Panasonic CT-27HL15 27" HD-Ready Flat Screen TV
Horrid in Every Way
Let me begin by saying I should have heeded the previous reviews.  It was a huge mistake on my part.  Unfortunataely, I let my desire for a 27 inch high def television that would fit in my existing cabinet cloud my judgement.  I have learned my lesson now.  I will never again buy an item from Amazon that I cannot return. <br /> <br />My first complaint is that the dimmensions listed in the product descriptions are simply untrue.  The item is wider than stated.  This means that I now am the not-so-proud owner of a television that does not fit in my cabinet.  Due to Amazon's policy of no returns on this item I have no option but to accept it in spite of the false discription. <br /> <br />If that was not bad enough, the television itself is broken.  It shuts itself off after less than sixty seconds.  I tried all of the \\"trouble shooting\\" nonsense without success.  I strongly suspect that I was sold a reconditioned television. <br /> <br />I, of course, tried to contact the only licenced repair shop in under a three hour drive.  Because of my  extremely remote location, they refuse to come and service the television.  This is flatly against the stated \\"in home service\\" policy as stated by Panasonic. The shop is willing to sever their contract with Panasonic rather than make the (no doubt) unprofitable trip out to my home.  Tomorrow my toddler and I will try and bring the television into the shop and make it back home before my older children are released from school.  We will have to repeat the process in reverse on a later date.  I could just scream. <br /> <br />Please, do not buy anything from Amazon that you cannot return after delivery.  I have been lied to in the product description, sold a non-functioning television, and faced absolutely no support in trying to have the situation remedied.   <br /> <br />Stick to books and music.
