Panasonic’s new TC-50CX600U offers brilliant colors, an ultra bright screen, and, at $900 (at time of publishing) for a 50-inch screen, represents one of the most affordable 4K UHD TVs on the market. However, those looking for a quality performance in...

Solid connectivity features ; Surprisingly good color reproduction ; Good contrast level ; Great price ; Nice black levels ; Great SD/HD upscaling

Brightness in cd/m2 could be better ; Only 3 HDMI 2.0 ports ; No Panasonic THX certification or HDR and QD tech

For anyone looking for a solid, reliable middle of the road 4K TV that’s very affordable, the TC-55CX650U is one of the better choices on the market right now. This a good 4K TV that surprises with the quality of some of its features.

In predecessor 4K Ultra HD models, expanding the color space created a major drop in light emission efficiency. However, by developing a new phosphor with RGB spectral characteristics, Panasonic has achieved dramatic energy savings of more than 40% in...

The Panasonic TX-40CX680B is the 40-inch version of the 50-inch TX-50CX680B we reviewed in full detail earlier.

As good as the CX680B undoubtedly is, it's hard not to compare it with the CX700B, especially since there's hardly any difference in the price of the two models.

Superb contrast and colour for the money ; Attractive, easy-to-use smart system ; Lots of video streaming and catch-up TV app support

Motion handling could be better ; The screen's a bit reflective ; Minor backlight flaws if you're not careful with setup

Colours & black levels ; 4K detail ; Customisable Firefox OS ; Freeview Play incoming

Soft standard-def ; Firefox OS lacks content ; Three HDMI ; No 3D

4K at 40-inches? This nicely priced LED with Firefox OS makes use of its eight million pixels by boosting black levels, colour and upscaling prowess to make everything save for standard definition look sumptuous. With Freeview Play incoming, it's an...

Strong 4K performance ; Upscales 1080p content well ; Bright, punchy colours ; Smooth motion ; Speedy, user-friendly interface

Standard-definition picture not great ; Freeview Play not available yet

A great start for Panasonic’s 2015 TVs, and a good advert for small 4K screens

Excellent out-of-the-box preset with True Cinema ; Excellent colour reproduction ; Superb greyscale tracking ; Good black levels and contrast from VA panel ; Good motion ; Good lag input result ; Superb value for money

Some clouding and halos when viewed in completely dark surroundings ; Netflix button on the remote easy to press accidentally ; Stay away from other picture presets

Given that we have only reviewed a couple of HDTVs so far this year gives you an idea of where the market is heading for TVs. The higher priced 4K HDR capable sets certainly dominate the forums chat and there is no surprise in that; our members are...
