Product Overview

Panasonic HX600 and HX700 4K smart TVs are a step up from the entry-level HX580, thanks to the addition of Dolby Atmos and Surround Sound processing. While the HX600 runs Panasonic's Smart TV operating system, the HX700 comes with Android TV and the versatility that it affords, including Chromecast built-in.
Beyond audio processing, the HX600 and HX700 are also slightly more sleek than the HX580, offering a smaller bezel all around.
Panasonic also markets the HX800, which adds local dimming and better image processing, and the flagship HX940, which further adds a 100Hz panel and the HXC Pro Intelligent Processor.

    Reviewers from trustedreviews have found the following***:
    Panasonic TX-50HX600 puts in a punchier performance with better colours and brighter, cleaner whites. Motion handling issues crop up here and there; the Morocco chase scene in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation shows some blurry edge definition around the motorbikes and scenery. Dolby Vision is a considerable boost over the set’s HDR10 abilities.

    Pros
    • Good picture quality
    • Dolby Vision and HDR10 support
    Cons
