Panasonic CT-34WX54 34" TheaterWide HDTV-Ready Flat Screen TV
Jaw dropping...
My wife and I have been looking for a HD television for about 6 months now.  We originally started looking at rear projection televisions, but quickly found that the total area they consumed would be too much for our living room.  We took a breather for a couple of months, and began looking at tube HD televisions.  After reading several reviews of the CT 30WX54 (the 30\\" cousin) we decided to check it out.  Our local Circuit City had the CT 30WX54 and the CT 34WX54 side-by-side, and we went with the 34\\".  The picture is beautiful, DVDs look great, television is awesome and XBox is cooler than ever.   <br /> <br />If this is your first HD TV, you'll need to pick up a few extras, component cables for your DVD player, the Monster component kit for XBox, and a new stand, because, man, this is one heavy TV!   <br /> <br />Compared to other models by Sony and Samsung in the same size range, the Panasonic really comes out on top between quality and price. <br /> <br />A couple of side notes: <br />* There are only two component ports on the back, you'll probably need to pick up a DVI-HDMI cable to hook up your cable/satellite box if you are using them up. <br />* HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY, make sure you get a friend to help you move it in.  This is NOT a one person job. <br />* It's a lot bigger than it looks at the store.  Remember the showroom is huge, chances are yur living room is not.
