Toshiba 36A40 36" TV
Best Tube for the money
I shopped extensively online and offline for a new TV to replace my Mitsubishi.  The Toshiba came through repeatedly in my research as the best big tube TV.  Hook this up to the Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream and you will be amazed at the color quality and resolution. I also take advantage of the Picture in Picture to channel surf or watch two ballgames at once.  Yes, you could pay more for a flatter screen TV, but why?
