Product Overview

The JX850 is an affordable 4K LCD smart TV in Panasonic's 2021 lineup. It shares much of the same features with the higher-end JX940 but comes with more compromises.
In terms of image and audio processing, the JX850 offers the same set of HDR formats, including HDR10+ Adaptive, HLG, and Dolby Vision, as well as Dolby Atmos. However, its surround sound processing is downgraded to Cinema Surround.
Physically, the JX850's speakers are less powerful, and it loses an HDMI and a USB port. Its digital tuner also supports fewer formats.
Last but not least, the JX850 features Panasonic's Local Dimming Pro, which is an edge-lit dimming function. It is a small downgrade from the Local Dimming Pro Intelligent found in the JX940.
Alongside the JX850 and JX940, Panasonic also introduced the entry-level JX800 at CES 2021.
