Just go find a set with the picture and features you like. The differences
between all sets are getting less and less. There is no longer a brand that
knocks the others out. All brands have made adjustments to quality so they
can compete in price. That's about it...

Go see if any of them have one of the 27" flat screen Zeniths. It'll
knock
your eyes out.

Later on, look at the repair bill, it'll knock your wallet out!

A little joke.

Zeniths made in Springfield, MO that are
20 years old, and will still throw an awesome picture.

That's 20 years ago. We are talking about Zenith within the span of
seven
years. They made some good sets in the past, specifically during the
early to
mid 1980s. However, their sets from the late 1980s and up to now are
not
that
great. There are better, higher quality choices out there from Japanese
brands.

And if you want to make the little lady
happy, they still make consoles.

So does Thomson with some of their RCA console offerings.

Buy with your eyes, and support your
local economy.

If you mean supporting an "American" company, think again. Zenith is no
longer
an American company. It is now owned by LG, which is based in South
Korea, and
has been for almost five years.


No **** Sherlock. Didnt I say local economy?





Zenith is as much of an American company as
RCA is today. That point is quite valid as RCA is also not an American
company
anymore, being owned by Thomson, which is controlled by France. RCA
went
kaput
as a corporate entity in 1986 and was bought by GE. GE would later sell
RCA to
Thomson, keeping only NBC to themselves.

Thinking about a new Magnavox, Sylvania, or Emerson television? They
are
currently controlled by Funai, and they are one of the manufacturers
which
has
earned the title of being the epitome of cheap crap in my informed
opinion.


Thanks for the lesson in common knowledge information.





Screw the discount chain stores, especially Wal-Mart.

Now, now. Some, but not all, of Wal-Mart's offerings are decent. They
do
sell
Panasonic, just not a very good variety of that brand. For bargain
fodder
sets
at Wal-Mart, consider Sanyo or Orion. You might even consider Philips,
although I don't care that much for their current offerings at this
time.
The
rest that's there you can forget about. - Reinhart

They also sell Pioneer big screens, which are excellent TVs, but only from
their web site. What they have on the floor has paid the rent for many
repair shops, especially RCA.
