Title: Small LCD TV Post by: Krogoth on August 10, 2007, 12:30:01 AM hey guys,
As you know, I'm headed off to college in a matter of weeks. In talking with my roommates, I have been dubbed "bringer of TV". I took a look around, and am still confused, and with all the help you gave Glacius with his HDTV, I thought you could help me too ;) I'm on a budget of (before shipping) roughly $300, willing to go to $350 if the difference is worth it. I'd rather not go smaller than 19" LCD. So far the two I've found after a quick look (I'm leaving in 2 weeks, and 1 week I'll be in Florida) are: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889022050 (last resort, since its "recertified", but like the size, and the model has good reviews) and http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5645638 (also remember, I get 10% off walmart, and we have that in stock at my store, so no shipping). What do you guys think? Title: Re: Small LCD TV Post by: Hawkes on August 10, 2007, 03:00:59 AM keep in mind that programs broadcast in traditional 4:3 format will be very small on a 19" widescreen. you'll get black bars on the left and right of the screen.
Title: Re: Small LCD TV Post by: Krogoth on August 10, 2007, 03:33:45 AM understood. I don't watch much TV anyway, it'd mostly be for the 360/PS2/DVDs, etc.
and thats also why 19 is the lowest I want to go. If I do want to watch TV, I can deal, but thats why I don't want to go to a, say, 15". Title: Re: Small LCD TV Post by: Reddawn on August 10, 2007, 03:16:56 PM I use my Dell 20" widescreen for my 360...it's swank
Title: Re: Small LCD TV Post by: Krogoth on August 10, 2007, 03:25:35 PM thought about it, but then again, I'm buying it for me AND my 2 dormmates, so we all can use it. If I was going for myself, I'd just buy one of those adapters (I have a 19" monitor as it is)
