Panasonic TX-40CX400B review
Review: August 2015 | ||
![]() Rating: In a nutshell: The Panasonic TX-40CX400B offers a low-cost entry into the world of UHD (4K) television. With a smart appearance, essential Smart TV functionality, and mostly good picture quality, it's the one to choose if every penny counts, although arguably you might be better off choosing a non-UHD model at this screen size. |
Summary
This is the 40-inch version of the Viera 48CX400 we reviewed previously. Read our full review of the 48-inch Panasonic CX400 for a detailed discussion of this TV.
We're less convinced by the need to embrace Ultra High Definition at the 40-inch size, but if UHD is the way you want to go, the TX40CX400B is a good low-cost option to get there. 4K content is pin sharp on this screen, and we're impressed by the black levels and viewing angles too, especially considering the low price. The biggest issues are the relatively unsophisticated motion response of the screen, and the less-than-polished treatment of standard definition channels. But arguably these are less apparent on the 40-inch model than on the larger 48-inch version.
Apart from these nit-pickings, it's hard to argue with a UHD television at such a low price.
