A stylish, feature-rich 27-inch set doesnt have to cost a fortune. Toshibas 27A44 offers a high-contrast, FST Black picture tube, stereo sound with a double-baffle speaker system, and a host of inputs--from standard RF (for antenna, VCR, or cable box) all the way to high-resolution component-video (for DVD players, satellite receivers, and digital video recorders). Front-panel connections make it easy to hook up a camcorder or gaming console, while the built-in GameTimer feature offers a convenient way to limit set use. The 27A44 offers picture-enhancing technology, too--its 3-line digital comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a characters striped T-shirt). The 27A44 also features simulated surround sound, V-Chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a 4-device glow-in-the-dark universal remote control.
