HT09 28" 1080p 1920 x 1080 3000:1 LCD TV

At first glance, this should be a great versatile unit. As a TV, it should play back full 1080p (16:9 aspect ratio). However, the widescreen display is less than optimal for use as a monitor, so the ability to display 1920 x 1200 (16:10 aspect ratio) should have made this perfect for double duty.

I was in the market for a 32 inch HDTV for the bedroom. After measuring my entertainment center, I realized that a 32 inch was slightly too large and would not fit.

Perfect for any bedroom, plus I hooked up my spare computer to the included PC connection and I stream online tv episodes from my bed with the help of a wireless keyboard and mouse.
