inch to 30-inch

I cannot say enough about this TV. Picture is clear and sharp over entire screen. Remote is compact and easy to use. Sound is good even though speakers are underneath picture tube instead of on the sides. Hookups for dvd, vcr, etc are clearly marked and easy to use. Instruction booklet is also written clearly. This TV is clearly a winner in my book.

Actully, I would give it a rating of at least 4.5 stars. After hanging around various showrooms for months, I bought this model from Best Buy a few weeks ago. I brought it home, plugged it in, and it worked beautifully. I rate all aspects of the set as excellent with these exceptions. First, the color purity, the sharpness, and the brightness are really superb, and the image clarity is a real joy. This superb picture quality holds up even when the set is compared to much more expensive models from other makers, and it really deserves praise. However, the geometric quality of the picture seems below average to me because I can see "waviness" when an image moves across the screen, or up and down the screen. A technical friend of mine described it as "a problem with sweep linearity". Maybe my set just needs adjustment, because not everyone notices the waviness. Other nits are that the sound quality seems only about average, and the remote control seems a bit small. Otherwise, it is a near-perfect 27 inch flat screen TV and I think it is a wonderful bargain.
