I bought BOTH models recently, the Sony for the living room and the Toshiba
for a second set downstairs.

The Sony has an outstanding picture, although the geometry is far from
perfect. This is only noticeable when I am watching channels with text
boxes.

The Toshiba is not better on the geometry. And the sharpness, vividness,
and colour are no match for the KV27FS100. I got a helluva deal on it at my
local Sam's Club, but I took it back tonight for a refund. In fairness, I
doubt this set is aligned properly but I don't want to go through the hassle
of trying to get it serviced.

I would go for the Sony even if you have to pay $210 (Canadian) more than
for the Toshiba as I did

Hi, I read every single one of your suggestions, and decided that it'd
probably be worth it to ditch the Apex and RCA options that were
previously
recommended to me and spend $100-150 more on a better quality TV. After
doing some research and looking at some of your suggestions, I've
tentatively narrowed it down to 3 models:

Sony KV27FS100
Toshiba 27AF43
Panasonic CT27SL13

Any additional thoughts on the above models are appreciated. Also, I'd
appreciate some thoughts on whether spending a bit extra for a 27" TV with
the PIP option is worth it and some suggestions for a reasonably priced
27"
PIP TV. And for the guy who suggested I get that 32" Toshiba TV in the
same
price range, my thinking is that, as a single, apartment dweller who moves
around a bit, a 27" TV would be a bit easier than a 32" for a single
person
to manuever around (in terms of a 27" being a bit lighter and easier to
grip
and carry since they are a bit smaller than 32" TVs).
