Panasonic CT-27HL14 27" TAU Series HDTV-Ready TV Review

Of ALL of the TVs I have purchased, Panasonic has always come through time and again with high quality electronics. I still have a 19" "Pana-Black" TV I purchased in 1999(ten yrs ago!) that still works as it did the day I got it. I was just Googling this particular model (ct-27hl14j) looking to re-purchase yet another remote control that has been lost or broken, after many years of use & abuse by people that didn't have to pay for it. I purchased this 27" in 2004, from a Curcuit City that I got a markdown price of 0 because it had a large gouge on the front of the plastic button access door. In the last six years it has been dropped multiple times between moves during travels with my job, a large dent in the side, and door on the front has been ripped off due to missuse by people other than myself. I have still not experienced any problems with this model it's picture quality is still just as good as the day I bought it, although the 19" I bought a full decade ago is only now starting to dim and darken. For it's picture quality an reliability alone I highly recommend any Panasonic, but only if you want to get a great deal for your money, and your dollar to go far beyond expectations.

Another unsatisfied owner - Elementary Teacher - Virginia
We bought this TV a few years ago, and we were very happy with it. However, one morning it just stopped working. We don't watch a lot of TV so it has not had a lot of wear and tear. It should have lasted longer than it did.



Not worth the money - Alan Stokes -
I purchased this television in early 2005 and the picture went out a couple of months ago (May 07). I paid around 0 for it at Circuit City and from reading the reviews, I don't guess it will do any good to contact Panasonic and will not be worth the money to pay for it to be repaired. I have a Panasonic 40" LCD Projection TV that has been working fine for 4 years but I will not purchase another Panasonic television ever again. Do not waste your money!!!!!



Nice HD set - Frank J. Monahan - Houston, Texas
For the price, I am much impressed with the picture on the Panasonic, the HD pics are very sharp and clear. At the time I bought it (2004) there were no other HDTVs close to the price. Still today it has provided me with trouble-free operations. I highly recommend it for a smaller HD set
