Help me find a small LCD w/o a standby light!

[SpaceHulk]

I am looking for a 19"-23" TV for the bedroom and I can not find one that does not have alight on the front when it is turned off.

RANT ON: Why the hell do I need a light to tell me the TV is off? I can frickin' see that it is off! My electric bill is already high enough without this vampire suking energy while it is off. And for christ's sake, I wan to go to sleep in a room without any lights in it, is that too much to ask?
RANT OFF


Oh, it doessn't need a tuner, I will be using it only for DVD and DirectTV.
Anyway, if you know of a unit that fits my needs please reply, thanks.

My westy does not have a standby light. The status light lights up when it's on. I think it can be turned off.

put some tape on the LED ?

The LED probably uses less electricity than the monitor itself when it's in standby. If you really want to save power. Press the annoying little light and make it turn off.

Bingo. Some electrical tape and you're set.

Not only have you been no help, but you have also missed the point. And in addition, if I press the annoying little light, it would turn the unit on, creating more annoying light and probably some annoying sounds as well.

I feel that I must add this.

Either

1) Turn the power off at the wall when the TV is not going to be used

2) Unplug the TV when not in use.

No electricity usage - saves some dollars
No sounds at night - saves some stress
No lights on at night.... priceless

This option is a good one. If I can't find the display I am looking for, then yes, plan B is plugging it into an outlet with a wall switch. It also means I have to get out of bed to turn it off. Call me lazy but in a world where THESE exist, why not see if the ideal display exists first?

Samsung LCDs have a option to turn off the indicator light I believe.
