2017 Panasonic EX750 - 3D TV lives on!!

[Nightopian]

Hey guys,

Just when we were all getting down in the dumps about TV manufacturers completely dropping 3D from their lineup this year, there is a beacon of hope for us 3D fans. After receiving an email regarding the upcoming sales one thing stood out to me, a 2017 75" Panasonic 4K HDR TV with 3D support! I thought it was a misprint or I was seeing things so I looked further and sure enough, Panasonic's new 2017 lineup consists of a large range of different TV with one particular series the EX750 (EX780 in Europe/Australia) offering 3D support!

I apologise if this is common knowledge to you all, but I've been out of the loop this year regarding 3D TV's since hearing the new early on about it being dropped by every manufacturer. So if there are people like me who haven't been keeping up or have missed it, this thread is for you.

You really have to give Panasonic praise here. They have a TV that suites all different kinds of buyers in their lineup and the fact that they have specifically made one series which still supports 3D really goes to show they care about every type of consumer. The good thing is the price for the 75" was amazing! (around $3000 USD with this sale). There are also 65", 58" and 50" versions!

I might write Panasonic an email to thank them for doing this because it was such a nice surprise to find out about this news. Congrats to them for being supportive. 3D lives on my friends...

As the top-tier LCDs from 2016 continue to be sold this year, Panasonic’s 2017 LED LCD range begins in the middle tier. The EX750 is the top model of this middle tier. It has a peak brightness of around 550 nits, but it also uses the same Studio Colour HCX2 processor found in the premium OLED models.

It is an edge-lit LCD – none of Panasonic’s 2017 4K TVs are direct lit. It uses a new local dimming approach: local dimming tends to involve splitting the lighting into zones to separate the light and dark areas, but Panasonic says it has found a way to manipulate the LCD panel itself and limit light bleeds. The idea is to maximise the level of contrast you’d typically get from an LCD TV.

The EX750 has a curious ‘Swivel and Lift’ design, which does exactly as it suggests. You’ll be able to adjust the TV’s height and the direction it faces. Well, the 58-inch and 50-inch versions, anyway. The 65-inch version only has the swivel element and the 75-inch version doesn’t move at all.

Last and least: the EX750 is the only model in the entire range to support 3D. It uses the active shutter system. Demand for 3D has dwindled to the point where most manufacturers just don’t bother any more, but you may want to look at this model if you’ve invested heavily in 3D Blu-rays.
