How do I pick a small TV?
Need a small TV for a smaller bedroom. Don't have digital broadcast and don't watch a lot of movies. The room is normally not very bright. Did the research last night and found that:
-Dynamic Contrast Ratio is very important but the companies fudge the numbers.  -Brightness is important but the companies fudge the numbers. -Respnse rate (ms) is important but not all companies post it. I don't need an expensive TV. Looking at several 720p 60hz TVs. Seems like they are all Progressive Scan, ~10 watt Stereo speakers (which is fine), have a digital comb filter, have a resolution of 1366x768, have about the same inputs and specs and a 1 yr warranty. So, why not go down to Wallyworld or Best Buy and get a Dynex, Visio, Sanyo, or whatever for $250-270???

It's fine. Just buy from a place/company where if it turds out in 33 days, you can do something about it.

Vizio seems to be almost a universal favorite for cheap TVs, and Walmart seems to be the place to get them.

Just bought a small t.v. for the kitchen--nothing special needed. Got a Visio, 19" LED at Costco on special for $157. 30 day no-questions-asked return, plus Costco "Concierge" support for two years.

Walmart has the Samsung 32" HD 720dp on sale right now for $348.00. I just picked one up. Never had a problem with the Samsungs and they have great picture quality.
