I replaced my LG TV with this budget Panasonic model for a week - here's my buying advice


Panasonic's W70B series delivers a budget-friendly TV experience that is also one of the lightest models I've set up.

A quick sniff test for any TV's optics involves closely watching the opening credits for a contemporary film because they're composed of motion graphics. The intro graphics looked OK, but you could easily spot the TV's low (60Hz) refresh rate because of the slight judder trailing along moving images. Again, this is a budget TV with a full-panel LED backlight and no local dimming, so its brightness and contrast are not as high as more premium models with technologies like Mini-LED or OLED.
