Catch-up TV, streaming and more

There's plenty to watch on your Panasonic TX-40ES500B 40" Smart LED TV, with a range of smart apps including BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and Demand 5 so you can catch up on all your favourites.

Stream movies and more from Netflix and Amazon (subscriptions sold separately) – UKTV gives you access to catch-up from Dave, Really, Yesterday and Drama. With an optional subscription to Wuaki TV, you'll be able to see content from YouTUbe, Vimeo and other apps.

Freeview Play makes catch-up TV simpler, with a programme guide that spans seven days back and features a quick Look Guide to show what's on, what you've missed and recommended shows.

My Home Screen and Swipe & Share

Put your favourite and most-used apps where they're most convenient with the customisable My Home Screen 2.0. There's a dedicated remote button for your favourite app, and control of the home screen is so simple.

Display content from your compatible smartphone or tablet on your Panasonic TX-40ES500B. Swipe & Share lets you enjoy photos and video on the big screen with a flick of your finger – ideal for sharing with friends and family.

Crisp Full HD screen

Enjoy all your entertainment in Full HD quality. The high-contrast screen gives every frame deeper blacks and brighter highlights for sharper definition and richer detail.

Even fast-paced scenes look smooth and blur-free with a 600 Hz BMR (Backlight Motion Rate). Adaptive Backlight Dimming adds depth and optimises picture quality for different sources you have connected to the TV.

USB recording

Save your favourite shows to USB. There are two USB 2.0 ports to connect a stick or external drive – just hit REC on the remote to save a programme for later.
