I just got a Zenith from Circuit City, and I'll compare it to the RCA I got with the first coupon. Insignia is the house brand for Best Buy; identical to the LG-built Zenith.

I like the fact that the Zenith is in a metal case, and is heavier. The remote is nicer to hold than the RCA too. Only downer is that the RCA is $10 cheaper than the others, so if it performs the same, then I can't see spending the extra $10. After all, most of us will hide these boxes and pretend they aren't there with our vintage sets
