The one thing I’m not buying for my kid’s dorm room is a television, because I’m a giant meanie (obviously). If I was, though—or if I needed a smallish set for a spare room or something—I’d be jumping on this deal: Best Buy currently has this Sharp 32″ 1080p HDTV available for just $150 shipped! It has an average 4.6 star rating with over 1,700 reviews, too. (For comparison: The same set at Amazon is going to run you at least $230.)
Only somewhat related: Remember when a 32″ TV was considered gigantic? And also when it weighed, like, 100 pounds? This is now considered a small set, and it weighs about 10 pounds. Technology, man. Crazy.
It still makes me laugh when people say “need a tiny TV for a guest room or the kids? get this 32″…” That’s the size of the TV in my living room, and I only really upgraded to that (from 19″) because broadcasters started decreasing the size of all the print on tv because they thought everyone out there MUST have ginormous TVs to read off of by now. LOL
