I just wanted to vent my experience about my recent purchase of a LCD TV and I would like for you guys to give me your thoughts on 19" - 21" LCD tvs. Price is not an issue. I am willing to pay for a decent TV but I also don't want to pay too much for the quality.
On black Friday I stood in line at Target from 2am to 6am just to get a Tru Tech 19" LCD TV and when I got it home I pluged it up and the image comes up for a split second and then the LCD turns off. The sound continues to play. I have tried several times to contact Tru Tech via e-mail and their technical support number and have not been able to reach anyone. I spent a half hour on the phone listening to music only to get a beep "leave a message" at the end. I was very pissed. Target does not have any more of these TVs in stock and will not trade me their working Display model. I called their customer service to see if they could locate a TV for me to exchange it but they will only locate TVs in my local area and will not have TVs shiped from another store. So I am taking it back. I gave them a week to get more TVs in but it does not look like its going to happen.
So I am looking for a 20" LCD TV with a analog tuner built in and also HD ready. S-Video, Component, Composite, F Connections would be nice. I would also like Audio outputs just in case the audio quality is crappy. And to top it all off it would really be nice if it had RS232 control with a freely published protocol. But the RS232 is not a must. I can control it with IR just fine.
Any suggestions?

Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay?
