can anyone recommend a good 27" television? I am looking for a great picture, flat screen. Don't need HDTV, just something nice around $250-$350 price range. my old 20" just isnt cutting it anymore..

oh and it has to be 27" because its all my armoire will hold.

Thanks!
Jason

The only other TV that is comparable to the Tau, is the Toshiba that RossMAN mentioned. If you could find it at a price that meets your budget, then go for it. However, for $260 you can't go wrong with a Tau.

Agreed, $260 is an incredible price for the nice Panasonic Tau.

To the best of my knowledge, that is the latest model in their 27" line of TVs. Also, Best Buy sells this TV for $520, Target.com $599.

I really don't think you can regret a purchase like that - especially when your saving so much $.
