Panasonic does not have this model listed on their homepage. I wanted
to see specs as well, but I was SOL. This may be a model marketed
just for Walmart, so it would not appear on their page.

Panasonic does list some low prices on their site. I found the direct
view sets on the page below. Note I think they all are monitors
meaning you would have to use a dish, direct or cable receiver for HD.

I typed "CT-30WC14" into google and came up with some sites. I think
that may be a 2004 model. The ones listed on the Panasonic homepage
most likely are 2005's.
