I am in the market to buy a color tv. I used to own a 19" Sony which turned out to be a baloney. In 5 years I spent about $150 on repairs and finally the picture tube gave out and the TV had to be junked. Recently I looked at Mitsubishi/MGA. It is pretty expensive. 19" $619, 21" $759 and 25" is $859. Does any one have any suggestions regarding not too expensive but good set. I have read consumer reports on console TVs. It rate all to reasonably good but I find it hard to believe. I need cable ready with remote. Does any one have any experience with sylvania or mitsubishi. Thanks in advance. abhay

I have bought one 17" MGA and two 19" ones during the last few years. (The 17" for me and the 19's as gifts). They have cable ready and remote. I have nothing but praise for these products. The 19" ones have a built-in FM radio of surprising good quality that can be used for simulcasts and so forth. My sister owned an MGA purchased about 1970 which gave a beautiful picture for 12 years with no problems. Then it went to black and white and the repair was estimated at $75, so she replaced it. Highest recommendations. Mike Gray, BTL, WH

We've had a Mitsubishi MGA 17" (?) for four years, and it has worked so reliably I've never thought twice about it. Had to double-check what kind it was!
