and see what the "knock-offs" are missing. Often they are missing the comb filters that the Sonys, Toshibas, etc all have. So the lower priced sets look "ass-tacular" (opposite of spectacular) when fed anything other than a component DVD signal (or maybe high quality s-vid). The tube may be the same as the name brands, but the supporting electronics are not up to snuff (e.g., combing problem). And it shows. I would generally avoid them. But it's up to you. You get what you pay for.
