Toshiba 32A50 32" TV
Excellent
I'm a reformed Sony owner.  I got tired of replacing Sony's that prematurely failed.  Fool me once, shame on Sony.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  Goodbye Sony TVs.  But before I got this unit I briefly tried the Panasonic CT27D20.  <br />The Toshiba is excellent.  The DVD picture when contrasted with my antenna shows how bad an antenna connection is -- oh well we mainly just rent movies anyway.  The 32 inch size seems very adequate for widescreen DVD images.  The 27 inch was a little too small.  Of course, 36&quot; would be better.<br />I would buy this TV again based upon its current competition from Panasonic, Sony, etc. in the 32&quot; market.  But I would like to see it include front video inputs and a volume limiter.  Since we mainly use it to watch DVDs the volume limiter is a non-issue (our Panasonic DVD player has a volume limiter.)<br />In the 70's Sony televisions far outclassed everything else.  Their pictures blew away the competition at the time.  But things have changed.  Sony now has nothing over the competition and their reputation is clouded by quality issues.  I think Toshiba, and JVC, may be the current rulers of the tube-tv market.  JVC is Panasonic's upscale cousin and Sony has slipped from its throne.
