or maybe Panasonic make them on behalf of Vestel. I know years ago with the old Tube TV's Panasonic UK made them for other manufacturers to the manufacturers spec. This usually involved inferior components.

How exactly can it *look* like a Vestel rebadge? It’s a brilliant TV, and the build quality of the top-end Panasonic blows the socks off LG and Samsung

Search 58DX802B on hot deals will bring up a few posts about the model. Seems a good set and having 3d is a bonus if that's your thing.

Panasonic's top LCD model, it's a very good TV for the price.

You're right, this is their number 2 in the range, the 902 and 802 were the only tvs panasonic carried over from last years range to this year because they were great sets.
This is a great tv, stand is stupid though

Yeah, that was a better TV but it's now been discontinued in favour of the new 900 model, the EZ952 OLED.

No, it isn't the top model. That would be the DX902b which is about double this price and almost double the TV as well.

except for the OS :disappointed: really lets the set down with the firefox os & little to no app support. At least they came good & added the HDR firmware eventually

I stopped listening to opinions many many years ago - the ONLY opinion that matters is yours!
I bought a Samsung from JL last year ..... I went in, looked at all the TV's ... stood for a while in front of each and selected one which I thought the best, I then went away and returned 6 times to validate my first opinion.
I'm a yorkshireman so I waited until it went out of stock on line and then went into store and bought it off the floor - 55 inch smart and amazing picture, I haggled them down to around £300!! AND I got a display SONY Soundbar for an extra £100.
The thing I'm trying to get across is that YOUR eyes are better than any review or opinion on here .... then use your brain to get the very best deal ......

Although you are right on personal opinion that is not to say that they are are all set up in store exactly the same and that the set you picked was just perhaps was set up for your liking, maybe.

I’ve got this tv and it’s decent but the stand is crap

The stand looks like the worst design I have ever seen on a TV, what were they thinking when they designed it.

Both 802 and 902 are discontinued by fisher sound, I really think it’s a good price and the fact that JL have them in stock so you don’t have to buy the open box from richersounds for the same price, makes this a good deal. :raised_hand:
