hi all...



well i am very happy that best Buy has a good return policy, as I am turning in their Insignia for another tv.



in the 27" size, they have


---samsung txr2735


---jvc av27w36


---philips 27pt5445/3


---sharp 27f541



and a larger toshiba, the 27af45....maybe it looks better than the eyestrain model.



All have componet video, all are 27 "



I wonder which has the better picture for all i do with my tv, play console games and watch a few dvds AND last a few years!



thanks...freestone



Why dont you go an View them ,then YOU can then make the decision to which one has the best picture How do you think that someone on here can do that for you.

yikes

oh i was just wondering more about the quality of the engineering, mostly!

i can see the sets all in a line, all set up so over contrasted and overbright, on the shelf at the store, but what about the inards that lie within?!

According to CU, the most reliable sets are (in order from most reliable to least)

Sanyo Sharp Toshiba Sony Phillips Panasonic JVC Samsung Zenith GE RCA

Sharp looks like the best bet from a reliability point of view

Good return policy!?! Best Buy is well known to have one of the worst. Some stores charge a 15% restocking fee on everything. If you're a member of Sam's Club or Costco, check there for a good 27" TV and you'll save quite a bit over Best Buy. Even Walmart at least has a 90 day return policy and will be cheaper than Best Buy.

Look at them at the store and decide which one looks best. Don't forget to adjust the brightness and contrast correctly, it's never anywhere close when you take the thing out of the box and the best sets will look like crap if not set up right.

IMHO, Toshiba make very good TVs. My personal TVs are a Toshiba 40" RPTV and a 32" CRT model. Both are 100Hz scan models, which IMO makes a huge difference to the old brain, but that's down to personal tolerance. I also play games and find it very relaxing on both TVs.
