Panasonic TX50MX650B Ultra high definition Television

Product Information

Panasonic's patented Hollywood Cinema eXperience technology is an AI processing tool that actively recreates the true colour and clarity of the original picture, giving you some excellent natural images in real-time. You'll see it featured in our round-up above of the best Panasonic TVs. What is Dolby Vision? The CX680B from Panasonic is an entry level Ultra HD 4K set with a number of features including Firefox OS smart TV and a high brightness VA panel. The CX680 is very similar to the recently reviewed CX700 in specifications with just a few slight changes design wise, and the CX680 is available from a number of retailers, whereas the CX700 is a Currys only model in the UK. The CX680B is available in 40-, 50- and 55-inch screens sizes and it's the middle size we have in for review. Large items (delivered by two people, such as appliances and furniture) can be returned using our Home Collection service. The whole smart experience is easy to use and has a nice graphical interface that the whole family will be able to get to grips with. You certainly don’t need to be any kind of expert to set everything up first time and it just all works in an easy to follow manner. The only thing still missing from the CX680 is Freeview Play which has had a few delays now and should be seeing the light in October 2015. We will test it out as soon as it is available.

For connections there are four HDMI inputs (one side, three rear) with input 2 supporting ARC for connection to an external sound system. Other inputs/outputs include two USBs, Ethernet, a Common Interface Plus, terrestrial and satellite antenna, RCA, PC Input/Audio, Headphone out and Digital Optical out. All very much what you’d expect. Dolby Atmos: immersive Dolby Atmos audio envelopes you in 3D sound, so you can feel like you’re in the best seat in the sports stadium, or at the very heart of the cinematic action.

Panasonic’s MX650B heightens your home entertainment with a superbly good picture, brilliantly immersive audio, and all the smart benefits of the Android platform. It combines scintillating 4K detail, rich contrast-boosting Dolby Vision HDR, and immersive 3D Dolby Atmos audio for a thrilling cinematic watch, right in your living room, and it’s excellent for gaming too with a dedicated Game Mode. Its Android-based smart system gives you access to a huge array of movies, shows, apps and games*, and you can control it and get help by voice with the Google Assistant built-in. Plus, with Chromecast compatibility, you can cast your Android phone or tablet to the big screen. Our first port of call is a 4K HDR Blu-ray of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2. It’s fast becoming a favourite thanks to its stunning colours and rapid action, and the Panasonic does a pretty good job with it. Connecting a smart hub TV to the internet and giving a brief demonstration of how to access the key apps The picture is powered by Panasonic’s 4K Colour Engine, with support for HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision– the latter included for more “vivid colours” as well as better contrast and brightness levels with compatible 4K discs and streaming services. With Dolby Vision, colour and brightness levels are changed dynamically for a more accurate and refined picture. If you’re a gamer you’ll be a little bit disappointed to discover that Game Mode is rather buried in the menus and doesn’t have a shortcut button, but also pleased to hear that we’ve measured input lag at a very impressive 26ms.
