My only input here is I have a silver cube Sony color TV that my older brother bought in 1981, and it's picture is still fantastic. It probably cost a few bucks more than the competition back then, but 23 years later it's still a great TV. I've bought Sony since.

I work at a broadcast network, and we have nothing but sony here, as do most other networks, its industry standard. I have 2 sony sets at home and I love them to death. Yeah, they cost a little more, but they are worth the cost. The other brand worth taking a look at is Mitsubishi... but I am sticking with the Sony stuff for me.

Dunno what it's like elsewhere, but here in the UK all TVs are silver at the moment, they used to be black... when do you think the change in colour will happen again to force everyone to buy new again?

not sure, my old tv was black this one is silver, the apple imac design trend didnt effect televisions, luckily.

I've been noticing the color of tv's too. It seems that product researchers are convinced we all want silver electronics. Look at the color of cellphones, digital cameras, camcorders, pda's, and Apple flagship computer the G5.
We're probably all going to look back at products of this time and say to ourselves what a tacky strategy it was for product makers to spray paint something silver and pretend to us that it's made of metal.

its better than white plastic and clear-fuschia though.

owned the wega for 1.5 years. it's been fine not a problem, I really like the inputs on the front for connecting cameras and the like.

My Sony 28" widescreen is still rockin... and is still black, even after 4 years constant use.
My new Sony 19" TFT (also in black) rocks my world.
Sony all the way.

I have this and love it. I did a lot of homework and i there were some tvs with more vibrant colors and pictures (only with dvds.) I bought the sony because it was the only big tv that didnt look like shit when watching tv. Ive been very happy with it and i only paid 1400 USD for it.

Good quality tellies yes, but i have to say that i've always been unimpressed with the volume control on sony TVs. Down the lower end of the volume range there doesn't seem to be enough choices, the TV is either too loud and wakes up my girlfriend or too low and i can't hear it.

Check out the Samsung Enhanced Definition TV. I think there's a 27" model that knocks the socks off any 27" Sony. The EDTV is the next best thing to HDTV without paying for the HDTV prices...

you guys are kinda stupid. every company is trying to out run another so they are all trying to push the envelope one way or another. this ear one comoany might have the best Tv while the next it's going to be another, plus very comoany is trying to fullfile every niche of themarket making expensive high quality products and cheap -made-in-mexico crap.
Look at the product that you like. If you have to ask then most likely you are not pro eneough to even notice the difference.

I was having a great conv. about this stuff with my Dad on christmas day. I was trying to explain to him about OEM manufacturing and the false 'cloaking' of products, the signs used to convey quality etc.
Being old he felt nervous as a consumer but I explained how the majority of consumers are deluded vis-a-vis quality anyway. I didnt think I needed a degree in Industrial design to know that.

I'd pick Philips over Sony.

ask a mate that works for sony to get you one..
usually trade price + 15% staff discount.

if your going to buy Philips you might as well go to Radio Shack and get a Realistic or Emery
GARBAGE!
