Editorial note
The Panasonic TX-40MS490B television offers an immersive visual experience thanks to its 40-inch Full HD screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and high contrast. The various display modes, tailored to different types of content such as games and movies, enhance the user experience. However, the lack of HDR may affect image quality when streaming recent content, which is a point to consider for cinema enthusiasts. In terms of connectivity, this model features three HDMI ports and two USB ports, allowing for the convenient connection of multiple multimedia devices. However, the absence of Smart TV features limits access to certain streaming applications, which can be a drawback for users eager to enjoy online content without external devices.

Finally, this television is compatible with Google Assistant, facilitating voice control and providing an intuitive user experience. The well-detailed user manual offers useful information for optimal product use.
