I need a new TV
#1
I have a little 13 inch TV in my kitchen that I watch the morning news on and my Sunday sports shows on that just got fried by lightning. :( This is the second time in 7 years living in this house that the kitchen TV got cooked. (Last time we also had to by new phones). So I am looking at this little baby for the kitchen along with a surge protector this time. LOL

Any other suggestion on a good buy for a little TV

Huh, that thing looks pretty awesome. Especially for that price. I thought that you'd want one that flipped down from under a cabinet though. I've always really liked Viewsonic. That TV seems to have absolutely everything you'd want. The only thing that I'm not sure about is that crazy resolution. I like to play my media at the screen's native resolution and 1440 x 900 is odd. It's not 480, 720 or 1080. Have you read other reviews? Maybe at 19" it doesn't matter or maybe it scales very well.
A long time ago my daddy said, "Son, always cut away from yourself with a knife, treat every firearm as though it's loaded and never update your BIOS during a lightning storm".

The TV sits on a side board across from the kitchen table. Seeing we are going from a CRT to a panel I feel OK going from 13' to 19' the panel has about the sime size footprint.

I was also wondering about the funky resolution but that TV will never see a computer, DVD player or HD converter so I fell pretty confident I can find a setting that will handle the digital cable signal pretty good.

Veiwsonic is what I have in my Manroom a '26 inch and I absolutlly love it. It seems a lot bigger than it is and the onboard sound is fantastic. I have the XBOX classic hooked up to it.

Even though it is still working my 480p 57 inch SONY projection TV is taking up too much room in the living room. I just pulled the trigger on the 60 inch Vizio. It should be here in a week.

Couldn't giveaway my old TV so I put it on Craigslist for $400 beans. If it sells that is almost half of my new TV. If I get $200 I will be happy I don't have to store it in my basement forever just to drag it to the dump in 5 years.

Wanted to have porn on the screen for the CL pic but the wife wouldn't let me

I have some friends in Boston that said they want it. Of course for them it is free. I am giving them 3 weeks to get it out of my house then it goes on the free section of CL.

If nothing else, you might be able to donate it to a shelter or something like that.

TVs and computer monitors are the albatross of our generation. Nobody wants them. I tried donating TVs before, Salvation Army wont even take them as donations - the trash guys refuse take them.

I put the TV on the FREE section of Craigslist and got 2 replies in 5 minutes. Make that 12 in 10 minutes
