Panasonic PV-DF2700 27-Inch Pure Flat TV-DVD-VCR Combo
Prayers are answered for those who wait.
As a mildly obsessive, to out right fiendish connoisseur of ...video entertainment I was perplexed 4 years ago when DVD&#8217;s came on the scene. I had my trusty vcr that brought me the satisfaction I needed to make it through the day. But the incredible picture and sound produced by the DVD format made me very jealous of the others in my video trading club who could afford the then expensive DVD players. But I wasn't worried, my vcr was fine, and films were still in ample supply in that format. Then about a year ago, the guys in my video trading group seamed to only have DVDs. At the next swap the guys decided they were going strictly DVD. I was devastated. I could not justify the purchase of a DVD player when my vcr was working fine. But I could not afford to lose the incredible selection an film swapping group allots you. So I went home and prayed for help for my predicament. One morning as I got ready for work my vcr just quit playing, right in the middle of my favorite flicks. I checked to make sure, but it was completely dead. I called in sick, went to Circuit City in search of a dream. I went in and explained my situation. They showed me the new vcrs, and the new DVDs, but going for the gold my young sales associate friend showed me his grand daddy model, the Panasonic PV-DF2700. I didn't really need a new TV, but my 21\\" model was 12 years old, and it was about due for replacement. And that pure flat screen is just unbelievable. The clarity is a thousand times better then my old RCA. The DVD looks and sounds great, and the vcr is top notch for a non SVHS model. The remote control is both attractive and functional, with well marked keys and a nice sense of ergonomics. The DVD format is great, and all my favorite classics  are being re-released on DVD. I for one can see no point at which DVD will ever stop. This was the best $... I have ever spent. When I showed up at the next video swap, everyone was in awe that I arrived with 5 brand new DVDs in hand. We hada group hug and they all congratulated me on a great leap into the brave new world of digital video. And when I told them I could record their DVDs while I watched them with just the push of a button, I realized they were the ones who were jealous now. I highly recommend this set to everyone. Thank you for your time.
