Panasonic’s flagship Full HD TV is the AS802, which will ship in choices of 47-, 55- and 60-inch screen sizes.
All we’ve been told about it so far is that it packs in the same ‘Beyond Smart’ feature set as the 4K AX802 but, as far as we can make out, won’t possess the same local dimming capabilities. It obviously doesn’t have the new Studio Master panel, either.
Additionally, Panasonic has furnished us with details for their mid-range TVs, namely the AS650 and AS740 Series.
Both are to feature the new ‘TV Anywhere’ app where you can access TV programmes or recordings from anywhere in the world, while Remote Sharing allows you to send images, videos or messages directly to your TV.

The AS650 comes in four screen sizes from 42 to 60 inches, whilst the AS740 series is available in three screen sizes from 42-55 inches.
D-LED Backlighting sounds promising
Thanks to the promising sounding Direct LED (D-LED) backlight, the new series is claimed to offer uniform brightness and there’s also 1200 Hz BackLight Scanning Intelligent Frame Creation Pro (BLS IFC) to help aid motion handling.
The AS740 has a built-in dual HD Tuner, enables the reception of all digital HD and SD programmes via satellite and DVB-T without the need for another receiver and it also has an integrated high-resolution camera for Skype video calling.
Both Series will also have access to the recently announced Freetime Service
Again, we’ll update with pricing and availability details when we have them.
