1.0 out of 5 stars Rethink you choice, January 25, 2006

This was a great TV when it worked. I bought the TV in March of 03 and it just recently died on me. I called the repair guy and he said there were some engineering issues with this one. One of the circuit boards is burnt out. The fuse on it is under rated. It has a 6.3 and it should be 7.0. I think the rating should be in the milliamps but I could be wrong. This TV can be fixed if the board is removed and all the connections are reconnected. He can do it for about 300.00 dollars plus the time of bringing it to him and back again. Well, if you remember when you lifted that thing to get it into the entertainment center, it took 2 if not 3 people. It is just not worth it to me. I am scrapping it after less than 3 full yrs use. I am very disappointed in this set.

1.0 out of 5 stars NEVER AGAIN, September 10, 2007

I bought this about 5 years ago and I thought it would last at least 10, I was wrong. At first I thought it was a cable problem but the other "non-panasonic" tvs I have works fine. I have a sony tv for over 12 years and it works better than this one. First it took a while to show a picture then it started taking longer and longer everytime I opened it until the next day it just didn't want to open anymore. Never again will I buy a panasonic, and the funny thing my panasonic vcr broke down about a month ago. Maybe my tv got depressed and decided it couldn't go on without the vcr.

2.0 out of 5 stars 36" Tau, Maybe not for you!!!, March 3, 2002

The Panasonic Tau has the potential to be an excellent television, however I have had some unaddressed techinical problems with it. When there are darker images and flesh tones a "streaking" is observed to make it look like wavey when the faces or other images move slowly. However, the Picture quality in bright conditions is excellent. My daughter watches the movie "A bug's life" and it is amazing on this set. However, skip movies like "The hunt for Red October" unless you like to watch your characters streak.
