that would last a good while. Is there a better 27" TV for under
$200(US)?
How about RCA or Sanyo?

I don't know if a 27" Sanyo is under $200, but the brand is decent, and
many Sanyo models sold by Wal-mart include a 1-year store exchange
warranty.

RCA/GE consumer electronics used to be American, then it was sold to
Thomson, a French company, and last year Thomson sold it to TCL, a
Chinese company.
