at 24" D, least depth in class

Got this TV a month ago and have been very happy. Ditto what others say about picture quality... to my eyes better than Toshiba and Sony sets I considered. One item others haven't mentioned is depth. At 24" deep this is the most svelte 36" HDTV...

How I Wish I Could Afford This Beauty

6 stars. I recently shopped HDTVs and had a look at the CT36HX40. It's absolutely incredible. It reduces the watcher to an immovable mass of jelly, content to sit staring even at commercials. Alas, it's outside my budgetary window, so I'll have to...

Panasonic CT36HX41 HDTV

I bought the Panasonic rather than the Sony XBR, which was my first choice, because the Sony would not fit into a custom-built cabinet. The Panasonic has been very disappointing. The features are great, but it has totally unacceptable color, with a...

A great choice for HDTV

I've owned this model for about four months. Before buying it I read the reviews in Stereophile Home Theatre magazine, and looked at multiple brands including Sony, JVC, sand Toshiba. I agree with Stereophile and Home Theatre's assesment. The set comes...

TOOK MINE BACK

I appreciated all the time people took to write reviews, as they were quite helpful to me so I thought I would reciprocate and share my experience. The picture was great as everyone said, but nobody mentioned one thing that was important to me. THE...

The T (pronounced "tau") is the crystallization of Panasonic's industry-leading technology, providing a level of viewing realism unlike anything you've ever seen before. It is also the 19th letter of the Greek Alphabet, and the name scientists have given to the last of the 12 known elementary particles believed to form all existing matter. Panasonic has chosen this letter for the new television series because its shape suggests the superior flatness and sharp picture quality of these new models. It represents the next generation of television, with a flat screen, high quality, realistic, outstanding picture performance and advanced digital technology that set high standards for others to follow. T[tau] stands alone as a television that points to a brilliant new future in viewing pleasure. Experience it.
