TV upgrade 50-55"

OpenToSuggestions · 9 Jan 2016 at 19:33

Hey all.
I am thinking of buying a new TV to replace my aging LG 47lh3000 (£630 in June 2009).
The more I read reviews and searched the forum.

I care about:
SMART
Picture Quality
1080p

I do not care about:
3D
Curved Screen

Will go either way on:
4K

How would PANASONIC VIERA TX-50CS520B do as an upgrade?
Reviews suggest it is a fantastic budget TV.

I have seen it in store at Currys (with high contrast and 480p content) but how much of an upgrade would it be?

Thanks! Could you provide the exact model number? Is it the H6400?

Early impressions:
Upscaling not bad.
Lovely big screen (can't really count this as a plus as a 55" TV should be.....well 55").
Had to choose 'fit to size' for my living room PC as it majorly overscanned.
Plenty of 'SMART' applications.
Wired it directly to my router.

Anyone care to share some presets?

I feel it is very good for the price point.
