FHD Picture Quality
The MS490 Full High Definition offers significantly enhanced picture performance compared to broadcast television - if you are upgrading from a standard definition model. Nature programs look even more realistic and action movies leap off the screen - all thanks to the high contrast HDR capability.

Equipped with Bluetooth®, the MS490 allows you to connect your TV to any Bluetooth-enabled audio device, such as soundbars, headphones, or speakers, wirelessly, thereby further enhancing your audio experience.
USB Media Player
With the USB Media Player, which plays multimedia files from a USB drive, you decide what to play on your TV. Simply connect a USB drive to the port and access personal content stored on the USB: music, videos, or photos. This feature makes this TV ideal for placement in a teenager's room.

It sticks quite a bit, there is a significant delay in commands, the picture quality is mediocre, and the sound is simply good. However, the biggest problem is that it turns on by itself at random times, and I haven't found the setting in the bad menu it has, resulting in the need to unplug it. As for the construction, it seems decent except for the back part where the wall mount screws, which is not very stable.
In general, I am satisfied with the purchase.
Very good picture, sound neither cold nor warm. Response at moderate levels. Plenty of connectivity ports. Unfortunately, it does not have USB recording function.
Purchased 200 from praktiker with a 3-year warranty.
Negatives
- Small viewing angles.
- The menu gave me some trouble. I imagine it's the same with all android TVs.
- Relatively slow in response.
Positives
- Good colors with plenty of options to customize to your liking.
- Good sound without much bass, but which TV has it? especially an affordable 32-inch one.
- Good construction.
- Bluetooth remote control.
- Central support base instead of legs on the edges.
I believe this TV is only intended for the bedroom due to its limited viewing angles. For a 32" Full HD at 200 euros, I consider it worth 5 stars. As a comparison, I only have a 32" TCL 32S5400AF that had a faulty speaker and I returned it, and the picture quality of the Panasonic is noticeably better.
The television has very good picture and sound quality! With numerous image adjustment options, you can customize it to your liking! Of course, you will need to disable the energy-saving feature for the image to increase brightness and contrast, ensuring maximum image quality in terms of brightness and color! This applies to any television regardless of the brand. The panel should ideally be VA (with some reservations), similar to a Sony TV that we have and compared side by side. When viewing from an angle, the colors may slightly distort, just like with Sony TVs, but it's not something drastic or too bothersome! At least it doesn't bother me. I bought it to watch TV channels and movies from a USB in my small bedroom when I'm there! The only negative thing I found, but it's not a reason to deduct a star, is that when watching movies from the USB, the subtitles are displayed with a black frame! But these are personal preferences; it may not bother someone else! (You need to download the player from the store to play the movies; otherwise, when you connect the USB, it doesn't show the content). It comes with Android 11 operating system. In terms of build quality, it is also very good! The plastic parts it has are not fake, and half of the back of the TV is metallic. In the photos I uploaded, you can see the numerous connection ports for a 32-inch TV! (I added the caps in the photos to prevent dust). The remote control is also of high quality! As shown in the photo on the top right, it has a blue light that turns on when you press a button! (I love things like that). It has a built-in microphone, so when you sync the remote control with the TV via Bluetooth, you can give commands through the microphone. If you don't sync it, it works conventionally with the front-facing buttons. I was also impressed that the Wi-Fi it has not only supports the classic 2.4GHz band but also the 5GHz band! Other 32-inch TVs don't have even half of the features and connection ports in general! You need to go up in size to have more features! So, it's definitely worth the money! I should also mention that when you're not using the TV with internet functions, it's good to disable the Wi-Fi from the TV! Also, the HbbTV, which is basically unnecessary for me! This way, the TV responds faster in general as a regular TV! I have tested this on other TVs we have at home, including Sony, Philips, and now Panasonic.
