I'm looking at getting a 24" or 27" for a 13 year olds bedroom. This will be for a typical kid who plays video games and DVD's and will probably have finger prints all over the place. Thanks.

I think thats a good idea. Why buy an expensive name brand for somthing thats gonna get pushed off the desk during a wrestling match anyway.

For a 13yo's room, definitely a good idea. I've read reviews of the Apex TV's, and while they are not the best they aren't so bad. If you were asking as a main TV for the family, I'd say no. But for a kid to play games and watch movies on, I'd say go for it.

They're cheap. If that's all you care about then it will do the job.

They're not great at all, but if you're looking just for a cheap system for your kid's room, it might fit your needs.
