    There's also a geometry problem on the bottom left, on something with a ticker it gets cut off on the bottom left, makes it look like it slopes from the right side to the left. I can tell on the DTV Guide too, because there's more empty space on the bottom right than bottom left.
    Yep. The geometry issues are why I didn't follow through on exchanging my 51inch PR tv in for the smaller slimfit. Seems to be a trend with all slimfits CRTs...from what I've read.

      I got the warranty on it, so they're sending a technician out to look at it. If they can't fix it I'll just return it.

        Most likely the blurry text will be fixable, but not the geometry issues. The slimfits are notorious for that, although its about the only negative on that tv.

          The geometry problem isn't that big of a deal to me cause I don't notice it other than on ESPN.

          The blurriness in that upper left part of the screen is annoying though.

                I'm thinking of getting the JVC AV27F577 27" CRT

                Are there any opinions on this? I think it's a new model and it's hard to find reviews. How about JVC's in general?

                Thanks

                    Excellent choice, IMO. Youll love the Sony.

                        No you don't get espnhd for free. you gotta get the plan from the cable company and their box to get premium hd channels.

                          pf03ho: if you come in here from your locked thread, do NOT get the 55" Hitachi. We've had problems with them at work, and the pic quality isnt that good. The 50" Panasonic you posted is THE way to go.

                                I've seen them both right next to each other at the store and didn't see a difference in picture quality at all to be honest. You can't go wrong with any of those TV's though. Just go to best buy and check them out in person first.

                                Also, you can get those two TV's for a smaller price at amazon.com.
