Summary: good value
Review: Good points - best price, 2-tuner PIP works with webtv, sound is fine. Bad points - not the best picture. Clear enough but distorts a little at top. All in all, worth the "money".

Review: I recently purchased this TV after doing countless hours of research and I must say this is the best 32" tube tv money can buy. The picture quality is outstanding. It is loaded with features, such as 2 tuner PIP, which few 32" & under sets have. Also, there are component video, s-video and multiple RCA inputs for virtually every device. The only feature I would have liked to see added would be a front s-video input (possibly in lieu of the headphone jack?)...Overall this is an excellent price for a whole lot of tv. Great for those who can't yet afford or don't have the space for an HDTV set or other larger models.

Summary: A great addition to the home entertainment system...
Review: I've been a longtime Sony user, but in my humble opinion, they've been going downhill the last few years. So I was determined to do my homework and research the best tv with the nice extras that wouldn't empty my wallet. I narrowed it down to a few different makes and models and read reviews on amazon as well as other websites and published reviews. Being from a smaller town, you usually don't get to see all the models, just what's on the showroom floor. So you either settle for what you see or make a leap of faith and order a tv without seeing the quality of the picture or conveinence of it's features. Well, as I browsed Best Buy, I was lucky enough to see the Panasonic CT-32D32. The picture alone almost totally sold me. The colors are deep and rich and almost as vivid as a film in the movie theatre if not just as good. The Panablack tube really delivers rock solids blacks with no glare that I could see. It just helps the picture to pop out at you. Add to this a PIP, just about every input you could ask for, a well laid out remote, and just plain superior design... you've got the makings of a real winner. DON'T pass this one by.. see for yourself and you might just be sold on it as well.

Review: Overall, this has all of the features that I was looking for and was small and compact enough to fit into a wall unit that previously held a 26 inch set. The picture is very clear and accessing the various features is fairly simple once you read the instructions and play around with it for a few minutes.

Summary: Excellent 32-Inch TV Set from PANASONIC
Review: Technology has been changing exponentially so I still spend weekends window-shopping. However, there are still some constants out there. PANASONIC and SONY still manufacture the best tube televisions as far as I can discern. When entering into the tube TV market (20 inches and above) your best bet for uniform picture quality and consistent performance is PANASONIC and SONY. Both of these manufactures still stake their reputations on this market. Both manufacturers also still have a loyal following of satisfied customers who return time and again to their Televisions. I used to sell audio and video products. A returning PANASONIC customer settles for nothing but another PANASONIC television. A returning SONY customer settles for nothing but another SONY television. That's the way it was. From my point of view PANASONIC and SONY still make the best television sets utilizing a conventional picture tube. Price range aside, my criteria for choosing a set is simply how well the picture looks to me. I look for picture definition, sharpness and color consistency. Personally I found SONY to have a slight edge over PANASONIC in picture definition and sharpness. PANASONIC televisions offer great definition with a slightly softer looking image than SONY. However, I do find that PANASONIC still has better control over color consistency. A color picture is made up of Red, Green and Blue signals. Reds are the hardest to reproduce and control because they have a tendency to over-saturate and "bleed." From the many sets that I have observed PANASONIC controls this "bleeding." PANASONIC keeps the Red signal at the same level and consistency of the Greens and Blues, which is more pleasing to the eye. In order to compare sets I always use the same video source, which is usually, a DVD player (I use the same player as well as the same software). My point is that I saw a discernable difference in the PANASONIC 32-inch sets compared to Sony's 32-inch sets. The Panasonic CT-32D32 32" TV is an incredible set. If you are not going to HDTV it's the best for my money.
