Price Paid:  $229.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I bought this television at Best Buy when it was on sale for $229. At first I was a little scared because the price was so cheap. But after a little comparisons with other tv's I found that this one was the best one in the 200-300 range. Although it doesn't have the picture of a Sony Wega or a flat screen it does have an extroardinarily clear and sharp picture. It does great with my Sony DVD player and other digital sources. I am very pleased with this set and I would purchase again if needed.

Strengths:
Very sharp picture and not very expensive

Weaknesses:
No S-Video

Similar Products Used:
Admiral, Goldstar, Panasonic, Sansui

Summary:
I did my homework prior to going out to buy a tv and I still spent at least two hours in Best Buy comparing before I purchased. I didn't find enough models that had the rear video inputs. I do not play video games, so I did not want soley front inputs. Glad this one has both! It was the best of the 25" and 27" tv's I looked at and reasonably priced. I would buy it again.

Strengths:
Front/Rear video/Audio input terminals, good picture

Weaknesses:
very bulky, hard to fit in armoir

Price Paid:  $229.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
Very strong bang-for-the-buck value here.
I compared quite a few similar 25-inch TV's in this price range, and for quality picture, good reliability, features, this model is tough to beat.

Strengths:
Picture and sound are very good. Easy to figure out and set up.

I like that it automatically shifts to hearing-impaired-style subtitles whenever you have the mute on for a few seconds. That way, you can follow the dialogue even if the sound is muted for a phone call or something.

Weaknesses:
There is a delay at each channel when flipping through them with the remote. That's about it.
