JVC AV-27120 27" TV
JVC - quality and affordable
I'm a firm believer that a few more $$$ now for quality saves a lot of $$$ in the long run.  After researching TVs with Consumer Reports, I found that JVC has the best customer satisfaction, and has the #1 rated model in a  1999 report.<br />This model lacks the PIP of the one reviewed in CR, but that  appears to be the only difference.  The speakers provide great sound  (although I'll be turning them off and using my amp), it pulls antenna  reception where my old TV just got static, and is easy to use with my  satellite.  The only problem is that I can't get the programmable remote to  run my VCR, but I also haven't called customer service.<br />There are other  27&quot; TVs that are $50 or $100 less, but look at the CR satisfaction  report before choosing these cheaper models.  There are also more expensive  brands, but the additional money doesn't buy much.
