When hunting for a widescreen, high-definition television, the screen is only part of the story.
Sure, it’s nice to have a big, 1080p-resolution model, but additional features can help seal the deal. Price is also a consideration, though. Full-featured models with the best of everything can easily hit $3,000. And that’s a tough sell in today’s economy.

The electronics industry is a funny world sometimes.
For many product sectors, the newest models come out at a set time of year. Most 2010 cars, for example, will start arriving toward the end of summer. Sure, some are out now, but most will show up before the leaves turn.

While many consumers are moving toward larger televisions, there’s still a home for smaller screens. Often used as a second television — or third, or fourth — smaller screens are inexpensive and capable.
For most companies, screen sizes below 32 inches are usually 26, 22 or 19. Some companies make all three. The 26-inch screen is probably the best option, because it’s wide enough to take advantage of high-definition signals, as well as being versatile enough to serve as the main television in a smaller house.
