Sony KV-27FV15 27" Wega TV
Go For It
I have the latest model, the KV-27FV17.  I suddenly had to replace my 1991 Sony KV27V75 when it passed away.  I really considered no other brand but Sony.  Picture quality was important and I knew that Sony would deliver.  But sound quality was critical as well.  The FV series has superior speakers and sound as compared to the FS series.  The only thing I do not like is the remote control.  If you are over 40, get out your cheaters -- you will have a difficult time reading this remote.  Also of note is that even though this TV has two S-video inputs, one of them is in the front.  And I am not crazy about the styling - gray color and a larger cabinet than my old Sony - but it's the way most manufacturers are going these days.  All in all, you can't lose with this TV.  Plus, there's something about that SONY logo on the set that makes one feel a bit superior.
