Expert reviews and ratings

To be honest, we had our doubts about the X700R before we started using it thanks to its confusing 4K story and the pressure it was under from above and below by JVC’s own X500R and Sony’s VW500ES. But in the end its simply stunning, contrast-driven picture quality is just undeniable.
