I have the GE counterpart. It's a good set if you use something other than the internal tuner for tv. The tuner board in mine is intermittent at best. I only use Video 1, 2 and S-Video as viewing sources. If you have a VCR you can bypass the internal tuner if your set has/gets the same problem as mine.

Big point: How many inputs does it have?

Older TV's have jacks for Composite, SVideo so it looks like it can handle multiple sources, but in reality the TV auto-switches to the highest quality source. This is a problem when our equipment often is a mix of all 3 types.

Make sure the remote allows you to switch between sources and you should be fine.

When you get the TV home, let it settle in for a few weeks as the physical move will shake things up a bit. Then try the Avia or Video Essential DVD to adjust the brightness/contrast/colors.
