Amazon shoppers looking to kick start 2025 with a TV upgrade can bag a 4K Ultra HD model for a little over £300
Amazon has kicked off 2025 with a price drop on a ‘mega’ Panasonic 4K smart TV as part of the January sale. The 50” Panasonic 4K Ultra HD smart TV is now on offer at £309, saving £40.99 from the usual £349.99.
But if you’re in the market for a larger TV, it’s worth considering the 55” model for £347.73. Each model of the 4K LED TV boasts HDR support, including HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG, meaning it displays more true to life colours, as well as higher contrast and brightness levels with compatible content.
It also features built-in speakers powered by Dolby Atmos sound, which provide a more immersive experience perfect for movie night. With the Panasonic, there’s access to countless films and TV shows on streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video via WiFi, as well as free content from YouTube or catch-up TV on BBC iPlayer.

The smart TV is ideal for gamers thanks to its Auto Low Latency Mode, which eliminates lag for smoother gaming as the on-screen action reacts instantly to input commands. There’s also the option of voice control, with the Panasonic able to be controlled hands-free with both Google Home and Alexa.
The 50” Panasonic 4K Ultra HD smart TV has earned a 4-star rating after 340 Amazon reviews, 256 of which are four or five stars. Shoppers have hailed the TV’s ‘fantastic’ picture quality and said it’s ‘great’ for the price.
One happy customer said: “Absolutely mega. Picture quality is amazing once out of eco mode, sound is clear and concise and the set up was an absolute doddle. I have had Panasonics before so know how good they are and this is no exception. Remote control is laid out well and easy to manoeuvre. Menu is easy to follow. Comes with freeview/satellite etc as you would expect and also Alexa and Google connectivity. For this price point and what you get it’s an absolute star of a TV. Only extra set up is to attach the legs for the stand which is straight forward enough.”
Another said: “Such a fantastic picture. We were highly delighted after installing this TV. The video is amazing. So clear and vibrant without appearing to be over the top. I had trouble finding some of the menus on the remote but that did not detract from the overall experience. Sound is also clear and easy to tweak if you desire. Highly recommended.”
A third satisfied shopper said: “Decent quality TV. Was everything I hoped for and expected. Picture quality is very good even when upscaling SD or HD and watching 4K video streams is top drawer. Takes a while to tweak the picture to get it right as there are very many options but would recommend getting away from the defaults very quickly and start from switching to Cinema mode which, in itself, is close to perfection. Remote takes time to master – as all new remotes do – but all in all a great TV for a superb price.”
However, despite leaving a glowing five-star review, one user noted some flaws in the Panasonic’s software, writing: “If the TV is unplugged, you will need to connect to internet again. Alexa integration isn’t seamless. Even after integrating, it doesn’t seem to work well with my Echo speakers.”
Elsewhere, Sky is continuing to offer its Sky Glass plans at a reduced price, with the provider’s own 4K smart TV with a TV and Netflix bundle now available from £29 when spreading the cost, down from £33. As well as a QLED smart TV, Sky Glass comes with more than 100 channels like Sky Atlantic, plus subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+.
