HELP.looking for deal on a 20 inch tv
HI guys. Already have hdtv, sub, the works in the living room. I need to replace the Panasonic 20 inch tv/ mono, in the bedroom.It was my now ex-GF tv Any deals at a B&M on this model? Or can you recommend me a good model in that size or a little smaller screen Price range about $200- $250 or less if possible. Any info will do. Thanks. Oh i am in Riverside, CA right now. Sears,GG,CC,BB,Tweeter, etc are all within 30 miles from where i'm at. Any suggestions would help. thanks

For 20" TVs, the quality and price differences aren't so drastic. So it doesn't really matter too much what you get. The exception are flat-screen units. Just go to costco or other warehouse club and get the special with the right amount of features that you need (or willing to pay for).
It's similar to what happened to VCR players. All models are around $100 and they all perform more or less fine.

Gee the Subject was for a 12 inch Screen. My Dell I-8500 laptop has a 13 inch wide and 8 inches high actual measurement of L.C.D. Screenwith a 1680 By 1550 (WSXVGA+) and has a 16 x 10 configuration to play wide screen DVD. I was surprized when the actual size was 20 inches instead of 12".
You realize this computer is the first to put 16 x 9 in the right configuration to watch DVD on, if your main HDTV goes out for a day or forever, until you buy a new one. Food for thought

shop around and don't be afraid to ask for a good price or deal I got my mom a TOSHIBA 20" stereo flatscreen tv for the bedroom around 200 to 300 dollars. Lot of good deals on smaller 20" tvs now, on part because everyone wants a bigger widescreen HDTV. Look around at some furniture stores, they can't give them away. stay away from RCA and GE if you can. go with Toshiba or sony or Panasonic and you'll never have problems.
I recommened just talking to dealers and ask for a deal. you'd be supriced on how well that works.

wow it took you this long to look for a tv? in the 20inch range there is not much of a difference, go to the store pick out the one that looks the nicest and there you go, if you already have an hdtv, you probably will only be watching this before bed, so it doesn't really matter
