Panasonic TX-40GXR700

Advantages: 1) I use it as a monitor 80% of the time and 20% for cinema. A good option for your money. The image is detailed and pleasant. 2) Rare size 40 ". As a monitor it is more convenient than 43". I would also like to try 31-39 "(32"), but there are very few TVs in this size. 3) Real 4K (some inexpensive models do RGBW), 4: 4: 4, fonts are perfect. 4) The sound is good. Didn't even set it up. But I really am not an expert here. 5) Some here in the reviews complain about the remote control, remote control glitches, settings and controls. Updated immediately via Wi-Fi to 3.040. Of the glitches, I just noticed the dynamic backlight, so far I’m watching when it is completely turned off and when it turns on again. Sony 2018 has a similar remote control and all TVs that I saw. Maybe I just haven't seen modern remotes and that's why I'm ok. By the way, Sony sometimes has a glitch that starts showing the connection characteristics, overlapping part of the screen. There is no such glitch here. Everything is stable

Disadvantages: 1) There is PWM (PWM). See photo. The truth is not very strong. The slow-motion video shows stripes in a reddish tint. There are no black stripes or complete flicker. The pencil test does not pass :( True, it is difficult with PWM now. I only managed to find a Sony model from inexpensive ones without it, and then it is for 35K and 43 ". Everyone else has something like PWM (Samsung, LG). In some models, PWM is straight with full blinking screen (the worst and most harmful option) or black stripes. 2) It seems the minimum backlight could have been made even less - in the evening in low light it is too bright, even with Night light 40% in Windows 10. 3) I had to tinker with the settings. I especially do not like the dynamic backlight - but it seems to be turned off by the settings, although it still works sometimes. I am looking for a way to get rid of it completely. Acid colors and orange faces are also treated with the settings. See Comment. 4) Glossy screen. Glare. 5) It looks like All the same, IPS is better than VA. I'll see, but it looks like the viewing angle if you sit like behind a monitor - distorts colors. When calibrating on a scale - sometimes it is enough to move your head and the scale marks will be visible, which would not be lo can be seen. And IPS Sony somehow out of the box without any special settings shows everything well. 6) A matte gray body would be better. The black gloss glitters and highlights the slightest dust.

Comment: So far, these settings seem to be optimal. It will be interesting to hear your ideas. Picture Mode: True Cinema.In Cinema and Normal, the difference is not visible at the same settings. Color: 45. In Normal, Cinema, however, sometimes there are still backlight jumps. So now I'm testing True Cinema mode. In it the colors are too washed out by 50. Therefore, Color: 55 Backlight: 0 - The lower the backlight, the less tired the eyes. Increase if the sun is bright. For normal daylight and evening light - 0 Contrast: 95 - Standard 100 weakly reproduces the white bars of the Brightness calibration scale: 3 - Standard 0 is not enough to see all the black bars on the Color scale: 55 - There is a feeling of too acid colors in Normal, Cinema, therefore lowered the standard 50 to 45. In True Cinema mode - the colors are too papery even by 50, so I increase it by 55 Tint: 0 Sharpness: 0 - When increasing, distortion appears around the fonts Color Temperature: Warm - More useful for eyes Vivid Color: Off Adaptive Backlight Control: Off Ambient Sensor: Off Noise Reduction: Off MPEG NR: Off Super Resolution: Off Dynamic Range Master: Off - not editable in this mode Intelligent Frame Creation: Medium - not editable in this mode Clear Motion: Off Black Expander: Min White Balance: Reset to Defaults Gamma: Reset to Defaults (Middle) Game Mode: On - increases the response speed as I understand it and removes processing Film Cadence Mode: Off - cannot be edited in this re Press 1080p Pure Direct: On - I think the analogue of the following setting. When watching a movie from a disc without it, there were also drops that interfere with 4K Pure Direct: On - it seems an important setting. Disables changing the backlight based on screen content. This effect distracts and interferes Setup / HDMI 2.0 Settings / Signal Format: 4K @ 60Hz 4: 4: 4/4: 2: 0 Setup / Other Settings / Power Save: On Windows 10 Scaling 133% 4K

Advantages: Realistic color reproduction. Excellent sound for a diagonal of 40. Purchased for the kitchen and watching satellite TV.

Disadvantages: 1. The inability to change the aspect ratio (see comment). 2. Glare glossy screen. 3. The TV does not have recording and timeshift functions.

