Nothing beats a big beautiful HDTV. However, we don't always have the space for the screen sizes that we love best. For those times, a small screen will do -- in fact, it does quite well when it's HD.
Just because you can't afford a big TV in the bedroom doesn't mean you can't afford high-def -- especially at the prices B&H Photo/Video is currently advertising. The online retailer has Samsung's 19-inch LN19B360 HDTV for $171.95, which includes free shipping. Here is the link:
In case you have a penchant for all things Amazon, you can order the unit from them and actually save 95 cents. Here is the link for that:
Anyway you get it, it's a nice bonus to be able to have high-def in smaller areas of the house. The Samsung LN19B360 offers a 720p image, as well as a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, SRS TruSurround XT HD audio technology, and a 8ms response time. The unit has a special Game Mode, as well as one HDMI, one component and one composite video input. Also, if you want to mount the unit to the wall, that hardware comes standard inside the box.
An HDTV for under 200 bucks? Yes, we want one for the bedroom -- and the kids' room, the kitchen and maybe even the bathroom. We're guessing that we're not alone. Before your fellow consumers start stocking up, make sure you snag one or two for yourself.
