So I think I might want to buy a small (22" maybe) HDTV for my bedroom. Mostly to use for some console gaming, DVD, TV watching...and possibly hook my PC up to on rare occasion. Right now I just have an old 20" CRT in there with standard cable and my Wii hooked up. One day I might buy a 40" but for now I don't know if that makes much sense for how much moving I've been doing lately.

I was kind of looking at this one

Costco has it for $309...pretty good price, but people are complaining that it doesn't have screws in the back for a wall mount...and while I might not mount it now...it seems that a 22"-24" TV is destined to be wall mounted at some point.

Any thoughts or suggestions for me?
 
Ok so I've narrowed it down some...I think a 26" is actually the right size...I bought this one from Costco

Got it for $450...because it was open box...pretty good..but it has dead pixel...so I might pney up the extra $50 and get a new one....or they said I could always get my cash back...so I started looking at other models.

or this one...but I don;t think it has PC input...which might be nice to have.

...The one nice thing about Costco is they extend manufacturer's warranty for 2 years...my last TV was a Toshiba HD for a few years back..it was expensive..and the remote sensor (on TV) broke..and Toshiba said 1 year only...so I am kinda partial to Costco for that fact..but..they don;t carry any 26" Samsung....if anyone knows of any others then please let me know...I'm kind of confused on what to get....are any better at cleaning up standard cable? than others?...right now I'm not blown away by the Sharp....but I've only seen standard cable and 480p Wii on it.

EDIT

So I decided to take back the Sharp to Costco, which Costco return policy stood up to w hat they said, it was awesome....and order the Samsung LN26A450 from Newegg so if anyone wants to know how I like this TV once it comes in a few days, let me know.
