Panasonic TX-36DT35 36" TV

It is often said that purchases prompted by a disaster are the least considered and consequently the poorest in terms of value for money. Those thoughts were a factor when we pondered on what to do when our daughter managed to push our television off it's stand. The obvious solution would be to buy a flat screen television but it seemed that to get something outstanding you had to pay a fortune. A study of "Which" reports helped, in terms of quality, Sony and Panasonic seemed to dominate both flat screen and Cathode Ray Tube models; a remark that the latest technology perhaps didn't perhaps produce a better picture prompted a search on ebay. A Panasonic TX-36DT35 36" TV soon became a short listed item and varying prices emerged. Within 24 hours we'd bid and brought a set for £150. With the price of sets still falling the value for money element is always going to be questionable but as I look at the incredible picture this not a factor, it explained why people were prepared to pay £2500 just a couple of years ago. It is a big set, in volume this not a problem, tuck it in a corner and it doesn't dominate a room but, and this is a big but, it is extremely heavy. Two champion weight lifters represent the minimum moving requirement, but once positioned sit back and enjoy what is still one of the best viewing experiences available.
