My beloved ancient tv that was given to me is dying, so I need to find a new one.
I need suggestions for a small, maybe 19 inch one for my bedroom.

That is a good value.turbo-1 said:If you are not a nut about sound quality, want the ability to play DVDs and TV, this is about the cheapest way out. It is pretty small, so it will not take up a lot of space, and the DVD/CD drive is slot-fed, not tray. I was looking at something similar until my wife found a local sale on combo CRT, DVD, VHS (she has lots of fitness tapes) for the bedroom.

Oooh, that does sound good! According to the reviews, it allows you to watch poor signals, which is a concern with my cable, not all channels are clear. The repairman blames the phone company wiring which the cable company had to use to send signals over because the apartment complex would not let them run new wiring. The complex had originally gone with Direct TV and it was so horrible they had to dump it.dlgoff said:Evo,
When I decided to buy a new tv, I went to Walmart and viewed them from probably 100 feet as I was walking to their electronics section. It was clear that there were only two choices; the two with the brightest, clearest picture. When I got there and looked, they were the Samsung and the Philips. I looked at their specifications and they were almost identical. The biggest difference was the cost; the Philips being the cheapest. So I bought the Philips and have been very satisfied for over a year now.
I would suggest looking at the specs very closely. Here is Walmarts Philips 22" that you might want to take a look at.

Evo Child gave me a new DVD player last Christmas though.
Kurdt said to go with Sony the other day, but he was talking about a very high end one, and I'm not going that big for the bedroom. I was thinking of this, what do you think?

The tv sits next to my computer and is literally 2 feet away.mugaliens said:That's only a 22". I have a 22" monitor just two feet in front of my face, and I'd still like a larger one!
I have a 32" TV I use with a DVD play when I have friends over. It seems too small, these days, but my folks have the same size in their bedroom.
If you're ok with using it for background while going to sleep, it should be just fine, and at a good price, too. :)
Thanks Lacy! maybe I'll drag my feet for another month.Lacy33 said:Great timing for us. I was just asking family about getting a new one because they are the lowest prices ever.

But which one?

Do you find that it let's you watch degraded signals. The new Samsung I bought a few years ago wouldn't allow me to watch a station if it didn't think the picture was perfect. I threw it away.

Just realize that in department stores the brightness/constant on every TV has been CRANKED up to make them look bright against the harsh fluorescent lighting and will (should at least) not be how you view your television at home.It was clear that there were only two choices; the two with the brightest, clearest picture.
The specifications don't lie. When one says a contrast ratio of 2100:1 and another says 50000:1, it's obvious by looking. The differences that I've seen aren't those that are made by "personal preferences" settings.minger said:Just realize that in department stores the brightness/constant on every TV has been CRANKED up to make them look bright against the harsh fluorescent lighting and will (should at least) not be how you view your television at home.
Do it. Save energy. And get a great picture.turbo-1 said:... it might be nice to take the opportunity to get rid of this monster Philips CRT TV and the large piece of furniture that houses it.

Something that plays DVD's. Small apartment size. Do they go on the wall or stand alone? Are they easy to program? Do you need rabbit ears for them?
The ideal size for a TV in a bedroom will vary depending on personal preference and the size of the room. However, a general recommendation is to choose a TV with a screen size between 32-40 inches for a small bedroom.
When looking for a small bedroom TV, it is important to consider the size, display quality, and connectivity options. A TV with a slim design and good picture quality, as well as options for streaming, gaming, and multiple HDMI ports, may be ideal for a small bedroom.
This ultimately depends on personal preference and intended use. A smart TV may be more convenient for streaming and accessing online content, while a regular TV may be better for those who prefer traditional cable or satellite TV options.
The price of a small bedroom TV can vary greatly depending on the brand, features, and display quality. Generally, you can expect to spend anywhere from $200-$600 for a good quality small bedroom TV.
There are many reputable brands and models that offer small TVs perfect for a bedroom. Some popular options include Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio. It is important to read reviews and compare features to find the best fit for your needs and budget.
