Re: Question for TV experts on new tv
TV's in that size are very inexpensive now and include built in players.
I just saw one, of course, at the grocery store, right next to the produce.
It was so cheap I couldn't believe it, both price and quality.
The name sounded like they also make soysauce and probably do.
Badcaps? Definetely.Jim

Re: Question for TV experts on new tv
low end toshiba tv-vcr-dvd sets are made by orion or funai.junk to avoid.
sanyo is a decent set.
panasonic is ok too.
sharp is ok but they have been slipping lately.
smal mitsubishi sets are rebadged sharps.
sony crt's are short lived in new stuff.
if i had to buy a set today it would be a hitachi as long as they built it.

Re: Question for TV experts on new tv
Philips is quite good, and has been the most reliable colour TV during the early days of colour TV. My 20+ year Japanese-made AWA-Thorn (Mitsubishi) set is still running well, with no repairs required since day one! This goes to show how well-built (and somewhat overdesigned) Japanese equipent used to be.My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

I have to agree with kc8adu Hitachi is an brand that are watching their backs they dont want to get their name "dirty" they have under all my years as an advanced consumer allways provided highest possible quality for the "mid range"
price section remember back in 93-94 when i had mine first hitachi hrd-md50 with an cd player that the laser pickup where defective i checked the price on the laser pickup module and funny was that hitachi had their own "service department" who handled all service issues i think the laser should cost like 130-150$ but their price out to the customer where only like 99$ so by sending the unit to them i saved some money

Re: Question for TV experts on new tv
Part of my job involves entertainment centers for the salon (living room) of a boat.
These large yacht owners are often "frugal".
They seem to be getting these Visio sets, I think from some big dept. store.
This company's goal is units out the door, don't think the clean name is in thier plan.Jim

Re: Question for TV experts on new tv
I was just going to say , that if I had a choice on a smaller tv , I might check out Vizio because they are a Walmart item. Don't know about 20"+ , but 32" LCD is available. The Vizio's seem to be very popular and have a great resale value because of the full-featured inputs on the rear of the set. They can be used as a computer monitor as well.
My second choice would be Panasonic , as they seem to be popping up in the most rare places for sale , because nobody is selling them , they are keeping them. Samsung has a great lineup , but I'm impartial to Toshiba , seeing as Hitachi and Toshiba have been competing since the days of solid state transistors , where the channel selector was gone , and the remotes were in.
