Panasonic CT-27HL14 27" TAU Series HDTV-Ready TV
I like the TV but expect it to break based on the reviews here
I purchased this TV in february 2005 from Circuit City. <br />It had the best picture in the price range and it did fit my media center in the living room. So far I have the picture, but expect it to probably go bad, since so many people had problems with it. Fortunately I am covered for next 3 years since I purchased extended warranty from Circuit City. <br />Pros: <br />HDTV picture is absolutely great with lots of options for color and clarity adjustments. I also really like DVD movies (I use it a lot), they look excelent. I have tried the S-video or composite input for DVD (also panasonic, progressive scan) and it looks fantastic. I did not see TV with better picture close to this price at Circuit City at the time of purchase. <br /> <br />Cons: <br />Only 1 composite imput. Can't seem to turn off captions on some HDTV channels. Regular channels (non-HD) are darker and with somewhat lower clarity and need adjustments to look decent. <br /> <br />I don't use TV sound, since I have surround sound system and therefore will not judge it's quality. <br /> <br />Overall it's a great TV, if only there were 2 composite inputs and no apparent major problems with longevity (keeping my fingers crossed, since I have picture so far) <br /> <br /> <br />
