Toshiba 27A41 27" TV

Rating:
Summary: Great value for this price and category of TV.
Review: This set has good picture quality but the sound quality of the built in speakers are poor and tinny. You will need additional audio components for this to work in a medium/large room. However, the unit is not Dolby Surround compatible.

Review: This TV is great. It was rated a consumer reports best buy (technically it was the 27A51, but the only difference is that the A51 has PIP (picture in picture), which anyone who has PIP knows you use it for about the first week you own the tv, and then totally forget about it because it is really not that useful, and not worth the hassle of operating it.). Anyway, it has all the good inputs, like S-video, and component video for use with a dvd player. I have a VCR, DVD, and game system all hooked up at the same time. There is also a hidden set of inputs in the front which is nice for video games or when you want to hook up your camcorder or something. I have to admit that i don't really use the speakers that much because i have home theater kit, so i cannot attest to how good the sound is. The picture is always excellent, the remote is good and very easy to use. The on-screen menu is also very easy to use, and you can easily program your remote to control your vcr, and cable box, no matter the brand. I have a single pathetic complaint: The infrared specturm that reads the signal from the remote is not very wide, meaning that if you are way off to the side of the tv, it won't read the remote, but that is truly my only complaint.
