Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1
Posted onSo after many years of service, the 19" color television that my wife had we we got married has been retired. Oh, it still works — we've just re-arranged our guest room in anticipation of a new arrival and it doesn't fit on the dresser very well. So we gave it away and ordered this thing:

Which certainly isn't a theater-quality device, but will do just fine for whoever helps us out after the download. We originally targeted a 32" Phillips TV:
[asa]B001LPE31U[/asa]
which we could have acquired at our local Wal-Mart. We simply thought that the 32" might be a little to big for the application. Unfortunately there seems to be a price floor for this kind of product. Once you get into a television that you're willing to watch, it doesn't seem to matter how small you make it — they're all $400 or more...
At any rate, the television comes with a docking station for an iPod. This can be used to turn it into a "mini" entertainment center. Since we had an unused iPod in our house, we assigned it to this room. Now we can easily setup "movie night" for a guest if they'd like. I'm thinking that our new arrival may eventually have a portable entertainment library of their own...
