My wife was looking for a replacement for her Toshiba 15" flat screen TV which has always had bad reception and was more a source of frustration than anything. She uses it in the bedroom so was wanting to replace with a 15" or even a 10" set. All I could find were 19" on up or 7" portables none of which appear to be of any quality. I ended up getting an Insignia 19" set for $99 which seems to work well and seems reasonably well built despite that fact that it is all plastic. What I wonder is why there are no more small sets that are just right for kitchen or bedroom use. Years ago the 10, 12 and 13 inch sets were perfect for these applications. I figure it must be either of a couple of reasons. One, the trend toward insanely large sets means no one wants anything below 24 inches anymore. Two, small screen viewing has migrated to laptops, tablets and smartphones. Has the market died out for compact tabletop TVs?
