Panasonic CT-27SX11 27" Tau Pure Flat Screen TV
Better than Toshiba 27AF41
Like another reviewer, I bought the Toshiba 27AF41 first. I returned it for two reasons -- (1) couldn't get the picture quite right, even tho it was the most impressive in the store, and (2) my wife couldn't handle how garishly SILVER the Toshiba is.  It draws too much attention to itself, in an otherwise quietly decorated room.<BR>The Panasonic CT27SX11, to my knowledge, after shopping quite a bit, is the only 27&quot; flat screen TV to come in a near-black case. And although it didn't show up in the reviews, the picture seems nicer than the Toshiba.   Also considered:  Sony has its advantages, and its silver/gray cases are not as shiny as Toshiba.
