Summary: This 27" TV/DVD is a great value!
Review: I bought this combo after initially looking for just a DVD player...after being veered off into the television area, this one caught my attention. The screen is not flat, but provided a great picture on the display model. The size was perfect for my entertainment center, clearing the sides by about 1 1/2inches all around. The built-in DVD worked smoothly with the TV, and the price clinched it for me (I got it at an electronics store, where it was being cleared out to make space for newer models).This TV has front & back AV inputs, which is wonderful for those who have many things plugged into their TV...I have DirecTV, a VCR and two game systems, and the continual plugging and unplugging from my old tv was becoming tiresome...now I can plug the GameCube into the front when I want to use it, while keeping the DTV/VCR plugged into the coax port (or move them into the rear AV) & leaving the PS2 (now being saved from use as a DVD, hopefully extending it's life) in the rear, or even plugging the PS2 in front and doing a quick & easy swap when I want to switch game systems. I'm no techno-phile, but setup was very easy on this TV...the hardest part was carrying the 80LB monster in! The only real drawbacks are that while it will play CD-RW's, it won't play CDR's (!!!); also, the remote is a bit confusing, and takes a lot of getting used to. You have to remember to press the appropriate TV/DVD select button before using that devices' features, which can get very confusing. Overall, easy set-up, excellent out-of-the box sound and picture make this a great value.

Summary: a great buy
Review: I just got this TV/DVD combo today.... With tax, it came to $... I got it home and all I had to do was plug it in, connect the cable and turn into the human couch potato. Max time of installation was 15 minutes, including lugging the 80 lb. machine up two flights of stairs! No fussing with different cables and cords...which is nice if you're like me (not a techno-nerd). This is my first DVD player, but it seems relatively easy to use. The remote is handy, with all the buttons where they seem they should be. The TV picture is clear and the sound is okay. I was debating between buying this TV/DVD or the Toshiba flat-screen 20", which was $..cheaper. The Panasonic won out, though, because I thought the additional 7 inches of viewing was worth it. Overall, I would recommend this TV/DVD combo for someone who is too busy to worry about cords and connection cables. It is a great first-venture into the DVD world.

Summary: Do NOT buy this unit!
Review: I purchased my unit in December. The picture and the DVD were great. Right up until the 90 day warrantee ran out. The DVD unit will not return the disc. The disc remains inside the unit. This is not an uncommon problem with this unit. I have just been informed that the on-site repair will run [expensive], if I am lucky. If I had it to do over again, I would buy the DVD as a separate unit.

Summary: I LOVE this TV/DVD/CD
Review: I purchased this TV a year ago ~ as a moving out on my own/birthday gift;) ~ initially I went looking for a small TV/VCR combo & compact stereo/CD player... and then I saw her ~ the sliver/gray case is very attractive (and expensive looking) & the front input (as well as back) a great for when I decide to dust of & use the VRC & video game systems.
The biggest selling pint for me was the ability to play DVD & Audio Cd's (but not CDR's) the "screen saver" is kind of weak (blue DVD logo) compared to some others I have seen (cool graphics), but not a huge issue for me. And it has a front headphone jack! Picture quality is exceptional, compatible to a flat screen for considerably less $$$! DVD play looks phenomenal & (antenna - no cable for me) TV is surprisingly good. Also, its weird but, it appears to be bigger being bigger than 27" <shrug> I have concerns about the DVD tray breaking & opted for an expended 2 year warranty (in home if you can get it ~ she is very, very heavy!) ~ which I have not had to use. Treat it kindly, press button to open & close (don't push close ~ that's a safety lest it gets bumped ~ not for normal use). Sound is fantastic ~ if you set it to expanded stereo.... Setting this TV up can be simple as plugging it in & going thought set up (under 5 minutes) or take time to read the manual & set all the additional features to you preferences ~ it's worth the time & effort! ... The remote is great (kind of complicated ~ you will have to read the manual to figure it all out ~ the manual is very user helpful with step by set instruction on how to do things) with light up buttons for easy use in the dark (I love that!). Panasonic's toll-free customer service was also excellent ~ quick & very helpful, helping with the DVD screen saved problem I had ~ I didn't have a problem; I just expected something a bit more exciting <LOL>. I love this TV & so do all my friends ;)

Summary: What a buy for the money!
Review: I shopped around both on and off net but couldn't find a better buy than on Amazon. I was a bit reluctant till I received the TV/DVD from Panasonic. Bit larger than I expected but wow what a picture and really easy to program and use. Only thing I would've done to improve it was to have a flat screen. On top of all the cool electronics the price was enhanced by free delivery and no shipping and handling.

Summary: This was money well spent!
Review: The Panasonic CT-27DC50 TV/DVD is a quality piece of equipment. I just got it a few days ago, and I was impressed by the sharpness of the DVD playback. It takes a while to understand the remote control unit as it has a lot of buttons to learn and the owner's manual is a little vague on descriptions, but the picture itself is great and the quality of the sound is excellent. I, for one, am glad that it ISN'T a flat screen TV, as reflections would be a big problem. I have no hesitation to recommend this one.

Summary: Wonderful Product
Review: This is a winner. We were looking for a replacement for our old TV and also wanted a DVD player in our bedroom. This was the best of both worlds. Since the filters are all built in, the picture quality when playing the DVD is great. The television is top quality (although it would have been even better if it were a flat screen). Overall this is a tremendous value for a wonderful product.
