Best Sony XBR TV ever?

I am finally thinking of getting a larger TV..even though I'
don't care much for television. Anyway, In looking the
Loewe are good, but way too much for me to spend and, the
more I look, the more I like my old Sony 20" original series
Sony XBR. With this in mind, what are your thoughts for the
best picture quality in a 27" or 32" (maybe 36") sized Sony
XBR series? It could be old or new..and it will be limited
to cable broadcast..and DVD/VHS playback.
Thanks
