Philips TS3259C 32" TV
Good for the money but average overall
I actually bought the 3284 model which has the 3259's tube with a few extra whistles and bells. The picture quality is decent and the sound is satisfactory but I completely agree with the reviewer who experienced  problems with vertical white and black bars continuously appearing when  using a video input source including DVD players. It's rather annoying but  can be eliminated by reducing the contrast, but you lost picture quality in  so-doing. This is very frustrating but overall, I'm satisfied with the  purchase considering the price. I actually don't have cable or satellite )=  but this TV picks up local stations rather well (much better than my  previous top of the line JVC 27090 27&quot; TV). Anyway, it's a good TV for  the budget-minded but it's no Sony and despite Philips' boastings, it is  NOT a flat screen TV. If you want a decent (nothing more) 32 inch picture  for a modest price- it's a good buy.
