Am finally replacing my 20 yr old TV due to incompatibility with my VCR,
shop
advises repair cost outweighs practability.
Does anyone have advice of TV brands not to consider? The major brand
names I
am somewhat familiar with, but there are many names I have not heard of
prior
to shopping. I am in the US. Thanks in advance.

Check with your local TV Tech. He knows which ones are junk. (most are) Or
buy a copy of Consumer Reports. Japanese made stuff is still pretty good.
