Your views on 15"-20" inch HDTVs

I think smaller HDTVs are a great deal if you just need a small LCD HDTV which is 20 inches or less which does not use a lot of electricity.

They just cost about 150-300 dollars, so it can be a good starter HDTV for kids, or people with not a lot of money.

I think they are good for smaller rooms, or covered outdoor kitchens.

I think there perfect for kitchens or dinning rooms so you can watch the news as you eat.

Smaller HDTVS might be good for making Homemade arcade Machines with an old computer loaded with tons of ROM games and game emulators.

Plus, the arcade machine will be less heavy since those CRT tube TVs and monitors are so heavy.

They are great for small rooms. You should probably get a bigger one though if you have a bigger room because you will hardly be able to see anything.

I think it depends on how far you sit from the TV ,and room size does not matter much since if you can't see. You can move your chair closer to the TV.

Sure, it will look weird to have a smaller TV in a huge room, but it is still okay to use as long as you sit 2-5 feet away from the TV.

Yeah, that is true, if your going to be really close up then all you really need is a small screen!

I agree, some people also use their HDTV as computer monitors these days since most HDTV also has VGA, DVI, and HDMI which many computers also use to connect to monitors. You can save a few hundred dollars by just buying a 20" $200-500 HDTV and use it for both watching TV and using as a computer monitor.

I remember back in the mid 90s probably 1993-95 when color TVs were very expensive and most people had 20"-27" inch Tube TVs even for bigger rooms because bigger TVs almost cost thousands of dollars or close to a thousand dollars.
