Panasonic CT-13R42 13" TV (White)

Rating:
Summary: Good picture, mediocre sound, fine for the kitchen
Review: Picture quality of this 13" Panasonic TV is good, not great. If you want great, get a Sony or Toshiba. From what I have seen at the stores, the Panasonic's picture quality is approximately equivalent to an RCA, and is better than several other brands, including GE, Philips, Sharp, and Sylvania.

The audio on this TV could be better. The single small speaker positioned at the lower right on the front of the chassis does not sound as good as my previous 10" Panasonic TV. However, it does sound better than other small TVs which have their speakers on the sides.

The menu system for set-up is laid out nicely but is somewhat confusing to use due to inconsistencies in the keying for the "enter" command. Other TV brands I own (Sony, Mitsubishi) do this a lot better.

On the positive side, the Panasonic has the necessary controls for adjusting video quality, is straightforward to use (after set-up), looks attractive in a kitchen setting, and has a reasonably small foot-print. If you are looking for a small TV with a good picture, this might be the one for you.

Summary: Good Kitchen TV.
Review: We have this TV in the kitchen. The white color fits in well with our all white room. The set has a good picture, and the price is right. The only negative on this TV is the sound. The audio is mono, (one speaker) so one has to crank-up the volume
if there are other sounds in the room.If the audio on this TV was in stereo, I'd give it 5 stars. Even with that said, it is a good value. It even comes with a second, smaller remote that has a magnet, so you can stick it to the fridge.
