Panasonic TV feedback ???'s

[toenail]

My vintage (1987) 35" Mitsu died yesterday. I'm looking for an affordable replacement to span the next few years until I make the HD lead and really blow some dough. I found a Panny at WalMart for $500 that's 32", flat screen and offers component inputs. Primary viewing is standard cable plus DVD with progressive scan. Can anyone offer feedback about this or similar units? See link below.

And I can reccomend them highly. I have the 36" Tau series, and I see that Walmart has the 32" model on special for $682. It's worth the extra $$$, as the Tau is HDTV compatable. It also has a great line doubler in it that makes non-HD broadcasts and DVDs look even better.

I wound up with a Toshiba - 32AF44 "32 CRT flat sceen. Went to Sears to grab a "32 round Toshiba CRT for $350. They sold it to me and when I went around to the loading dock to pick it up they told me they were out of stock. Since I'd called in advance to make sure of inventory levels I was not pleased about having my money tied up and no product to show for it. Went back in and dickered the guy down to $450 for the flat screen.

So far so good. Component only allows for 480i not 480p though. Can't make the most of my DVD player.
