We are the typical family with "too many TV's" but right now the oldest is getting to the point of being more responsible and we were thinking of a TV in the bedroom. I noticed 19" Class (18.5" Diagonal) LCD TV with a semi decent price, and mind you we do not need anything fancy, but at the same time the kiddo does deserve a good "big present" this year. The size works, the price is tolerable but I am wondering if there is something better I could be looking at without over spoiling this kid?

I think this is a good choice for what you want to use it for. Just make sure you have some locks on the channels you don't want him to have access to.

My kids have a tv in their room but it was given to us for them. I noticed the other day that there's a buzzing sound when it's on so I'm thinking the tube must be going. I think a 19" is plenty big enough for a teen.

I wish I had a 19 when I was a teen. I was always stuck with the "old" TV and all of them looked bad, maybe my parents just wanted to make me suffer. I have looked at some Sony's too, but I am still thinking JVC.

A 19 inch tv looks like it'd be a perfect size. I don't think it'll spoil your kid at all. How old is your child? Do you think that a tv in his/her room is the best choice?

I didn't have a TV in my room until I was in college. My parents gave one to my sister so I'd watch it in her room instead. But the things she watched were probably not all that appropriate for me since she was several years older! lol

Its been chosen this year we are going out and getting the JVC and I am sure the look come Christmas morning will be great (its been on the "list of goodies" for a while now. For the parents though, we are looking at replacing the TV in the living area so our hunt will take longer I am sure. On that note, is it worth larger purchases (since this would be more for everyone, not just a teen) to wait until after the holidays to purchase?

I think the 19" tvs are perfect for any bedroom of course unless the room is huge you may want something bigger. I suggest investing in the equipment to hang it on the wall if the room is small. We are waiting for Black Friday and then going to do some electronics shopping because Walmart is supposed to have some awesome stuff this year.

Have you thought about trying Black Friday sales? What sort of size tv are you looking for for you and your spouse? There must be some great deals out there that you could get. I think it just boils down to watching the prices.

A 19 in for your son's room sounds perfect. If you wanted to spoil him though, check out the JVC TH-BA1 Sound Bar System that Brian posted a review on today.
