I am looking to get a 17-22" LCD tv for the bedroom. I have a 27" tv now but they wife hates it b/c its so big. I noticed that dell has a new 17" WS LCD tv for $699. (http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/lcd_w1700?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~tab=specstab)

Would be kind of nice to watch HD in bed even though the screen might be a little small. This has a dvi (but no HDCP), rgb, and component hookup.

That is the best deal I have found on one yet. I have noticed once they get past 17" they start to really jack up the price.

Anyone have an small LCD TV and have any thoughts?
Anyone know of any deals they have seen on LCD TVs?[/url]

I would also love to have a LCD in the bed room.
To me the biggest problem is that I can mount my an LCD TV on the wall, but what am I going to do with the Cable box?
Personally I would wait till we start to see "Digital Cable Ready" tv's sometime next year. Then you can have your wires moved high on the wall behind the TV.
No wires is a plus, nice and clean.

To answer your original question, the Dell is a great way to go right now. In fact other brands of 17in LCD's are much more expensive.

It's actually the perfect size for a bedroom and the picture is really nice. I think it looks better than my 50" Toshiba RPT. I got it a best buy and they have an 18 month no interest deal running now which made this affordable for me. There is a wall mount avail but it's only made by Samsung and crutchfield has it for $99 w/ free shipping. I am really happy :D with this tv and would recommend it to anyone else looking for a tv for the bedroom. It has 2 HD component inputs plus and RGB for a PC. Even dvd's look amazing!!
