- I'm pretty pleased with my Zenith 27 inch set. Note that Zenith makes three
- different 27 inch sets (other mfrs do similar things). I bought the top of
- the line unit. It has a the words "Digital" on the top right of the frame.
- You have to read the specs and look carefully, because they all look very
- similar.
-
- Anyway, it has color picture in picture, surround sound and of course is
- stereo. The PIP is nice: You still need the VCR to drive it (it doesn't
- have two tuners), but they've done some neat things with it. You can
- watch the VCR and have three little pictures scan the last three channels
- you were watching. There's an SVHS jack on the back as well as the usual
- audio out jacks.
-
- I've had it for over a year and have no complaints. Well, I do have one.
- The words on the instruction decal under the bottom of the remote wore
- off after about three months. I wrote Zenith and asked them for a new decal.
- They mailed me a photocopy of the instruction page from the manual. :(

- You're welcome.
