Hdtv?

[trains are bad]

Walmart here has a 27" RCA HDTV monitor (no internal tuner) for under $300. Isn't that like really cheap? You think they mislabeled it?

What about brands, are like sonys better than other TVs? I like sony stuff in general, except car speakers and amps.

For mass market consumer electronics, I've never been disappointed by either Sony or Toshiba. They're not "high end" but you could do far worse and the reliability for either is typically top-notch. I would put either at the head of their class for price/performance/dependability. I've been very impressed with Philips over the past three to five years, especially considering the price that Philips products typically come in at. Personally, I would pass on RCA brand products. RCA televisions are OK, but their products, particularly DVD players, leave a lot to be desired, so I've soured on the brand in recent years.

Whatever you do, run as far away in the other direction of Samsung as is humanly possible.
