Toshiba 32A41 32"  TV
Great Value, Great TV
Bought at [local store] on sale for [money].  Lousy store (don't get me started) but glad I bought this TV.  Set up was very easy - basically plug it in, connect the cable and VCR, and enjoy.<br />This TV replaces a JVC that had served me well for 9 years.  The picture quality on the Toshiba is excellent and the sound is just fine even without using an external amp.  If I connect a DVD player to it, I'll likely also connect my stereo to it then too.<br />Did a lot of research and exploration before picking this box.  The flat panel machines are slightly nicer, but hardly worth the additional cost, and from reviews I've read, are not that reliable.   Besides, those machines are extremely heavy.<br />The JVC machines I looked at often had a distinctive background hum (reviews I saw on a variety of web sites indicate this is not an isolated matter).  The Sony's just seemed overpriced for what you got.  Consumer Reports gives the Toshiba a strong rating, and so far, I agree.
