OK, my TV died sometime this morning, all I have is a line across the screen and audio. Since BB starts in 6 hours I have to go and purchase a new one before then. I don't know what I should be looking for in a TV, haven't bought one since the 90's. My current screen size is 27 inches; I know I don't want projection, probably just a normal TV. Any suggestions before I run out to the store?

You want a regular tube TV? They're so cheap now with everyone going with flatscreen that you could get a pretty big one for cheap. I bought my last TV based on size, price, and liking the remote. Well, that and I have a Phillips VCR and wanted a TV where my remotes would be compatible.

Oh yeah- and that it's stereo and I liked the DVD plugs to be on the side/back instead of the front.

I have to say after my research on the internet and your comments, my friend said she would take me to Bestbuy, I don't drive. I had already researched on the website and we went in and 15 minutes later were walking out with a great TV. Unfortunately it did not fit in her trunk, so we took it out of the box put it in the backseat, and went to my house; and we had to muscle it up the stairs. It is so beautiful, and the color is so much beter than my last TV. I thought I didn't want a flat scrren but I was confusing it with a plasma so I love what we got. It was so hard to get it up the stairs, I know that my friend did the most, I am older ans she is younger but it was hard. Once we got it up and I set it up I could not believe how nice the color was and how crisp it is.

I got a 27 inch flat screen Sharp TV for $321 including tax. I couldn't believe it, the TV that failed cost me $650!! Amazing

Thanks for all your help.
