Maybe you need a 19-inch HDTV for your den, office, or rumpus room. I don’t know. I really don’t want to get in the middle of a conversation that should definitely be happening solely between you and your domestic partner. If price is a concern, though, then please feel free to reference this $150 TV from Philips being sold on Woot.com today (and today only).
It’s refurbished but carries a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty. Specs include the following:
- 19-inch display, 1400×900 resolution
- 2 HDMI inputs, VGA input
- ATSC/QAM over-the-air tuner
- 300cd/m2 brightness, 800:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time
The deal is good today only, which ought to force you to finally have the uncomfortable “I’d like a new TV for the rumpus room” conversation you’ve been putting off for so long.

I bought one of those TVs for my mother-in-law, to sit in front of her treadmill (so she’d actually use the treadmill).
It works, it’s one of very few 19in TVs that have 2 HDMI inputs (the reason I picked it), but it’s certainly nothing special. The native resolution is awkward for 1080i/p and 720p, and the set doesn’t exactly have the best scaling chip in the world built in.
