Toshiba 27A41 27" TV
Exceptional!
No better TV for the money. Period. Outstanding picture. Good sound. Nice set design with a commendably small footprint and a near-flat screen. All the features and inputs/outputs you need, nothing you don't. Excellent value.  Edit, Jan 10 2012: I *still* have this TV (can't believe it's been over 10 years) and it's still great! The picture remains as sharp, bright, and clear as when new. It's not HD, of course, but for SD programming its picture is much better than any plasma or LCD television. And there's something about a CRT image that's richer and warmer than what a flat-panel can manage. I'll soon be in the market for a new wide-screen HD set, but I'll still keep this one around for as long as it lasts. And after 10 years with no signs of degradation, that might be a very long time.
