I tested Panasonic's new affordable LED TV model - here's my brutally honest buying advice
Briefly

The Panasonic 2025 W70B Fire TV is a lightweight budget TV that is easy to set up, taking less than 15 minutes. Its portability may appeal to some users. However, the TV feels insubstantial and exhibits performance issues, such as slow startup times and lengthy update downloads. Each power on takes several seconds to load, and there have been instances where the TV freezes, necessitating a restart. Overall, the W70B presents various challenges despite its convenient features.
The W70B's feathery heft feels like a toy or prop, hinting at some of its shortcomings in performance and functionality.
Each time I powered on the W70B, it took several seconds to present a workable screen, which is frustrating in today’s fast-paced environment.
The TV needed to download updates and after waiting a long time, it froze, requiring me to unplug the unit to restart.
