Panasonic CT34WX52 34" 16:9 HD-Ready Pure Flat Screen TV
Amazing HDTV
I bought this set, had it delivered, watched the High Definition broadcasts in amazement. I then thought that I didn't need to spend so much money on just a tv and returned it and had a Sony 32&quot; HDTV delivered. Let me tell you...no comparison. I called the store (who at this point thinks I've lost my mind) and asked them to bring the Panasonic back. The clarity of picture is due to the high resolution screen which isn't found on any other brand and only on the two tube-type widescreen HD televisions from Panasonic. Another plus is the two tuner input capability (not available on any Sony...which renders PIP inoperable when using a cable box) that allows me to use my Picture in Picture while running my hi def cable box. I currently have 9 high def channels and all are beautiful on this television although, as another reviewer mentioned, the darks...particularly on CBS...are very dark and I can't seem to fix that issue. But when a high def broadcast comes on that has been filmed with a high def camera, you would swear that you were there. Most people who have been in the house when the tv is on literally sit and stare. I can't tell you how many times that I have found the plumber/handyman/kitchen contractor just standing in my living room mesmerized by the picture. I have it hooked to a home theater system and a Panasonic DVD player. However, the set has pretty good speakers without having to use the home theater. But the 5.1 sound capabilities with HD broadcast are really good. The only cons have been that I don't think that the remote has the functionality that it should have. It was unable to learn the codes for some of my equipment. I haven't had the power problems that two of the reviewers have had so that's a plus. <br />So, if you want mind blowing picture clarity for high def broadcast, get this tv. You won't be disappointed. Just be warned...you may never watch tv alone again with this set in your house...the company just won't leave!
