After looking at a host of tube HDTVs, I chose the Zenith C32V28 as the only reasonably priced model that allowed full use of the digital circuitry: I was able to conveniently display a computer output at a reasonable (800x600) resolution. I can permanently connect a dedicated PC in the back, and can connect my laptop to the front. The only disappointment: you can't put the computer display in a PIP window. As a TV, the Zenith has a great picture (the factory color presets were too saturated for me, but can be adjusted), good but not excellent sound, and a good array of controls and features. I wish there were 2 HDTV level inputs instead of one, so you could connect a non-interlaced DVD player as well as HDTV. Overall, a good buy for the money.

Shortly after hooking it up to the cable box, I noticed a translucent blue green bloch about 3 inches in diameter in the upper left corner of the screen. I tried different sources (dvd) and various settings, but it didn't change anything.

Aside from that, I simply could not adjust the picture such that the colors looked as good as my old sony analog tv which I had running beside it for comparison. The difference in resolution was very noticable, however the color on the zenith was inferior (in my opinion) to the sony (especially on skin tones).
