DickDastardly:
Does the Panasonic have optical out for integration into my 5.1 audio system? LAN input too??
I think the 840 will play 3D?
I am also in the process of getting a UHD TV, and was considering buying the accompanying 3D 4k upscaling DVD player, at the time i was thinking that i would need to buy say a Magic TV for freeview recording, and a 3D, 4K upscaling DVD player for my Blu Ray, 3D and 4K content. I think this Panasonic unit may tick all of those boxes, 3D, Ultra HD, Freeview and able to record stuff and series link them etc?
Am i thinking about this right?
Yes, yes (and WiFi built in), yes, yes and yes.
