Be Smart

TVs certainly have gotten better looking -- at CES we saw huge flat screens that transformed into paintings, ones with "invisible" bezels or highly decorative bezels, meant to compliment the decor. Not to mention the ones that sank into pieces of furniture and completly disappeared, my personal favorites.

This 20" LCD HDTV from VIZIO caught my eye when it won the presigious RED DOT award for its elegant design. With a depth of 3.6“, the 20“ screen is ultra-slim and well suited for home offices, kitchens, bedrooms (dorms?), and smaller rooms. Since it's High Definition with "integrated standard and high definition NTSC/ATSC/clear QAM digital tuner including 1080i and 720P you can enjoy the HD already offered by cable and satellite channels."

Originally offered with a beautiful piano black bezel wrap-around, you now have the option to buy it in white.

Specs you need to know:

- Widescreen HD functionality featuring 1366x768 high definition resolution
- One HDMI input, RGB computer conection (great for use as a PC monitor), and 8ms response time.

Not bad for $399.
