Panasonic's 36" CT-36HX42 is packed with exciting performance and features. This is one of our more affordable 36" HDTV-ready models, but the picture quality is plenty impressive — images are bright and punchy, anchored by deep, rich blacks. Unlike regular curved screens, Panasonic's totally flat PureFlat™ screen adds no distortion or reflected glare. You'll enjoy distraction-free viewing no matter where you sit in the room.
If local HDTV signals are available in your area, all you need to do is connect a separate HDTV tuner to start enjoying free HDTV! If you haven't yet seen a 1080i HDTV broadcast, you're in for a treat. The clarity and realism is absolutely amazing — you really have to see it to believe it.
A built-in Progressive Scan Doubler converts interlaced video sources to progressive scan, for a better-looking picture on your regular broadcast, cable, and satellite programs, as well as sources like DVD, or a VCR or camcorder. With progressive scanning, you'll no longer see the horizontal scan lines that are often visible in ordinary TV images.
With 6 A/V inputs, the CT-36HX42 is definitely ready for today's multi-source home theaters. Two wide-bandwidth component video inputs let you connect a regular or progressive-scan DVD player and a separate HDTV tuner. Dual RF inputs are included for your antenna and/or cable TV connections.
