[LV426]

For bedroom use - something to watch out for is vertical viewing angle - you may need to be able to watch this from below the horizontal, depending on how you intend to use/position it. Many (but not all) LCDs have a fairly poor vertical angle - including the more expensive Panasonic w/s ones. So, when checking them out, try crouching below the set to see if the PQ deteriorates - in the worst cases it begins to look like a negative!

For a 16x9 set - take a look at the 17inch Grundig on sale at Dixon$ for GBP700.

And, when you do buy, get it from somewhere that allows you to either:

a) check out YOUR set before you take it away or
b) return it no questions asked

because, LCDs can suffer bad pixels - these are a manufacturing 'defect' which many manufacturers have a policy that is less than 100% working - in many cases, up to say 5 permanently bright pixels is deemed to be OK - which you would not want. The good news is that, if perfect when new, it is UNLIKELY to aquire bad pixels in use.
