I've not experience the interface on the GX700, but I thought they had the same 'My Home Screen' interface as the OLED range? I find 'My Home Screen 4.0' on my GX950b to be very intuitive and user friendly and I really like Freeview Play. I much prefer Panasonic's 'My Home Screen' to Samsung's 2019 interface which keeps promoting (advertising) content from the Samsung store, in a very annoying way.

Can anyone confirm if the HX940 leans back on the stand?
I didn't even notice it did until you posted the picture and then checked . It's the slightest of tilts backwards, a couple of degrees if thatLooks like it (slightly) does, from the stock photo. Couple of coasters would sort that
I was also thinking of going for older/cheper GX series but new series HX is calibrated and I think it's worth because of this going to new HX series.
On products site, on HDTV test, on site reviews even those from this topic. There were little changes after manual calibration as I have read in reviews.Where are you getting the HX is calibrated from? Also, if you're not watching any 4k blu-rays and are gaming at 1080p, is there any point getting a 4K TV right now?
Right, you're talking about how close the standard picture formats are to a calibrated image...gotcha. If you're not gaming in 4K, wouldn't you be better looking for a TV that supported 1440p out of the box instead?On products site, on HDTV test, on site reviews even those from this topic.

e.g. read from this topic:
Review: Panasonic TX-55HX940 (HX940 series) LCD LED TV
Review: The Panasonic TX-55HX940 is their best LCD model with local dimming Dolby Vision and HDR10 +, it certainly seems well equipped.allhomecinema.com
Maybe I wrote it wrong "tuned" not calibrated but the effects are really good. GX series has a lot of color errors in comparision. In other words out of the box color/reproduction accuracy is way better on HX then on GX thats what I meant after reading reviews.
I ocasionally run some games at 4k but most 1080p. I game at 1080p cause 4k is to demanding for my machine- I mean PC 4k not console upscaller sh*tty "4k" I have to get another TV and there are no FHD ones available so...
Yes that's what I mean about the picture.Right, you're talking about how close the standard picture formats are to a calibrated image...gotcha. If you're not gaming in 4K, wouldn't you be better looking for a TV that supported 1440p out of the box instead?
Badger Mushroom about that tilt it really doesnt bother you I wonder if it won't me... It's strange looks like the legs are maybe designed badly... I haven't meet a tilt in any TV. Also I saw your photos and you have only 43 with quite a distance there you didn't wanted to go with bigger one?
I didn't even notice the tilt until someone posted a picture, it's so minimal as to be imperceivable. As for the size, I went with 43" for a couple of reasons. One was that we have an open plan living / dining room, and I didn't want the TV to dominate the space. Coming from a 32", 43 was the perfect size. I've also got a projector that I can set up if I want something bigger, that will do around 70" in the space I've got.
It's not really glossy at all, I'm guessing you mean for reflections and such? If you look back through the thread I've posted quite a few pictures; there is screen reflection but the matte stlye finish combats this well.Can you tell if the screen on your HX940E is glossy?
You know... I don't think it's worth for me and there are couple of reasons why. One reason why im not using res higher then 1080p is the distance. I like to be rather far away from the TV and when I Have played in 4k I don't see the difference.. yes I see it when I will stand next to the TV but from my distance it's no And yes I was thinking of going bigger TV but 65 would be to high for my head position and I don't want to rearange my room. Besides on TV I play mostly relaxing games, coop ones etc. those games are often even in 720p cause graphics is not most important there but the "fun" is I also like mostly older games because the new one especially on "consoles" don;t intrest me/they bore me with that arrow pointing you to just go to next "target".. brainless.. I also don't like the UI/text size of new games it's just to tiny.. For me the consoles era has ended in ps2-ps3 era, games on PS2 were made that you could have just 32inch TV and see everything clearly from 3m, exception is Nintendo cause they make great real "console-type" with oldschool UI games. As for gaming >1080p I have monitor's for this purpose but I still on it prefer 1080p/144hz then 4k/60hz as for PC gaming..
As for movies I can't watch anything in HDR because it's just too bright for me I couldn't get to the point where the effect would be there and the backlight would suit my eyes. For example in my home's SONY TV I have to use backlight on 4/50 to be able to watch it in SDR... BUT I might change in the future to a 4k blu ray player.
As you see the subject is very wide for me and I could write a lot more here about it.
Back to the topic... I would like Panasonic cause we have one and I like couple things on it which first would be the picture is very gentle/soft I also like the colors more then on other TVs, I really like the menus and that it work fast for e.g. on our SONY that android is sluggish as hell... I also like that I can turn on light sensor on for my TV preset picture but turn off for blu ray player or for HDMI where PC is connected (for example on SONY you can turn on sensor or turn it off BUT it will work on any presets/source or it will be turned off everywhere completely..) I also like the remote and stylish of Panas. You mentioned Samsung what I don;t like on them is oversaturated colors and the "punchy" effect and that in game mode they drop from PWM 960hz to 120hz which is too low for me (I saw on rtings).
Regarding my concerns I have couple of questions I will be aiming at 55/58 size:
1. HX940E vs HX830E is it worth going XE940E (IPS panel) vs HX830E(VA)? Ofc I have read about that inteligent procesor/same as in OLEDs and Local Dimming Pro and 100hz panel on HX940E. It's good that it has 100hz panel but as someone said it won't accept for example 1080p/120hz.
Im thinking good that I could use 100hz panel in TV/movies watching only with using soap opera effects add on on TV? (and as I said I don;t like that)
Won't the HX830E be better by native much higher contrast ratio?
2. Out of the box accuracy for HX830E I couldn't find much info about it in reviews? I could assume that it's as good as in reviews of HX940E cause Panasonic claims that all TVs have been "tuned by Holywood specialist" but maybe someone has an info about it regarding HX830E?

The model line up for the UK is different to Europe...........
........HX940 panels are edge lit IPS, except the 75" which is VA
Panels feature 100 Hz / 120 Hz (Double) refresh to reduce flicker
skyform
Thanks for the info about the SONY.
It's strange they even did that tilt.. wonder if it's on purpose or the feet aren;t properly designed ? Does your TV wobble or is stable?
What's the source of this? Im really intrested HOW it can reduce flicker by being 100/120hz on TV?
Because for example if you have 120hz panel and it will work native with this refresh rate in chosen content for example PC game at 120hz then you have reduced flicker, yes.
BUT in a TV how? TV and blu ray movies are at xxxx/60hz signal and this TV don't support xxxx/120hz singnals so HOW? Besides 120hz signal you can only take advantage of 120hz by using TVs soap-opera options that's what I Have read in article at Rtings.
They also said that if you get image from source 60hz it will look the same on 60hz panel and 120hz panel...
