So I've decided on getting an Insignia 27" HDTV or the 27" Sony WEGA Trinitron SDTV.

The Insignia is an off brand I know. But a lot of my friends have off brands, SDTV and HDTV, and the picture is just as good as the Sony's I already have in my house.

The Insignia HDTV is also cheaper than the Sony SDTV.

So should I just get the off brand now? When I move out of my parent's house (I'm 16 by the way) in about a year and a half I'm going to buy a new TV anyways. The Insignia should hold out long enough until I can get a real job instead of the sh!t one I have now, right?

People either have really good experiences with off brands or really bad experiences with them. So would the off brand be the wrong choice? My older brother has 2-3 off brand TVs and the picture is just as sharp as the Sony in my living room.

Basically I just need some reassurance I'm making the right choice. I have changed my mind daily for the last 2 weeks.

Also the TV I have now in my room is only going to last about another month, so I don't have time to wait and save up. Its picture is terrible, its 13 years old, and it takes 16 minutes to start up. And it gets worese everyday. 

It's either the Insignia HD or Sony SD.
