Panasonic CT-36HX42 36" PureFlat HDTV-Ready TV
Couldn't be better!!
After doing MONTHS of research, I went out and bought this unit.<br />Here are my main impressions:<br />1. The Picture quality is FANTASTIC. I have played both normal and progressive scan DVD players on this unit, as well as a XBOX, VCR, and Cable Box. The store \\"floor model\\" does not do this justice, you have to get it home and run through the \\"set-up screens\\". The only downside is if you are in a bright room (lots of windows, etc), as the brightness of the room will kill the picture. As most entertainment rooms are not bright this should not affect most people.<br />2. The remote needs some work. It does not have \\"full\\" control over my Cable Box like it should. It is not able to access the on-screen guide (SA3000 Model). I was told that that HL42 (The one with the sub-woofer) model has a higher grade remote and controls the cable box. Why they did not include this remote in this model TV is just stupid. The remote is also not \\"feel\\" friendly. It takes ALOT getting used to certain buttons. That said, get a \\"all-in-one\\" like I am going to.<br />3. As most channels are not in HD yet, don't expect to see that many. My cable company (COX) is coming out with HDTV in mid-Nov...so I should be able to see alot more. But, as the technology moves forward, I see almost ALL channels starting to have a HD option.<br />Closing....best buy for the money (and HD's are not cheap). But, this unit gives you all you need in a good home TV with HIGH QUALITY results!!
