Great TV for the price 5
i have had this tv since january of this year and i've been nothing but impressed with it. picture quality continues to be great when hooked up to an HD receiver. PiP, and split screen options on this tv are a nice touch. the remote control response is quick and you can program it for use with a DVD player and other AV equipment.

the tv is heavy and bulky for it's size. i would recommend having another person help you mount it on your tv stand. don't skimp out on the tv stand, because the tv looks real nice when coupled with a decent looking stand. i recommend Bello, and here's the one picked up with it.

Too Soon To Tell if it's Fantastic... 4
Panasonic Widescreen: Take 2.

Our 16:9 Panasonic CT-30WX52 bit the dust after 2 years, and was replaced under warranty with this new CT-30WX54 in December 2004. Instantly my wife and I noticed a huge difference with the colour quality, richness and clarity. However, the new TV is larger, heavier, and much uglier than our beautifully designed 30WX52, and, we also did find problems with the TV on the very first day.

Problem #1.
The ZOOM setting did not function as it was designed to. When we watch widescreen shows such as "ER", "Enterprise" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", we use the ZOOM setting to achieve widescreen. But the picture was being compressed vertically (stretched horizontally). The TV was immediately sent back to the store and after 8 long, agonizing weeks, it was returned to us, still not fixed. Emails to Panasonic customer service failed to resolve the problem and the technician from the store had to come directly to our house to try and fix the problem. After a very complex procedure on our own remote (I watched him do it), he was able to access a secret factory menu and adjust the screen setting. We are now pleased that the picture is accurate in ZOOM mode. If you own this TV, and notice stretched images (people look unnaturally fat) it is likely your TV was not set up properly at the factory as well.

Problem #2.
This is not so much a problem as it is a lack of a feature that the old CT-30WX52 had, and I miss. This new model does not have a Degauss feature, which is surprising because it does still have the geomagnetic correction, which is very useful.

So, due to the very inconvenient incorrect ZOOM set-up, and the lack of the Degauss feature, I can only rate this TV 4 stars for now, and only time will tell if it deserves that fifth star, or if the picture tube fails on this one, just like our last one.

Because of our past experiences, I am not confident in Panasonic's ability to create reliable electronics, but so far this TV is faring well.

I luv it!! 5
I just purchased this television from walmart at a verrry good price. Originally I was looking for a bigger screen TV but I couldn't pass this one up. The picture and sound are great and I love that the universal remote is automatically programmed for panasonic equipment. I was shocked when I went to turn up the tv volume and it turned up the volume on my receiver instead. Overall I'd say this TV da bomb!

Best TV for the price 5
I read dozens of reviews before buying this set. I've had it for about 2 months now and can't get over how great the picture looks. Whenever friend's come over and see it for the first time they are totally amazed. I got this set because I wanted improved picture quality over my 27" Wega but couldn't afford Plasma or LCD. Widescreen is the way to go if you watch a lot of dvd's or HD. I watch programs I wouldn't normally watch just to see the HD picture. I got the HDMI cable which connects to my Comcast cable box and digital audio connections from the cable box and dvd player - I also upgraded to a progressive scan dvd player which works better with an HD set. I often use my Panasonic home theater system for sound but the speakers do sound really good. My only criticism besides the size of the set (no surprise there - you know what you are getting - and don't try to lift this thing yourself) is that the yellows and greens are just a tad off which I notice most when watching football with the green grass and yellow first down marker - I can't seem to get the yellow perfect with the tint control. I wish sets had individual color controls - if we can send a man to the moon this doesn't seem impossible. When you watch anything shot in HD it really is like looking through a window. Like going from dial up to DSL once you see HD there is no going back. I only wish I ahad this tv to watch my Sox win the World Series but I'm sure they'll do it again. I got my set at Circuit City for $850 with free delivery which came 2 days later right on schedule.

Best HD-ready TV for the price 5
This 30" TV wasn't as big as I wanted, but I couldn't pass on the price. The picture is amazing, although it did take some tweaking on the color (a little hot on the factory setting) and sharpness. And that's on standard TV. I'll be interested to see what HDTV looks like. One thing not mentioned is the sound is great! The console is heavy also. Overall this TV is as good as any of the other major brands but costs a LOT less.
