The 19-inch Samsung LN19A450 (available in white as the LN19A451) is small, but the image is first-rate. Sized well for a bedroom, office or kitchen counter, the hidden speakers contribute to the small LCD TV's sleek look, but the thin sound they produce is the main complaint that a few express. If you want an even more striking design, the Samsung LN19A650 (*Est. $375) brings the distinctive Touch of Color bezel of Samsung's well-regarded Series 6 sets to a 19-inch screen size, but lacks the other high-end features found in the series' big-screen members (40 inches and up).

When it comes to small-screen LCD TVs, the best source for opinions are the user-review sites and discussion forums. Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and Buzzillions.com have unedited reports from buyers who express their opinions and observations after purchase. These sites have already accumulated feedback on the Samsung LN19A450, part of the company's new line of Series 4 LCD TVs.
