Summary: A good 32" TV Set
Review: Had experience with a Pansonic 20" Tau Set. That one was excellent, a 2001 model, CT20SX11. This one is new. Picture is very good for a non HD TV and considering the size of the tube.
Have an antenna for input. Have no cable TV. The tuner does not receive a good stereo broadcast signal, so, when the set is set to stereo, the sound is distorted/scratchy. Had to set it to mono to receive broadcast TV. Not happy about that but viewing DVD and VCR tapes the sound is great as the stereo signal is received and sent out of the TV. There is no adjustment of stereo signal i.e. Stereo/mono/sap from the alternate sources (DVD/VCR).The set really shines viewing DVD's with component cable connections...excellent picture considering not an HDTV Tube. The set is very heavy (161lbs.) and bulky to lug in and set up. Overall quite pleased with the set as it replaced a dying 27" sony set.

Summary: A glorious TV... but...
Review: I owned this TV for about three days, as a replacement for an old TV that died. The picture on this set in the store and at home was truly beautiful. It stood out from all the non-HD models near it and it was exactly the same picture when I got a copy home. The setup couldn't have been easier. The remote was slightly cheezy, but everything else was first rate: picture, sound, setup menus, features. Here's why it went back: this TV, like every TV larger than 27" to be found at all of the big box stores near me is silver. It would be better to say SILVER. This TV is very obvious, screaming at you as you pass by: hey, lookit me! I'm SILVER. ::sigh:: It's even distracting (or I found it so) when you're watching it: the silver frame distracts from the picture. I desparately wanted the black cabinet model, which you cannot get. I ended up with the JVC I'Art in the same size. Not nearly the equal TV, but it was the ONLY black cabinet left anywhere. In any case, if you want an outstanding TV and don't mind the plasticy silver box, this is the one I would stear you to. It's glorious, but...
