Panasonic CT27SX31 27"  TAU Pure Flat Screen TV
Great picture but a bit too dark.
I narrowed down my search to this Panasonic and the Toshiba 27AF61. I chose the Panasonic because I found an excellent deal at a local merchant which made the price ... less than the Toshiba. I only have one major gripe about this tv in particular; the picture is significantly darker than the Toshiba. It's usually not a problem, but when you're watching a dimly lit scene, you lose a lot of the detail in the shadows. You can [turn] up the brightness to compensate, but then you get blacks that are grey. If you're going to spend the extra on a flat tv, it's most likely because you care about the picture. If that's the case, keep this review in mind and go for the Toshiba.
