Why 24fps is not enough for HDR movies

[Rasmus Larsen]

After reading your findings twice I simply cannot fathom ANY Award bring given to this TV

It's a good TV at a good price. That is what we take into consideration.

But I agree with you that Panasonic's US operations are poor at the moment. It seems that after plasma TVs were phased out, most retailer contracts were cancelled. I'm honestly not sure what is going on but they assure us that the 2015 TVs will be available in the US soon.

55CX700 has horizontal zones or vertical, this black level 0,04cd is from ANSI ? without any local dimming on ?

We did not spot any horizontal or vertical lines during tests. Yes, we always use ANSI patterns for contrast measurements. Local dimming was off.

I also took some measurements with local dimming on but there was no change on an ANSI pattern.

Were you able to determine whether this set utilizes any chroma subsampling?

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Chroma subsampling is used as a color compression method on players and streaming. Do you mean for 4K PC signals?

Seems like a very nice TV from Panasonic. Could you also test 4:4:4 chroma?

What would you say are the main selling points in favor of the CX800 series compared to this CX700? I am having hard time waiting for the release of CX800 in Europe.

From the review
"Unfortunately we do not yet have a PC in the testing room that can output 4K at 60Hz so we cannot confirm if the TV can reproduce full RGB 4:4:4 4K at 60Hz."

Sorry, we need to upgrade our hardware first.


I have seen the CX800 a couple of times already. It is a different beast. It has real local dimming and supports HDR. It also has a 10-bit panel.

I got the 50Cx700 and very happy with it still, colours are brilliant!
I was deciding between this and the CX802 as its called in the UK, but the other half wouldn't let me spend the extra for the 802
In the UK they don't include the smart remote in the box (I would imagine to cut costs) Do you know the model number for the remote in case I do want to get it in the future to make the most of firefox os?
Thanks

Any chance to find out input lag of 40" version, 40cx700? I'm in a specific situation and 42" is maximum for my setup.

I cant find it anywhere, maybe you can do it for me?

PS: Very good reviews, thanx for doing all this

i need a tv soon as my current tv died and im currently using my pc monitor as the main tv.
im considering on either getting the cx700a or the cx740a.
any suggestions? i know one is a va panel and the other is an ips, the ips (cx740a) has a bmr of 1000hz where as the va (cx700a) has a bmr of 800hz.

i will either get a 50" or 55" but most likely 50"

which one should i get?????

the reason im not looking at a cx800a is i cant get my hands on one and when the new 2016 line up becomes available for example the new dx900 ill move my current tv to the bedroom.

please help??? cx700 or cx740

also are any of these models 10bit or is that just for the cx800a?
