Summary: PANASONIC Makes the Better 32-Inch TV Set
Comment: PANASONIC and SONY manufacture the best tube televisions. 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 stake their reputations on this market. Both manufacturers also 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 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. I believe PANASONIC's PANABLACK picture tube somehow is perfectly realized on their 32-inch sets.

Summary: Very nice for a large screen...just a bad remote.
Comment: I purchased the set (for the price way more than listed here), and I have been quite pleased with the quality of the picture for the large size monitor. Especially with DVD, you can truly enjoy movies at home. Sound is ok, yet you might want to have a surrounding system if you like to enjoy movies more. Only bad thing is the remote control. It's not a user-friendly design and, I think, it has a pretty weak signal. You have to stand (or sit) on the straight line from the set.
Editorial Review for Panasonic CT-32D20 32" TV:
This 32-inch stereo TV by Panasonic uses the latest digital technology for great picture quality. For example, the three-line digital comb filter uses new digital separation technology to enhance color and edge detail, dramatically increasing picture resolution by eliminating blurred edges and reducing dot crawl. The PanaBlack picture tube has darker glass than that of conventional tubes to better offset the picture-degrading effects of ambient light, assuring higher contrast and accurate color reproduction. The adjustable color temperature system allows for adjustment of the background color balance to settings of cool, warm, or normal, while the horizontal edge correction helps sharpen video edges for clean, crisp television images. The result of this integrated technology is a television that produces a new level of picture sharpness and detail.The audio features of the CT-32D20 will also add to your enjoyment. Simulated surround sound creates the effects of a multichannel system, expanding the front left and right channels for a virtual surround-sound effect. Broadcast stereo with dbx noise reduction improves the clarity and fidelity of stereo broadcasts, while front-firing speakers give a rich, clear sound stream. Separate bass and treble controls let you adjust the sound to taste, and artificial intelligence sound automatically controls the volume level, preventing sudden variations in volume when switching channels or programming.
To ensure that you get the best home-theater experience from your TV, Panasonic has included component video inputs that provide the highest possible picture quality from DVD players. In addition, dual rear A/V inputs and front A/V inputs add convenience for recording tapes directly from a camcorder or connecting video games and external video components such as a second VCR.
Other advanced features include single-tuner picture-in-picture, which lets you watch two programs at the same time, so you can check the score of your favorite basketball team's game while you're watching football. (Because this set does not have dual-tuner PIP, however, you'll have to route the PIP signal through your VCR or other device in order to use it.) The complete remote control operation includes PIP on/off, freeze, swap, and move. True couch potatoes will enjoy the illuminated "Director" home theater remote control with joystick. Not only does it provide full functionality for the television, but it can also be programmed to control most brands of home audio and video components, like VCRs, so you can control your whole system with one remote. In addition, the joystick control simplifies onscreen menu navigation, and the illuminated keys make it easy to find the button you're looking for in low-light conditions.
Finally, convenient features such as a sleep timer, video input labeling, V-chip parental control, and an onscreen menu system make this TV as easy to operate as it is fun to watch.
The Panasonic CT-32D20 comes with a 90-day warranty on labor, and a one-year warranty on parts (two years on the picture tube).
