As Bryan states, you really can't go wrong with Panasonic.
Sony and Toshiba were nice, but the CRT's did not have the longevity, so take a good look at the picture.

I have a 1991 Toshiba CRT "flat screen 27" with one S-video (SVHS) input that's looking soft in the last 7 years of daily use. The dark scenes are not black, but a slight shade of green, indicating poor cutoff of green gun.
I found it at a private school in the surplus AV equipment room. It had low hours due to any early vertical collapse that was not fixed with a new IC. It was an obscure 1mf-50V cap nobody could find. Otherwise it woulda been tossed 10 years ago.
