This is not a budget Panasonic tv and nor is it made in turkey. Check your facts before you comment!

Think you are confusing this with some of the entry level ones. This is a well reviewed TV.

I bought this yesterday from John Lewis for £649. They price matched to the Crompton Moore website as they are selling for £699 in store. Got the 5 year guarantee aswell with it so great price for a recommended UHDTV

Best I've seen so far is £749 in Bentalls, Kingston. I've been considering it too but I think paying extra for the CX700 might be worth thinking about..

John Lewis priced matched me to £629 if I collected from local store. Can't wait till Wednesday! :smiley:

Been considering this for some time but saw it instore at JL last week and was put off by the black bezel surround - made it look cheap looking. Another reason i've not bothered is that i own a Panasonic 40AS650B and I can see blurring around images in fast motion. To me the 680 version showed similar blurring. I have no need for any of the connectivity software due to having a very slow standalone satellite internet - so was going to plump for the Sony KD49X83 ~ £699 but on the case to look for better deal. Thoughts?

If you watch a lot of SD content, don't buy this

Where is best place for 55 version? Thanks

I'm going to get the 55" version of this TV I think. I'm not fussed about smart features though, as I have a dedicated media server for that. I wonder in that case, is there a better TV for the money that focuses on audio/picture?

Cheers OP. Another TV in the pot, which one to buy hmmmmm?

There's a new review of this TV that potential buyers may be interested in at:

I wonder if Richer Sounds would do a price match?

I'm looking for a 55 inch TV and I've seen the 55 inch version of this (the 55CX680) for £750. It seems like a good price based on the reviews of 50CX680. However, reviews of 55CX680 are a bit sparse and a bit of a mixed bag. So I'm just posting this question here in case anyone in the know can advise if there is a significant difference between the 50 and 55 (apart from the obvious 5 inches) that would make the 55 an inferior TV to the 50.

currys have the 50cx700B onsale for £749, this set is the same with 800mhz scanning and 3D

Why not from Rakuten with £40 off code (JANSALE10) and 5% points back.

Ah, yes. Amazon reviews....... The oracle of AV equipment.

John lewis decline price match due to the delivery charge. Stupid decision by JL as Im sure they would have earned still even with the price match

John Lewis will price match this instore I purchased one today at £629.

Great set after I followed the AVforums picture settings on YouTube.

why not us co-op as I posted. cheaper, better delivery service, 5 year warranty direct from manufacturer. now £5 less than I paid.

£644.99 at the Co-op

fantastic set very impressed by the firefox os

These TVs have had terrible reviews - check them out on amazon. A lot of them are refurbished models designed in Turkey

That's the 400 and below series. As you can see, this is the 600 series. Not made in Turkey. Not Vestel.

Some sets are made in Turkey, but I am not sure Turkey = bad anyway. Czech is where Panasonic assemble their own? (see AV forum thread below)
I'd probably go by reviews, more than country of origin. If they can make iPads in China...

Course you have, there are no bad reviews for this set on Amazon.

Which links for this TV? all reviews I have seen (on amazon and elsewhere) are very good for this television.

I've tempted by the 55" version. Just worried about how standard def will display as current plasma handles it well

​i checked my facts via Amazon reviews.

Code is FTV50 for £50 discount on TV's over £600 at co-op.
The stand is chrome and attaches via 8 cross head screws - screwdriver is not supplied. Very easy.

Just set mine up this morning. Seems excellent for the price. I paid 599.99 from CoOp. Listed at 649.99 but there is a £50 off voucher online. Free delivery also with a one hour time slot.

JL price matched a HiSense TV from this company earlier. So, this should also go through.

Had 2 price match from JL against this company both accepted.

Thanks for the stand dimensions...just waiting for the JL price match now!

Also, is the stand pre attached to the tv straight out the box?

Can any owners also give the actual stand dimensions to ensure it fits on my tv stand please.

Can any current owner confirm the colours, please? Is the surround and stand black of graphite / silver please?
Thanks

Crampton and Moore are based in Yorkshire and do offer an excellent service so why bother with JL.

Thanks buddy

What's this tv like for standard definition viewing?

Oops forgot this bit

If update is done correctly Sony TV is infinitely better, android with built in chrome cast. (Carry out updates with no hdmi's plugged in, just coax and Internet) Your changing to a 200hz screen and as more 4K comes available it may struggle on upscale.
And you may get a 5 year Sony warranty free if your tv is listed here!

I purchased this model from John Lewis a month ago for £699, and they price matched Crampton & Moore's £649, also ignoring the ~£12 delivery charge

Which Sony? Model number?

Will John Lewis price match?

I filled in their form online. Would solve most of my problems if they accepted.

Fantastic price, beats my deal :smile:
