While you have to be careful how you set it up, and while it would ideally go brighter with high dynamic range content, the 65EX750’s backlight uniformity is impressive enough to potentially win the hearts of the many serious AV fans who can’t afford a 65-inch OLED TV. With Panasonic’s EZ952 and EZ1002 OLED TVs doing sterling work at the top of the brand’s 2017 TV range, we here turn our attention to its most premium LCD offering: The innovative TX-65EX750. The 65EX750 is a striking looking TV.Its gleaming silver frame and cross-shaped desktop stand look impressively metallic and high end. What’s more, unusually in today’s TV market, the screen can be rotated left or right on its short pole mount. If you choose one of the smaller, lighter models in the EX750 range you can also choose between two different height positions on the pole mount. The 65EX750’s connections are as you’d hope on a high-end TV in 2017.Which is to say they include four HDMIs, three USBs and the usual wired and wireless network connections. The network connections support playback of multimedia files stored on DLNA-capable devices, as well as access to Panasonic’s proprietary ‘walled garden’ of online services. Design TL;DR: The 65EX750’s metallic finish and rotating stand mount make it look both suitably premium and much lighter than it actually is.

There are plenty of useful apps to get your teeth into, too.Amazon and Netflix are both present and correct, and both support 4K and HDR streams. The main UK terrestrial broadcast catch-up TV services are also covered.In fact, they’re incorporated into a Freeview Play app, so that you can search for shows you may have missed via a handy electronic programme guide that scrolls back in time as well as forwards. Smart features TL;DR: A simple, graphically rich structure combines with easy customisation and a sensible focus on video apps to make the 65EX750’s smart features exceptionally easy to use. Tucked away inside the 65EX750 are a couple of significant features that help it deliver an excellent performance with HD, standard dynamic range sources. First, there’s the set’s Studio Master HCX2 video processing.This is essentially the same new video processor used in Panasonic’s latest OLED TVs, right down to its use of a professional-grade 3D Look Up Table system for colour reproduction. Tuned at Panasonic’s Hollywood Labs, HCX2 does a quite lovely job of delivering all the subtleties of colour tone - even in dark parts of the picture - that help sort the wheat from the chaff where SDR picture quality is concerned. Pictures look sharp and clean, too, thanks to the prowess of Panasonic’s upscaling processing. Also, while its motio
