Toshiba 32AF41 32" FST Pure Flat Screen TV
Best Purchase of 2002
There are so many \\"bests\\" associated with this purchase I hardly know where to start.  The picture quality is fantastic.  The sound quality superb.  The flat screeen looks like a million even when its not turned on!  I love the remote control.  Its very user friendly.  I have had a 25 inch Toshiba for 15 years.  This was the replacement for it.  As the old Toshiba is still works like the day I took it out of the box, it is going to mom and dads to replace a \\"dead\\" samsung which is at least 7 years newer!  I strongly suggest that you limit your choices for TVs between Sony and Toshiba.  The last off-brand I bought whined (that irritating high pitched variety) so bad I took it back to the store.  With respect to flat screens, there is little difference in price so let your eyes decide between the Sony and Toshiba.  I have a Toshiba DVD player and hooked it up to the color stream connections.  WOW!  I never thought that you achieve such picture quality at home.  The Technics amplifer works great to augment the sound quality as well.  The bottom line is if you are looking for a 32 inch flat screen, this may be the one.  One last note.  The delivery guys were great.  Even took it out of the box for me and let me plug it in before they left.  They would have carried the set upstairs to the master bedroom if that was its ultimate destination.  If that had been the case, it would have a been a lifesaver given the set weighs 170 pounds!  As it was, they placed it, at my request, within 10 feet of its ultimate destination (which gave me the opportunity to clear out the old set and install the new one within a couple of hours).  Keep all that in mind if you are thinking about buying one locally and picking it up from the store.  Thanks Amazon!
