Add Panasonic to the list as well - their Tau line was top-rated over Sony and others. I've owned two - one was a 27" 16:9 and the other was a 4:3 Monitor, picked up from a local school system - it was their HD monitor. Ironically, it's HD picture was smaller in size than the 27" - but nice 1080i pic nonetheless.

The 27" 16:9 was an import, with dual tuners - one NTSC (HDMI was the only HD compatible portion) and one PAL, I guess. I used it hooked up to a DVR cable box until I got an LCD set. Odd boards inside - looked almost like some of the Philips sets with all the SMD parts on the bottom of the boards.
