Does these TVs with built in wifi not play streaming videos through normal wifi routers at home?
Request members to suggest options without the wifi also.
Any reviews for the Pansonic model?
These tvs can steam Youtube videos but imagine playing 480p videos buffering on 1 MBPS internet and playing 1080p videos is nothing but pain in ass it will require very fast internet and you know what is situation here in India.
IPS is overrated. Yes, It has larger viewing angle but It does have disadvantages like low contrast ratio,can't produce deep blacks.LG tvs produces good colors but it is nothing to do with IPS panel they comes with THX presets which are made by experts but that can be done with every tvs with info available over internet.
Main thing to watch for when buying tvs
1)1. Picture quality is not determined by the published specs
As a rule of thumb, the main purpose of a TV's specification sheet is to bombard you with confusing numbers in an attempt to get you to "step up" and buy the more expensive version. Just about the only worthwhile numbers are found under Inputs and Weight/Dimensions.
Contrast ratio is basically a lie , refresh rate (120Hz, 240Hz, 600Hz, etc.) is complex and ultimately subjective , seemingly related numbers like "CMR," "TruMotion," MotionFlow," SPS" and the rest are fake , viewing angles for LCD and LED-backlit LCD TVs are bunk, and LED does not mean a better picture (while we're at it, all HDMI cables are the same ).
A good picture is one that reproduces the incoming source as closely as possible without "improving" color, smoothness, or other characteristics.
Plasma TVs come closer to this ideal than LCDs, especially for viewers who aren't sitting in the sweet spot directly in front of the screen.
LCD TVs can get brighter, but plasmas are bright enough for all but the most sun-drenched rooms.
LED-backlit LCD TVs with local dimming, whether edge-lit or full-array, often outperform those without.
Screen uniformity is a problem for LCD TVs , but not for plasmas.
The ability to produce a deep shade of black -- which translates into high contrast -- is the most important ingredient in a good picture.
Color saturation, which is directly influenced by contrast/black level, is second-most important, followed by color accuracy.
In a bright room matte screens are the best overall at reducing reflections . The best glossy screens preserve black levels well.
Less important factors include video processing (120Hz, 240Hz, etc), maximum light output, and display resolution (1080p, 1080i and 720p).
Many people don't realize they're watching the Soap Opera Effect , and might like their TV's picture quality better if they turned it off.
Poor picture settings on a good TV will usually look worse than calibrated picture settings on a crappy TV.
Smart TV
Since you can connect a $50 Roku , $99 Apple TV, $150 Blu-ray player $200-$500 game console, or any number of other devices to make any TV "Smart" -- in the sense that you get access to Netflix, Amazon Instant, and the rest -- the "apps" on TVs are often redundant. That's why I want my dumb TV . All things being equal, I recommend an app-free model over its more expensive Smart brother. Things are rarely equal, however, and your next TV will likely have Smart apps whether you use them or not.
Thin styling
For better or for worse, a TV is a piece of furniture and the big screens can dominate a room even when turned off. That's why TV makers, led by Samsung again, have concentrated on making their sets thinner and less intrusive. The best examples have frames so thin they look like almost all picture, and when seen from the side, or hung on a wall, the thin cabinets almost disappear. Unfortunately, thin LED-backlit LCDs can also introduce uniformity problems in my experience.
To buy a tv just audition it yourself trust your ears and eyes buy what ever you like.plz don't trust shopkeeper they will try sell expensive models.
Hope this will help you get your dream tv.
