Panasonic CT-27SL13 27" Pure Flat TV (Silver)
A solid Panasonic product
I've had this TV for about 10 days now, so I can make some informed comments now. I purchased this as a replacement for an 12-year old, but still trusty, Panasonic 21-inch television. The first thing that jumped out at me was the sound quality, which is nothing short of superb. It sounds at times as if it's hooked up to stereo system speakers, but it's just the built-in speakers producing the outstanding sound.<br />I would rate the picture as good--not terrific, but certainly competitive with similar rival products. One note, however: I had to make significant adjustments to the factory settings to get a good picture. The first problem I encountered was dark scenes that were too dark, with much detail missing. One culprit was \\"Pic Mode,\\" which was preset to \\"vivid.\\" I changed this setting to \\"standard\\" and, right away, things improved. I also uppped the brightness and decreased the sharpness. Suddenly the too-dark problems were gone. <br />In addition, I don't know why TVs often come set so that Caucasian people look as if they have an extreme case of rosacea. No one looks like that in real life--unless they really do have a bad case of rosacea with its attendant red cheeks and nose! One of the things I found I had to do was to increase the tint setting, which decreases the red flesh tones.<br />One disappointment for me was that my old Panasonic had a slightly better picture than this one, but this 27-inch flat screen picture is still very good.  <br />All in all, this is a good product.
