Summary: Good Picture, Good Bargain
Review: Bought this TV after my old Zenith blew a fuse from a serious brown out. The Zenith was 9 years old and had minimal input and output capability. I was looking for a TV that was compatible on future products(DVD, Component Video, etc) yet it will not kill my pocket book because I don't spend all my days watching TV. After doing some serious researching for a week via Internet and looking in stores, I got the CT27D11 and here are my bullets(hope it will help your decision process):
Pro:
Great Price(Compare to JVC and Sony)
Nice Picture(very comparable to Sony)
Lots of inputs(3 in all) feature(S-video, Component Video, RCA, etc)
Has an output for your stereo/amp!
Remote work in the dark.
Has a very good record of reliability(compare to RCA and GE) = check consumer report.
The variable volume(output)to your amp is definitely a nice feature(you don't need another remote to control the volume on your amp/stereo).Con:
No PIP(Picture in picture). I have DirectTV, hence I don't need this because I don't want to buy another DirectTV receiver. If you really need PIP, buy the Panasonic CT27D31 instead.
Very weak User Manual(did not have instructions on what to do with the S-video). A man reading instructions?! Seriously, if you know how to connect VCR/Cable to your TV = you know what you doing. Hence the weak instruction manual is not that important.
Weak TV Speaker(compare to the JVC) = considering I have my own amp, this was not important(Read my bottom line). Remote is pretty dumb(compare to RCA universal remote): i.e. if your remote is on DBSS mode, your volume doesn't work(RCA's remote will recognize that you meant to adjust the tv volume). Bottom line:
If you are a tech geek(want everything and already have your own sound system), this is your system. There are very few system that you gives all the inputs/outputs, especially @ this price! The Panasonic gives the best performance where it counts: reliability and picture. As for other features(PIP and sound), do you really think any TV speakers will be better than your stereo? How often do you use PIP? Is it worth the price to have it? Have you ever use the "Last Channel" on your remote? Last note on PIP, have you ever try to watch TV w/your significant other in PIP mode? If you are still married, you are far more "blessed" than I;)

Summary: Low price, High end features!
Review: I purchased this TV exactly one year ago today. Set up was a snap, and I was all set up in 10 minutes or less. I turned on my PS2 and was instantly blown away. The picture quality is hundreds better than Composite.
The remote that comes packed in is a universal remote, so you don't have to purchase a separate remote for that purpose. You can control your TV, VCR, Satellite/Cable, or DVD. All you have to do is enter a simple programming code for each individual feature, depending on the brand. The remote is also very easy to use. The functions of the TV are very simple to utilitze. Things such as out of the box set up, the V-Chip Parental lock, turning the speakers on or off(turning them off allows for any surround or stereo system you may have to produce the audio), adjusting the color settings, and an alarm clock.
The inputs on the back of the TV are spaced perfectly, labeled and color coded, so no confusion is possible. I researched this a lot before purchase, and many people reported a camera-like tone. I have not heard this at all. This TV is highly reccommended!

Review: This is a great television for people like me who dont need the "extras" (ie: Picture In Picture). The sound is great, it has surround sound, the picture and color is excellent, actually the color is vibrant. Its easy to adjust with the universal remote. I put in the time and date without consulting the manual after learning about the action button. Someone in my family has a Sony TV, 33 inch screen, an older version. The panasonic has a much better picture and color. Am very pleased with the product.
