PANASONIC TX 50DX750
Who’d have thought you could snap up a 50in 4K telly that’ll do HDR video for under a grand? A year ago, that was pretty much unthinkable, but now you can waltz in off the high street and snag one of these beauties.
LCD system’s sound
The DX750 might not have all the fancy flourishes of pricier TVS, and it doesn’t have that one-time holy grail of Panasonic telly tech, a plasma panel (it makes do with energy-friendly LCD instead). But in pretty much every other way, this is a bit of a bargain.
OK, so you still aren’t getting ultra-deep blacks here, but the DX750 isn’t far off. Pop on The Dark Knight and Batman doesn’t look as grey as a pavement for once – a real problem on some LCD TVS. HDR also works a treat. It’s not the night/day difference you get with UHD Premium TVS, but the key here is subtlety: you won’t get blinding lights and psychedelic contrast, but you will get really nice shading.
It’s a hard-hitter that ultimately comes up short against the best, but the DX750 is an impressive effort when you get a healthy chunk of change from £1000.
