Panasonic CT-30WX54 30" Widescreen Pure Flat HDTV-Ready TV
Best TV for the price
I read dozens of reviews before buying this set. I've had it for about 2 months now and can't get over how great the picture looks. Whenever friend's come over and see it for the first time they are totally amazed. I got this set because I wanted improved picture quality over my 27\\" Wega but couldn't afford Plasma or LCD. Widescreen is the way to go if you watch a lot of dvd's or HD. I watch programs I wouldn't normally watch just to see the HD picture. I got the HDMI cable which connects to my Comcast cable box and digital audio connections from the cable box and dvd player - I also upgraded to a progressive scan dvd player which works better with an HD set. I often use my Panasonic home theater system for sound but the speakers do sound really good. My only criticism besides the size of the set (no surprise there - you know what you are getting - and don't try to lift this thing yourself) is that the yellows and greens are just a tad off which I notice most when watching football with the green grass and yellow first down marker - I can't seem to get the yellow perfect with the tint control. I wish sets had individual color controls - if we can send a man to the moon this doesn't seem impossible. When you watch anything shot in HD it really is like looking through a window. Like going from dial up to DSL once you see HD there is no going back. I only wish I ahad this tv to watch my Sox win the World Series but I'm sure they'll do it again. I got my set at Circuit City for $850 with free delivery which came 2 days later right on schedule.
