Summary: How I Wish I Could Afford This Beauty
Review: 6 stars.I recently shopped HDTVs and had a look at the CT36HX40. It's absolutely incredible. It reduces the watcher to an immovable mass of jelly, content to sit staring even at commercials. Alas, it's outside my budgetary window, so I'll have to impatiently sit and wait for prices to come down. I've never seen detail, brightness and lifelike contrast like this. I might yet be able to turn into a couch potato if we ever get one of these...

Summary: Space Saving??
Review: Do not get the idea that this is space saving? It takes up as much, or more room as any tv. If you want a HD compatible tv with a good picture, this is not the one to get. Go take a look at the SONY XBR sets. They blow this away.

Summary: at 24" D, least depth in class
Review: Got this TV a month ago and have been very happy. Ditto what others say about picture quality... to my eyes better than Toshiba and Sony sets I considered. One item others haven't mentioned is depth. At 24" deep this is the most svelte 36" HDTV (-ready) I could find. We've put it in an entertainment center made of stock cabinetry, anything over 24" would have hung over the front edge. This set fits perfectly.

Summary: TOOK MINE BACK
Review: I appreciated all the time people took to write reviews, as they were quite helpful to me so I thought I would reciprocate and share my experience. The picture was great as everyone said, but nobody mentioned one thing that was important to me. THE SOUND ON THE T.V. IS TERRIBLE. They put [price] speakers in a [price] television. Yes, I have a surround system and that works great, but I don't want to have to fire up the stereo at 7 in the morning just to watch the morning news. If you keep this in the basement and really don't care about the sound from the TV speakers then this is a good one for you. If you keep it in the family room and don't always run it through the surround sound then this TV will make you crazy. Maybe it's just me, but give a good listen before you buy this television.

Summary: Panasonic CT36HX41 HDTV
Review: I bought the Panasonic rather than the Sony XBR, which was my first choice, because the Sony would not fit into a custom-built cabinet. The Panasonic has been very disappointing. The features are great, but it has totally unacceptable color, with a heavy green cast to everything that cannot be corrected with the color controls. The line doubler also produces very distracting artifacts on normal broadcast reception. After a weekend with the Avia calibration disk and a service call, I am returning this set and getting a Sony I can rely on.

Summary: Sony vs Panasonic
Review: I finally settled with the Panasonic 36" HDTV over the Sony 36 Wega. I bought the Wega last year and had nothing but problems with the picture. My eyes couldn't handle the brightness and contrast settings.. they were just too too bright. Watching sporting events where there were a lot of white jerseys would drive me up a wall. I looked into the HDTV Sony and it did the same thing.. I now have the 36" Panasonic HDTV and I am totally content with the picture. I did a lot of investigations and they say to get the AVIA setup disk to get the colors down.. then you'll have a picture like NO SONY! I LOVE this TV!
