This JVC is a good set to get.
Sharp is also a good TV for the price, and is by far the #1 TV I recommend
to my customers that want to spend very little. Sharp build quality and service
rates up there with the best brands, yet their price is near the bottom. But,
pix quality is a tad lower than the best brands. Still, if cash is tight, Sharp
will be alright.
Top brands are Sony, JVC, Toshiba and Sharp (Sharp due to price + build quality).
Bottom suckers for Direct view tube TV's are:
RCA/GE/Proscan, Apex, Phillips, Sylvania, Zenith, Goldstar, Emerson, Funia, Sanyo, plus more.
Other brands like Hitachi, Samsung and Panasonic, or other well known name brands,
fall somewhere in between the Top brands and the bottom suckers.
This is what I do everyday, for the past 15 years. Factory trained on most brands.
Am not a customer service rep, but am the head tech, as well as own and run the joint.
Prior to my own company, worked for the top service center in West Florida.
