It finaly happened my old crt tv is starting to die. so I need to look into buying a new one the old one is a 27 inch crt, I would like a screen about the same size. cost is an obstruction, but i'm willing to pay the price for quality and longevity. I will have to buy mail order so i'm looking for suggestions from those of you all who have purchased some of the different brands out there. pro's and cons on picture quality and longevity.
