I want a new TV

[Fingolfin269]

I just bought a bunch of new furniture for the condo and finally decided to turn my bedroom into a bedroom. All of my PC equipment, which also served as my TV, is now up in my new office.

So, I am in the market for a good value priced LCD set. It would be nice if it had a DVD combo built in but not required. Widescreen would also be a plus. I'm not looking for a mammoth set so something 19-20" would be nice.

Any suggestions?

At what distance wil you be viewing it?

A 19 inch set in my bedroom would look like a postage stamp from where I'm viewing it.

No idea what the distance is but I used to watch movies just fine from my 19" PC monitor. I'm not looking for a home theater experience or anything.

budget?

from a quick look around the Hot Deal forum, I'm sure you can get a decent price on a slightly larger LCD TV too. But if you want a small one there you go

The main reason I said 19-20" was mostly based on budget. However, I just left HH Gregg where I saw a Westinghouse 32" LCD with front-load DVD player for only $799. It's HH Gregg so I can negotiate so I'm sure I could get for for $700 without much trouble.

Has anyone had experience with this brand as far as LCD TVs go?

No personal experience, but I have seen a few different reviews for Westinghouse TV's, and most of them have a lot of good things to say. Good value for the money is the consensus.

NEC 20WGMX2: Yeah its a computer monitor, but it can double as a great tv too. Only 1080i capable, but not many sub 20 inch lcds will be 1080p capable.
