non-commercials (ABC & SBS). Maybe it is different in the major cities? Commercial Freeview is not available in Batemans Bay, out of the box. So I will need to purchase a wireless keyboard & mouse so that my mother can use the browser to watch 9Now TenPlay & 7Plus. Hey Panasonic, it is 2018 (nearly 2022). Get the Apps available and make the OS faster to navigate.
We were talked out of the Sony by the sales rep due to "lock up" issues with Ch7 in the Bay. Think I would h...Read more

Nothing to complain about. Great sound and great picture.
I bought this 55FX600 today, after a lightning surge destroyed my Panasonic 3D TV (and two DMR-BWT955GL) 2 days ago.
Yes, great sound and great picture, but note:
Sound: First up the sound was not that convincing, but I played with the settings: Maxed the bass and switched on Cinema surround. It's good now.
Picture: Seems to be the same with all new TVs: A totally unconvincing picture in standard mode.
In fact I have to wonder, if the standard mode is available for the sole purpose of crating a low energy consumption measurement, whil...Read more

Bargain Panasonic Big Screen action!
This Panasonic big screen 65 inch TV, the entry level 4K UHD FX600 series, proves that the Japanese brand still has what it takes to compete with the very best in the industry. It is a great TV in all respects. Firstly the design is very stable and the adjustable feet makes it very versatile for narrow or long cabinets. The all black monolithic frame design is actually Panasonic's best looking IMO, even better than the OLEDs. This is a very black and very reflective screen, however, so you may want to close the blinds a bit; the screen surface ...Read more
is so glossy it's practically a mirror. Picture quality is why you buy a television and this model is simply incredible: black depth, colour saturation, motion handling, you name it, this TV can do it superbly. This 600 series actually looked better in the shop than the higher 800 model; apparently this is something to do with this 65 inch 600 series having a VA panel rather than IPS, which is explains why the viewing angles are not the best, if one could nitpick...sound quality is acceptable but I have a Panasonic soundbar to match...Thank you, Panasonic, for such a great TV!!!2 comments

Terrible Distortion on Picture
5 weeks ago purchased this new 2018 model TV. From day one the picture was extremely poor on it ranging from multiple dark patches with any scene/device menu with a light or single colour, vertical grey bars running down the screen, any scenes involving fast motion (walking, running, sports) there are vertical white ghosting vertical lines through the picture. The colour is also not natural. Skin tones are often yellow and a green tinge on dark/night scenes to name a few. Have spent the past 5 weeks trying to sort out the colour and still can't...Read more
get it right not even with the factory reset and trying the various colour settings. Contacted the store purchased from regards the distortion not long after it as purchased and they contacted Panasonic as they agreed after looking at evidence photos that this TV has a very poor picture quality and it is not normal. I have also contacted Panasonic directly with my complaints only to be brushed off. Panasonic has had a very slow response rate and in general the worst customer service I have experienced. They have concluded that all the distortion on my unit is an "acceptable backlight uniformity". So by their standards it is OK to watch TV with lines, patches, bars, ghosting and unnatural colour. Generally this the TV picture is quite unwatchable most of the time as the distortion distracts from viewing and has been a complete waste of money. I have had analog TV's that have had a better picture than this unit. My family and I have been loyal Panasonic consumers for over 25 years and would not have looked twice at other brands on the market, hence went with Panasonic again this time when going to purchase a new TV and most electrical appliances in the home are Panasonic and we have found their products fantastic and last for years in the past (my last TV was a Panasonic Plasma and lasted 11 years until it died recently). After this experience with them my family and I will never buy another product from Panasonic again as they expect consumers to put up with products that produce a terrible picture quality after paying good money for them and say it is an acceptable picture and won't repair or offer us a refund/return and have also stated they will not assist any further. A very disappointing and nightmare of an experience.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Questions & Answers
My parents just moved from Thailand and brought their TV with them. Ignoring the fact they’ve had to buy a set top box to make sure the TV picks up Australian channels. My issue is that they can’t download any of the apps they’d like too. The so called “App Market” only has two options Aljezeera and the Autism channel.
We tried using the 9Now website but it says the browser is not supported.
How do I either fix the browser issue or correct the app market?
The Panasonic sales people told them that the TV would work worldwide hence why they bought it before returning.

Hi, sorry but each country's unit has been setup for that country, the tuners and the operational boards are unique to that area. They can continue to use the TV as a monitor, but they will be unable to access Australian content apps. They will need an external device to access apps.
