I was considering buying a Panasonic TV, model CT27D20, and have been trying to find reviews of it on the web. Does anyone here have one, or know a likely source for a review?

I have a 32 and my bud has a 36. The simple answer is <blinK>STAY AWAY FROM PANASONIC</blink>.

They have purity problems that really show if watching DVD's. I forced Panasonic to replace the picture tube (I had to pay to get it diagnosed http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/frown.gif ). The guy put a new picture tube in and it was only slightly better.... now it's back.

The problem with these POS' is that they cannot handle "white". Panasonic's are notorious for this. You will notice that the lower left side of the screen will add a bluish tinge to anything white and the right side of the screen will have a rusty yellow tinge.

And, it cannot be fixed with magnets either. My only solution after having a new picture tube in is to "lower" the projection power (using the diagnostics feature).

My 0.02. GO FOR A TOSHIBA OR SONY.
