I have been looking all around HTS forums for a while searching for the best 27" tv solution. So far I've narrowed it down to the WEGA, JVC D-Series 501 or 800, a 29" PC monitor, or the Panasonic true flat. I need something that can fit in my current cabinet (27" roughly, primarily due to depth restrictions), I believe there is enough room on either side for one of the more rectangular models. However I am unable to locate any definative point comparison on any of the TV's above. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Oh, I'm also "trying" to stay around $500-$600. Thanks!

I've narrowed it down to the Panasonic CT-27SF37 27" SuperFlat TV and the JVC AV-27D501 27" "D-Series" TV. I do have a few questions about them though that I'm hoping you guys can help me with.What is the line res for the Pan? The JVC is 700.
I noticed the Pan has 3 digital comb filters, the JVC has two. Is this something I should be swayed by? I read about dot crawl and color bleeding, but since you guys may have these, is it an issue worth analyzing?
Does the Pan have a front-panel A/V input?
The Pan seems to be loaded with a lot more audio features, not needed due to stereo, etc., and is $100 more from Crutchfield. Are any of the bonus, found in the Pan not the JVC, must haves?Thanks for the assistance.
I suggest you look at www.pricescan.com first for the prices.
...I would say Philips offers the best for a money paid, and a service is easy. Grundig, if you are in Europe, it's a king of all TVs. And a Sony because a good remote controlers. About the picture... they are all same if they are the same price, but the sound is another story. RCA has finaly changed their model to better.
My personal opinion is... You really have to be an "expert" to make a bad TV today. Go for featueres they have, not for a quality.
Not sure what you mean by "best". In our neck of the woods the picture quality does not vary dramatically between brands although personally I'm not impressed by Panasonic TVs although I vote their videorecorders the best in the business.I suggest you talk to a technician. Modern gear has the electronics very crammed up. This is bad from 2 viewpoints - ventillation (& component life) and ease (so cost) of servicing. A technician could point you towards the most reliable brands and then you can choose the picture and features from this list.
If you are likely to use DVD then make sure the TV has a component input - vastly superior to S-video.
Good hunting.

NOTE: Basically, I'm looking for something that is close to a monitor in quality, but not super expensive and somewhat practical. I can't afford HDTV and would like to use it for consol gaming and DVDs.
HDTV can wait. Read the lastest Stereophile Guide to Home Theatre to see why. There are a number of 27" on the market and they are more or less similar, depending on where you are. I found the JVCs to offer the most features for the lowest price in my area, but prices do vary. It is also getting close to Xmas so sales will start soon. HOWEVER, to get 'monitor' quality you may have to spend more than your budget.
Yeah, thats what I expected of the monitor quality. I was leaning towards the JVC 501/801. Thanks for all the helpful feedback!
