Sony KV27FS12 27" Trinitron WEGA Stereo TV
Fantastic Picture
This is THE best tv I have ever owned.  After the cable guy hooked up my tv, the first thing he said was &quot;wow that's a great picture&quot;.  I also own a 19&quot; trinitron monitor for my computer. I never even considered another brand.  Sony makes the best electronics period.  It's worth the extra money to get a product you know is the best.  The popping sound experienced when the set is turned on is a built in feature.  It disperses electromagnetic charges that can build up from the earth's magnetic field.  It states this in the manual.  My computer monitor does the same thing.  I've never had a poping noise when changing channels.  No problems whatsoever with this tv.  Fantastic picture, flat screen, bright.  Short of High Definition, this is the best picture possible.
