Panasonic TX-24ES500B 24-Inch Widescreen 720p HD Ready Smart LED TV with Freeview HD (2017 Model) [Energy Class A]

This is my first LED TV, so maybe I'm expecting too much, but I am currently struggling to get as good a picture on this as I have on my 10 year old Panasonic plasma screen. The image is clear, and the colours are not bad, if a little over saturated at times on the default setting. My main issue is that the image does not appear to be as bright and vibrant as I would like, despite having been fiddling with the contrast and backlight settings since last night. Using the Dynamic settings makes everything VERY bright, particularly with whites, so I am using the Normal setting, but with adjustments. Maybe it will just take some getting used to.Edit:- I have just discovered that a setting to automatically adjust the screen according to the ambient lighting was On by default. This seems to dim the screen quite significantly, even in low room lighting. I have turned the setting Off, and am now getting a brighter picture, which is much more pleasing then before.What I do like is the large selection of apps included. You have YouTube, iPlayer, ITV Hub, and both Channel 4 and Channel 5 catch up services, plus quite a few other apps that I will probably never use, and access to an app store to get even more (some are free, some are not). It's also handy to be able to connect a USB stick to play back, an I believe you can also record on one, but I've not actually tried that.The sound is nothing special, but as this is only intended for a bedroom, it is perfectly adequate. It would have been nice to have the facility to use Bluetooth headphones, but you can't have it all at this price.

This is a great little 32” TV, bought on Amazon Prime day for just £290. The TV is lighter than I thought it was going to be but the last TV I bought was one of Panasonic’s plasma screens in 2011. This TV is for bedroom use and we were a little hesitant thinking a 32” would be too big for the room, however as soon as we got it up on the wall it fits great. I am impressed by the sound quality, it fills up our bedroom with ease. It’s not the bassiest but you can’t expect a TV of this size to be. And by no means is the sound tinny. The picture quality is definitely the wow feature, if you’ve owned a Panasonic before then you won’t be disappointed with this little addition. Bit of tweaking in the settings and the picture quality is really impressive for a TV this size. Other than playing around with the picture settings, setup was very quick and painless. I do like the Freeview Play feature straight from the EPG, especially when you’ve missed something you wanted to watch. Not having to launch another app to watch the program on demand is pretty cool. However, if you’re looking for inspiration then the use of the dedicated apps isn’t painful either. Netflix is one click away straight from the remote (it has a dedicated Netflix button), Amazon Prime is also available on this TV, however, it is missing Now TV. Probably the only downside to this TV is that it doesn’t have the Now TV app. I really can’t fault this TV for the price we paid. I’d happily pay full price if I was in market for another 32” TV.

A great bedroom tv for my daughter that gives her instant access to the chanles she loves e.g. Netflix and CBBC etc. Can't go wrong with Panasonic tv's in my experience. I still love my 10 year old plasma in my living room.

Very clear and clean screen, easy set up and mounts easily on the wall. Sound is not bad, but could be better. Plenty of functions but missing the obvious function of a programme reminder on the menu's. It will only programme for future events if it is mated to a USB HDD which (Panasonic) I think is a glaring error.Otherwise a nice little smart TV.JC

Wanted to replace tv in our kitchen and chose this. Have always had Panasonic TVs which I find reliable and easy to set up. Struggled a bit connecting the Sky magic eye but this was due to the RF channel on our sky box being set at 69 (this tv only allows 68 analogue channels) which I changed to 68 and it now picks up sky on the analogue channel 68. Can now watch my Netflix, digital and Amazon channels whilst cooking whilst husband can watch his football on the main tv. Result!

Great TV very pleased with picture and ease of set up etc. What is not obvious until your TV arrives is that it is designed for table top use. Does not have the four sockets to take a wall mount, only two of the holes have threaded sockets for VESA type mount.

TV arrived 13.5 pm and took 25 min to set up including internet , great little set for my spare bedroom for visitors and up to now a great set and I'm very pleased with it as I ordered one last week and when I got it was not a smart TV even though it said it was so I sent it back ,this one is fine .

The television set arrived days earlier, which was a pleasant surprise. The tv was easy to set up.Quality is good enough.One bug bear is registering the purchase online was problematic and the eligibility for a LUMIX camera was pass its deadline.
