The Panasonic TX-40DS500B is an entry-level 40-inch HD TV. Its best features are Freetime Catch-Up TV and streaming services from Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. It also has built-in Wi-Fi and ethernet connections, and can mirror smartphone screens. Picture quality isn't very refined however, and neither is the sound system. We'd only recommend this model if you can buy it for less than £400.Read more
