Which TV to buy for college? What do you recommend?

$300-400 should be able to get you a nice 1080p LCD screen. LED models will be a bit more expensive which may not work for your budget. Honestly, for college, I wouldn't spend more than $300-400. You're going to be moving a lot, and the last thing you want to do is drop a bunch of cash on something that possibly is going to get damaged while in transit from place to place.

Brands: big name is better. Sony is good but overpriced, otherwise check out Sharp, Samsung, or Panasonic. I use a 32" ASUS "TV" (it thinks it's a monitor...but has a TV tuner and TV inputs) for my computer & Xbox, which I bought for $300 a few years ago.

If budget is REALLY an issue, then check out Vizio.

AVOID: RCA, Dynex, Polaroid.

Look for a TV that has 3 or more HDMI ports, and if possible, at least 1 component video input (red, blue, green, white, red) and 1 composite video (yellow, red, white) input. This way you'll have enough ports for your foreseeable future, including a way to hookup that old SNES someone is bound to have......Show more

Sony or Samsung are two reliable brands. I bought a 32" Sony Bravia a couple of months ago and love it....Show more
