Upon unboxing this Panasonic TV, the first thing that strikes you is the premium stainless steel finish – it’s sleek and stylish. Your first decision is deciding how to fix the TV to its pedestal; there are no less than four options for you, whether you want the feet central or on the edge of the TV itself, facing towards or away from you, you really are spoilt for choice! Panasonic call it a ‘switch design’, offering harmony for your lifestyle. With the added choice of 50”, 58” or 65” screen sizes to suit every home, you can be sure to get the right size screen and set-up to suit your room and your needs.
Setup – as I’d come to expect from Panasonic – is a simple task, with easy to follow instructions. The remote, as usual, is sublime; big numbers and everything laid out where you would expect it to be. You are walked through every aspect of the setup in step-by-step instructions, prompting you when needed. Having had Panasonic TVs for the last 8 years it’s great to see that they take the approach of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ as the layout is similar to what I have and even the remote bears a resemblance to what I’ve become accustomed to over the years and anyone replacing an older Panasonic could jump straight into the driving seat. It’s like having your local pub renovated; everything is equally familiar and new at the same time.
When you are setup and ready to go you are greeted with a generous spec list that a TV of a greater price would be proud to display….
Equipped with 4K and HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Panasonic’s very own super bright panel, the images are crisp and lifelike; you can immerse yourself in a world of colour and enjoy the latest movies in the most up-to-date resolution 4K. It really is a pleasure to watch this and any other sort of content through the TV.
To live with as an everyday TV it’s truly a very good all-rounder, sport and fast action movies are not an issue with its 1800hz processor, meaning all the action is smooth and silky with no judder or blurring present while the local dimming works away so you get true blacks and better contrast.
Connectivity isn’t a problem as, although there is no scart, there are no less than 4 hdmi inputs of which one is ARC (audio return compatible) meaning a soundbar can be connected easily and be operated from the same remote as the TV. There is an optical connection for anyone wanting to connect their existing equipment to it and plenty of USB inputs for any movies or photos that you might want to display on the TV.
For added convenience, the DX750 has a twin Freeview HD tuner. This is a very useful feature when you are torn between two of your favorite shows as you can watch one and record the other seamlessly, thus eliminating any disappointment or what-to-watch disagreements in the family.
It’s not all about the picture quality, the Panasonic is also a ‘smart’ TV; using Firefox operating system, navigating around is a pleasure and when it comes to catch up TV you’ll be hard pushed to beat this range. The feather in the Panasonics’ cap is Freeview Play, one simple app that includes the main catch up services including BBC iPlayer, ITV hub, all 4 and 5 on demand, not forgetting YouTube and Netflix. The Panasonic really is a competent all-rounder and to compliment all this tech, the Panasonic is run by a quad core processor so jumping between apps is seamless and precise.