Comment: 1. A strong average in terms of his performance. Information taken from an independent site: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/b22917ea. On this site, specifications and capabilities are listed in more detail. 2. I lower the mark for the fact that the "ASPECT" button disappeared on the remote control, which changes the screen format without long digging in the menu. In this TV model, when watching content from the built-in multimedia player, the screen format cannot be changed at all, even with deep digging in the settings menu. Because of this, almost 2/3 of films are shown with format distortion, i.e. the characters on the screen are eggheads. The "dampness" of the firmware is also evidenced by the fact that when you press the OPTION button on the remote control, a menu is displayed under the additional heading. picture settings, but in fact there are adjustments only for sound and subtitles. Technical support for TLF on the listed jambs did not help. We got off with a polite reply on duty. 3. The 40-inch model is sold as of the beginning of November 2019, mainly for 29,900 rubles. The red price of this TV is 23,000. For about this money, it was bought at a discount at the office. site.

Advantages: Liked something! First of all, the picture. I thought it was OLED. It turned out to be IPS. Really so black, and I have not seen depth on cheap TVs. In complete darkness, of course, the impression is slightly spoiled by comparison with the old Pioneer lx5090. The one is unsurpassed. But who has real plasma? The white color is not bad, almost without impurities. The glossy screen is a plus for the picture quality, but it can glare. Secondly, it is "Panasonic" simplicity and clarity. Set it up, figure it out intuitively and enjoy your favorite movie. But the settings here are just crap! Very sensitive Wi-Fi, of course 5G. Draws any heavy 4K files of any format from a terabyte hard drive. It seems to support all sorts of Internet crap. Children use applications and everything else, they say everything is super. The remote control is good old and familiar! Plastic, not from the premium line.

Disadvantages: I saw the flaws in the picture. Distortion in colors. Visible on the faces of the actors.Sometimes they are black and white, with orange cheeks, noses and lips. It stands out precisely in dark scenes. And while I noticed this in heavy 4K files. Let's see where the dog rummaged. Probably the costs of HDR and of course all LCD technology. Again, this effect is highly dependent on the viewing angle. Slight deviation from the perpendicular axis and colors float. Everything is great on dynamic scenes. Take a closer look. Attached a couple of photos. For some reason, they are not allowed. I will add more. All faces are covered with cadaveric spots with a deviation of more than 30 degrees or more, on any files and simple TV. So the comfortable viewing will be as close to the center and away from the screen as possible. It’s just fine with me, but my son, sitting close and at an angle, poked these features. In general, limited viewing angles.

Comment: Decent TV in a small room to watch even in the dark. Small flaws do not spoil the overall picture. I searched everything. No screen aspect change when playing from the built-in media player. Automatically fills the screen. Through HDMI, blu-ray is adequate. All in all, a great TV for movies. Looking straight ahead. That's the only way.

Advantages: Color rendering and design

Disadvantages: not convenient menu and smart

Comment: Stylish design and good calm color rendition, the figure pulls very cool

Advantages: We bought it three weeks ago, studying the reviews for a long time, wherever possible, which only exacerbated our rushing in search of a TV. At first we wanted a budget option within 10 tons, but then we decided that we needed to buy a good one for the kitchen, since I spend time in the kitchen a lot. Decided and bought this one! Not a second did not regret this choice) Many settings, everything was quickly adjusted for themselves, the picture is beautiful, the sound is gorgeous. The TV fits perfectly into the kitchen, admire the image quality. We liked everything .. You can always go online and see what your heart desires By the way, I found the Panasonic network very quickly, which also made me happy. I recommend this TV for those who have not yet made their choice.

Disadvantages: While everything suits us)

Comment: I read in reviews about the size of the remote control, but it does not bother us much. It is very sane and understandable, the "hint" button is convenient, where everything is chewed in great detail. We are happy with our choice)

Advantages: There are no comments on the main parameters of the TV: video, sound, Internet connection - everything is on the levels.

Disadvantages: When working in the built-in browser with a connected keyboard, I still did not understand how to switch the layout. Some specific embedded streaming videos on sites do not play.

Comment: I took it primarily because of the size: under the recess in my wall 32 inches is too small, 43 inches - the legs do not fit. This model has legs closer to the center, which also simplifies placement.

Advantages: Promotional price.

Disadvantages: Sometimes freezes and does not see the remote control

Comment: January 2020, the share price of 19600 immediately determined the choice of the TV. I bought it in the bedroom to replace the 11 year old panel, and here I got 4 k and a confident reception of wai fay. For a small room, what you need. Of course, I was surprised by a strange set of built-in applications, an inconvenient regular browser, and of course, after using the LG magic remote from a TV from another room, using this monster is unusual and not so convenient. Sometimes the TV set freezes and does not see the remote control. It dries up after turning off the plug from networks.
