About the Product

Barbizon frames are named after a group of landscape artists, led by Theodore Rousseau, who were working in the village of Barbizon. They were part of the French Realist movement and forerunners of the impressionists. They often use this style of frame to frame their paintings. In English we call it Barbican.

The EX700 series can deliver amazing 4K HDR pictures from streaming services and Ultra HD Blu-ray. A slim design, with metal frame and stand complements the great picture. Thanks to 'Switch Design' you can chose which way around the stand goes to work with your furniture or AV accessories.

Panasonic 4K screen produced lovely bright pictures than Sony full HD TV.
Premium looking TV, body constructed with metal bezel and sturdy stainless steel TV stands.
Good LCD panel - no backlight bleeding, no clouding, no banding issue.
This TV is well worth it for the price. Lovely screen. The picture quality is amazing and I like the apps features.
Picture is not very good when source is low quality. I think standard definition is not great on any 4K TVs and upscaling of poorer quality content.

Great picture, sound quality and volume, as well as the visual appearance/looks, and is thinner than a lot of other’s around the same price.
Very impressed with the Picture quality but the same cannot be said for the Audio,which is very poor when there are People talking the Bass sounds are distorted.
The Speakers do not seem capable of handling the Signal, and I listen to the Audio at Level 5 & 6,which I consider to be a low level of signal strength.
