Summary: I am not a tech person, I just buy what I like 2005-10-27
Comment: Our 1992 RCA 26 inch screen TV died. And not being one of those families that eschews the TV, we knew we had to replace it soon. It had not been hooked up for High Definition (being an old TV), just regular DirecTV. I figured on getting the same size, foolishly thinking that TV's had gotten more compact over time. Wrong. Todays CRT TV's are huge. The footprint they leave is really big, and the weight can easily top 200 lbs. A similar size TV now would have been just too massive for our room. That left the flat panels. From what I understood, the flat panels, (LCD's and plasmas) do not have a better picture than the Cathode Ray (CRT's) of today, unless they are hooked up to High Definition, which I didn't want. I went to a brick and mortar store to look and was disappointed with the size of the CRT's, and the prices of the flat panel TV's. I explained to the clerk what I wanted, a set that wasn't oversized and heavy, but not a fancy HDTV style one either. He led me to the smaller LCD screens and pointed out this Panasonic (TC-20LA5). It was not HDTV ready, but it had the EDTV feature for enhanced definition. This was especially nice with the DVD in progressive scan mode. This LCD player was lined up with other sets by Samsung, Sony, Polaroid, and Sanyo, and it had the clearest, best picture of them all. It is not computer compatible, but looked like a regular LCD computer screen to me. I would have preferred a few more inches on the screen size, but it wasn't worth the increase in price. This TV weighs about 20 lbs and takes up minimal space. I bought it and did the hook up of it to TiVO and a DVD player and it looks very nice. If you do stand too close, you can see the lines in it, but from watching distance of 7-15 feet, it is nice and sharp, brilliant colors. Don't expect hi-def clarity with this, you aren't paying for that, but you will still get a very fine picture to look at the richness of the colors still amaze me.
Don't buy a turntable for it to sit on so you can change the viewing angles, the stand has its own built in one. I learned that the hard way.
I would highly recommend this TV for those people who aren't into having a total HDTV system, and who want to graduate from the big bulky sets into these more compact sets. I can only hope the reliability is good, as with the higher cost of these, they can't be replaced too often.
