Panasonic CT36HX40 36" TAU Pure Flat Screen HDTV-Ready TV Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: Feature & Picture
Comment: This tv is a flagship for its sound, picture and features. The sound has an A/I capibility for even better sound. It also has a 3-D Spatializer. This makes the sound, sound like it's coming from the front and the sides of you. This picture is great. It has a 3D-Y/C FILTER for better picture resolution. It is also easy to change the color tone. You can change it between WARM, COOL, and NORMAL. The features are very useful. There are parental controls, timers, automatic programming, and more. The review with the green tint probably had their tint coloring all the way to max or min. It should be in the middle for normal color.

Summary: Great Great TV..
Comment: The first thing i noticed about this Tv when i was comparing it to the Sony 36 inch HDTV was that the picture was so much clearer on this one...also it was easy to hear the sound even in a noisy place like Best Buy.. It wasn't hooked up to a surround sound system but simulated 3-d surround sound. I have it hooked up to a Panasonic Dvd player and progressive scan looks great!!! BUY THIS TV!!!!!!

Summary: at 24" D, least depth in class
Comment: 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: How I Wish I Could Afford This Beauty
Comment: 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: This Set is Awesome!!
Comment: My wife and I have been nursing along a 21-year old, 19-inch GTE/Sylvania color TV, that she had purchased as a Freshman in college. Single speaker, retractable rabbit antenna . . .
the unit is probably coal-burning.
Enter the world of "INVAR Shadow Masks", "Anamorphic DVD Detection", and "3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter". While these sounded like instruments of a CIA field agent . . we just wanted a great picture. Not wanting to look like total imbeciles, we researched the Net, including the Amazon site.
After going to numerous stores to compare 36-inch sets, we can say without qualification - the picture clarity on the Panasonic CT36HX40 literally spanks the pants off anything else we looked at . . with the possible exception of the SONY XBR250 - the set we originally considered.
The problem with the SONY XBR250 is that at 40-inches across, it's impossible to find a well-made entertainment center large enough to hold this digital mausoleum. The only alternative was to have a cabinet-maker do a custom-build . . or order a Contemporary glass/chrome TV pedestal/settee...
We have hooked up the Panasonic set to a SONY DVPNS700P DVD player/ w progressive scan, and so far, the the picture has been astonishing. For those who don't want to hire the Army Corps of Engineers to install a 5-channel home-theatre/ video receiver/AC3 experience, or go throught a pre-flight check before turning the unit on, the Pansonic provides a nice 3D surround sound built right-into the set.
Do yourself a huge favor and have it home-delivered. [The set is] 242 lbs...

Editorial Review for Panasonic CT36HX40 36" TAU Pure Flat Screen HDTV-Ready TV:
The Panasonic CT36HX40 has a 36-inch PureFlat screen with a two-tuner picture-in-picture, split-screen display, a progressive-scan doubler for an incredibly sharp picture, and a 3-D comb filter to remove dot crawl and increase color separation.HDTV compatible, this TV is capable of receiving and playing DTV programming that is broadcast in either 1080i or 720p format. The TV must be connected to a DTV set-top box by its component video inputs and switched to DTV mode (an external, over-the-air antenna may be required). Other video features include a fine-pitch picture tube to enable an image with much finer detail, horizontal edge correction to sharpen the edges of objects in the picture, and color transient improvement that minimizes color smear at the edges of images to ensure clear, distinct colors.
For audio, the CT36HX40 features a built-in stereo/SAP decoder with dbx noise reduction to receive both Separate Audio Program (SAP) and TV stereo telecasts where available. A dbx noise reduction system helps provide clear, crisp sound with proper stereo separation, and 3-D Spatializer surround sound creates an enveloping 3-D sound experience from just two speakers. A center-channel audio input jack and a full host of A/V jacks (front and rear) ensure that this TV will integrate seamlessly with your home theater system or allow you to build a full audio system around it. Separate bass, treble, and balance controls let you adjust the sound to your personal preference, and the Artificial Intelligence sound-level control adjusts the volume level automatically to prevent wide variations in volume among different TV channels and types of programming.
Convenience features include 16-channel favorite-channel scan, a 181-channel NTSC tuner, built-in closed caption decoder, and channel labeling capability (create your own captions for channels) with 48 presets. V-chip program lock out helps parents lock out unwanted programming, and the programmable timer allows you to program the TV to turn itself on and off at a selected channel and time every day. The Roller Guide menu system lets you select features or make adjustments to your television with icons that are placed on a roller at the left edge of the picture so that icons don't cover the screen.
The CT36HX40 comes with a Director lighted home theater remote control that operates most current audio and video equipment, making it the only remote you'll need to operate your home cinema components.
The Panasonic CT36HX40 comes with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
