Panasonic CT-34WX15 34" TheaterWide HDTV-Ready Flat Screen TV
Big...Oh, did I mention, it's big?
I ordered an S 97 as well as a CT34WX15, 34 inch CRT monitor.  The S97 arrived first.  It is very compact and all my CD's sounded better then on my old one.   The drawer is nice, it virtually snaps out when you press the button and, as the drawer is made of translucent material, the whole thing lights up with the little blue light when open.  All in all, a very nice unit. <br />    When the TV arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the box was open.  Now this is a one hundred eighty pound TV in the box.  The box itself could hold a small refrigerator.  I examined the contents and noticed that the shipping material looked as though it had been rearranged from when it was originally packed.  I got the TV set up, and turned it on.  Well there was a big green blemish on the screen and some other blemishes on the edges, nothing I did could make it go away so I called Panasonic.  Now I ordered it directly from Panasonic and while it did take me a few tries to get through their answering system, which by the way is the best voice recognition system I have been exposed to, it actually seemed to get what I was saying, I did finally get a human being.  The big surprise was that, in about five minutes, I had been directed to the right people, and the new set was on its way.  After reading some of the reviews with customer service nightmares, especially concerning Sony, I was defensive at first.  Now all I can say is that Panasonic service concerning this replacement was first rate.  They paid shipping for the whole thing and really were gracious and seemed to be interested in taking care of the problem.  The new set is here and it works great.  It was un opened and the packaging was factory fresh.
