Mates,My old (c.1990) Sony 27" television machine appears to be on it's way out, having never been quite the same after it fell in the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
I'm debating whether to repair this one (est. $150 for tuner board) or get another set and would appreciate suggestions for brands and models 27" or 32" with good quality and features. I have a Pioneer 434 DVD and Sony VHS but my current set has only three source inputs- antenna, cable and VCR. I use my old Marantz 2235 receiver for sound occasionally, but have to switch cables between VCR and DVD. May I assume that new sets have multiple inputs?
As my Sony is my only second TV and I bought it more than 10 years ago, I'm out of touch in the TV world. Budget is up to $500- any brands generally or models that are esp. good for the price? Amazingly, the old 27" Sony cost about $750 but I see ads for 27" sets today under $400.
Any insights are appreciated- Thanks!

Many tvs today have multiple inputs, with discreet selector buttons on the remotes to switch, so there's less need to run the video signals thru a receiver, instead straight from source to video monitor, for better performance.Are you aware of the Gov. mandate to switch over to a totally digital video system by 2007? Right now they are basically giving away standard def. analog 4:3 screen sets, due to the availability of widescreen units. So you could buy one of these assuming that it was "disposable", to be replaced with a widescreen/hi-def unit later.
Not sure if your budget will allow a widescreen now..although that would be better for your DVD playback. Someone else may be able to help you out there.
