Panasonic CT-27SX11 27" Tau Pure Flat Screen TV
Only works on occasion
Bought in September 2001.  3 Times now found a strange halo around the center of tube.  All red or all blue.  Bad picture tube?  Well, I just unplug it for a few minutes and then everything is ok again.  Strange.<br />Ok, so try to turn it off.  Press the power button on the front.  TV turns off, then back on again.  Very frustrating.  Try again and again.  Can't turn off.  So head to the remote to turn off.  Everything ok.  Happened several random times.<br />Speaking of remote, turn on from the remote, and I get a click, but no picture!  Try, try again.  Finally a picture.  Happened at least a couple dozen times.<br />Tonight, I turn off the TV, and I have a strange high pitch sound comming from it that I cannot get rid of.  Not out of the speakers, but from the back!  Leave unplugged for 5 hours (getting used to this) and when I plug in, same thing.  Sounds like a cheap motor how it winds down when I unplug it.  What the heck?!?<br />Last thing, for as much as this 27\\" TV weighs and looks when it works, I expected the best.  Instead I've had nothing but trouble, and determined that it is made of cheap components.  It even feels cheap when you use the buttons on the front.  Don't lift it to send it back.  Make them come to you.
