Personally I have no hesitation recommending Panasonic, as long as you don’t need Netflix.
The only nuisance is, despite powering up and displaying a picture quite quickly, it takes a short while (maybe 10-15 seconds) before it starts responding to button pressed. I guess it’s just waiting for some background process to start up.
We’ve an LG upstairs which always performs ok, but the remote barely survived the warranty period before getting flakey. Despite disassembly and cleaning, now a mere 8 years old, hardly any of the buttons still work. Now limping by on a third party remote, not a perfect match, but good enough to get by. I have Never had an issue with Panasonic or Sony remotes.
If you go LG, and you plan on using the TV internal speakers, listen carefully to the sound before buying. Some LGs are ok, others are horrible, tinny, like listing to classical music on a 1960s pocket radio.
