What size tv to buy for a dorm?
Answers: Are you buying an LCD or a regular old tube tv? 19", 20" is the size of the tv, ie. the diameter measured within inches from one corner of the screen to the other. I would suggest you procure a little bit larger than 19, 20 inches if you own the space for it. 25" is a good size for the elder tube tvs. If you're buying an newer LCD type t.v, I'd suggest you buy a 32" if you can afford it. LCDs are a bit pricier than tube tvs.
Why don't you use the wonderful opportunity given to you and STUDY in college.
Perhaps consider even smaller than 19" (that is the diagonal breadth, approx 49 cm). If you are in the US, you can shift to Walmart and getting a smaller one, about 12", for smaller amount than $100. Get one that is set up for DVD, most are cable set, but look for EARPHONE plug!! Could be very nice for you to use earpiece if your room mate is studying or sleeping.
Well, honestly you can get any size you want (as long as it fit into the room). I would recommend not going bigger than 25" because later it just get a hassle and may take up more room than needed. In vocabulary of the numbers, they are actually the size of the TV eyeshade diagonally. You could get your TV from any foremost outlets, such as Best Buy, or even Wal-Mart. Just be on the lookout for good deal.
You will be better off getting a small flat panel LCD. Either a Sony, Pioneer, or a Toshiba. You will want to breed sure it is digital cable ready. As for the size, you will want to carry something that will be proper for the room size. Since most dorms are relatively small, like smaller amount than 12 feet cavernous, you will want something around the 23 inch size. All that means is the size of the eyeshade from one corner to the opposite corner. I would not recommend anything else to you. You are going to want a TV that will finishing you more than a year so one of those 3 brands will be best for you.
Hmmm, a 27 inch (diagonal measurment) TV would be more ideal within your environment. And since it will be an LCD panel, I suggest you hide it/turn it around if you own any dorm parties...those panel can be easily broken next to a thrown book, or keys, or door run into it....
If you can mount it, mount it high-ranking.....
How size is measured:
In flat panels are measured diagonally. CRT type TV are also measured diagonally across the peak, but part of the blind is hidden losing the frame so a 19" CRT actually measures somewhat smaller number than 19".
Best place is to buy:
Whatever big chain store have a good Dutch auction price and a good return policy. I approaching to start at Walmart.
The cheapest TV would be a used 19" CRT TV, people are almost giving these away as they correct over to flat panels, or maybe $100 new.
Flat panel are take up smaller number room, but you pay for it.
Another resort is to get a TV tuner for your computer and keep watch on TV on a computer monitor. 19"-20" LCD monitors show up on sale pretty cheap and this remedy takes up no extra room at adjectives. If your computer has a DVD drive, you can also study DVDs on it. If you are using a laptop, there are USB tuners and most laptops enjoy ports for external monitors.
