Price range? Size?

I now have a 32" in the bedroom, I found the 40" to big and the 22" to small but the 32" was just right.

The two you listed are "store" brands and are as about as low as you can get in PQ.

This would be a great TV for the bedroom

My parents got the Vizio 32 inch Plasma. Its very nice and while the black levels aren't very deep for a plasma, the image looks much more natural in dark areas of the picture. It was 547 bucks IIRC.

Why would you get a 720 when HD is 1080? Personally I could never get a TV that Small. I would say 40" would be the smallest I would get.

That's a good TV Art, great 26,000:1 contrast ratio. The problem for me was the Philips was 1" too wide for where I was gonna put it so I got the 42" Toshiba.

I think you guys are blinded by your big TVs.

I need something small-ish, as in 26" at the b iggest. It needs to fit on top of my dresser.

I dont know why I ask questions around here, I should just stick to not-so-funny remarks and off color jokes.

Get one of those cheaper dresser/tables, they're like the car/SUVs. They're called cross dressers, I believe you're familiar with them
