    Any suggestions? Want to get in store to avoid delay so I can watch Blazers Wednesday
    Needs to be small, due to space issues.
    Suggestions on brand/ store/features?

    TVs are so slim right now they can hang on the wall like a picture. 4K TVs have really come down in price. You should really think about getting something bigger. You'll really enjoy it.

    That's pretty small. Like SPD said tv's are so thin light and cheap with wall mounts very reasonable. If possible i would go at least 32" and if possible to swing it a 42" can be a great viewing size. Samsung, LG as well as Vizio if you stick with their 2nd tier sets. TCL is also getting some strong reviews.

    Also sign up for Fry's Deal of the Day email/code.

    Here is part of their current Deal of the Day ad. Some pretty crazy deals for 4K TVs. Seriously, the 43" and 50" Samsungs are really nice TVs.

    Thanks. My entertainment center cabinet has a very small TV space but if I move a few pictures there is wall space. I will check out the store tomorrow.

    Do the wall mount. You won't be sorry if you get a bigger tv.

    I got a little 19" at Fry's last year for the boat. It might be 22", $82 bucks I think. Has all the stuff to search for over the air channels and all.
    Works good. Stuck it on a wall mount.

    Add $80.00 for the swinging wall mount and it can be the room center piece.

    Dont splurge on a 4k tv if its gotta be under 22”. Go with a samsung 1080p also I find better luck at Costco than Fry’s for TV’s.
    Be careful about buying a cheap TV, find out who the manufacturer of the actual display is (they are not all created equal). The good news is superbowl week is the best time of the year to buy a TV.
    Brands Id recommend ~ Vizio for a ‘decent’ cheap option. Samsung or Philips for a mid-range and Sony or Samsung for higher end.

    Sony or Samsung for sure. I always go with Best Buy.
    To be honest check open boxed deals at your local Best Buy. I have gone that route in the past and been VERY happy.

    I agree with HPV. Best Buy has always been a solid choice in my opinion.

    I got a Samsung on sale at Fry's. I wimped out and paid for them to install wall mount; I have the tools but have trouble sometimes finding studs. Not a problem if just hanging pictures but a problem if it's a TV, especially as my house sits on top of the Hayward Fault. They are installing as I speak.

    And of course old TV started working again, but this is second time it's gone out for more than a day so I think it's dying.

    Thanks for all the help. Come by and watch Blazers sometimes. I'll make the cookies.
