HDTVtest recently held an interesting flat panel shootout in conjunction with retailer Crampton & Moore and Leeds Trinity University:

Results:

In the ?Best 4K Ultra HD TV? category, it was a landslide win for the Panasonic TX-65AX802B which secured a whooping 65% of the votes (11 out of 17) despite not supporting Netflix 4K. The ?Best TV? category was much closer, but it?s the other Panasonic, the Viera ZT plasma, which took the prize home, edging out the LG curved OLED by 10 votes to 7.

None of the 4K LED LCDs received any vote for ?Best TV?, suggesting that they still have some way to go before approaching the picture quality of the as-good-as-dead plasma and the not-yet-fully-fledged OLED TVs. That the Viera AX802/ AX800 managed to score a comfortable win over Samsung?s and Sony?s offerings just goes to demonstrate how good Panasonic is at making top-notch TVs: you can take TV (plasma) out of a company, but you can?t take the company out of TV.
