? for the DIS 'Consumer Reports' on TV's

[KimRaye]

Seems pretty mundane but, is there any advice on TV's? Our living room TV blew/busted something tonight. All we get is a line across the middle of the screen and, sound. We don't have any free time to go looking for a new one until this weekend so.....What's the scoop on TV's?

We have to get a 27" to fit the entertainment center, btw. So, no BIG SCREEN suggestions, ok?

TIA,
Kim

I am a big believer in plain old TV's. I have a 13" Sharp, a 27" Toshiba, 27" Sharp and a 32" Sharp. The 32" was less than the 27".

We have had the small sharp for about 12 years and the 27" for about 8-9 years with no repair and being moved a couple times. I could not be happier with that brand. The Toshiba is also good. In the past I had an RCA that was repaired so many times I lost count. We also had a Mitsubishi that was really good for a lot of years.

That's my experience with our family.

We've used Sanyo (I know, I can hear the snickers already) for 3 years now & they've worked great. Inexpensive and very sturdy tv's!

Oh, also, if all else fails, go flat panel you'll worship it if you do!

Consumer Reports Magazine highly recommends the
Toshiba 27A43 27'' TV. We just got one about a month ago.
So far, so good!

Go with Toshiba the 27 flat is a great TV no problems at all with it. I have a 32" SONY vega that has been nothing but trouble We had the tube replaced at 6 months and have had the tuner fixed 3 times since new all under warranty. The tube is going again nice red and blue lines all around the screen so I will never buy another SONY again. We love our 43" Samsung DLP.
