PANASONIC VIERA TX55CX680B 55 inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV Freeview Play

With full 4K compatibility and a more powerful operating system, the Panasonic TX55CX680B has significantly raised its game.

4K Ultra HD TV

Boasting an UHD (Ultra High Definition) 4K screen resolution, the Panasonic TX55CX680B demonstrates astonishing levels of detail. This resolution is four times greater than the more conventional 1920 x 1080 Full HD TVs and it's a difference you'll really notice. This CX680 model is also compatible with the format required for streaming Netflix 4K, for 4K entertainment straight away.

Local dimming for superb realism

In addition to 4K, the Panasonic TX55CX680B offers local dimming for even greater picture precision. This works with all sources and screen resolutions, ensuring you get the most natural picture possible. Local Dimming reduces backlighting behind dark areas of the image, giving inky blacks contrasting strongly with brighter areas, for outstanding realism.

Studio Master Colour and 200Hz BMR for a compelling picture

Using Wide Colour Phosphor Technology, Studio Master Colour offers a naturally coloured palette with excellent subtle shades. Also standard is 200Hz BMR (Backlight Motion Rate). This means that when watching action movies or sport, the TX55CX680B has the speed and clarity to keep up with the action without motion blur.

Freeview Play for easy access to catch up TV

The Panasonic TX55CX680B is one of the first TVs to feature Freeview Play. This combines catch-up TV, on-demand services and live television to make watching what you want, when you want as easy as possible. It's free and compatible with existing broadband services, while BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4 and Demand 5 are available without having to open specific applications, giving effortless scroll-back TV (requires broadband Internet connection with a minimum speed of 2Mbps).

My Home Screen 2.0, by FirefoxOS via a Quad-Core processor

Another great feature with the TX55CX680B is its operating system. My Home Screen 2.0 powered by Firefox OS offers a single 'gateway' to all TV channels, apps and connected devices. This makes navigating the vast array of content far easier than with other smart TVs and, thanks to the powerful new quad-core processor, it's fast too.

My Stream and Voice Assistant

My Stream learns the type of programmes and content you enjoy, from multiple sources, and then makes personalised recommendations. Voice Assistant means you simply have to speak into the controller to bring up content and search results.

The Smart choice

In terms of smart TV functionality, the TX55CX680B comes with plenty of options. A wide range of web apps is complemented by a full web browser. DLNA-certified streaming makes it easy to transfer music and video files to the TV. Also standard is Swipe and Share functionality, which lets you use the Panasonic VIERA 2 app on your smartphone or tablet for streaming pictures, videos and music straight to the TV - no cables required.

Spacious sound

In addition to offering a superb picture quality, the Panasonic TX55CX680B also offers good sound quality. The built-in 20W amplifier provides a full-bodied sound. VR-Audio True Surround is also on hand to produce a more spacious, surround sound effect. There are also both analogue (via headphones) and optical digital audio outputs, allowing you to easily improve the sound quality via a home cinema system or soundbar/base.

Great value 4K TV with one of the finest smart operating systems about; the Panasonic TX55CX680B is one of the best at its price.
