The Bottom Line	This Sharp LC-20B8U has the right combination of size and performance to serve up TV and even HDTV in your kitchen or bedroom.	The Sony MFM-HT205 is a double threat, serving as both a TV and a computer monitor. This 20-inch wide-screen LCD features an impressive array of video connections, and it wowed us with its image quality. It will suit the work and entertainment needs of all but the most discerning graphics professionals.	Although it's not the best iPod-friendly TV we've tested, the Panasonic TC-LX1 provides a convenient, affordable gateway to access video and music based on your iPod or iPhone.	With one of the better flat-panel LCD pictures we've seen, this 30-inch Sharp delivers good performance and superb style.	This non-wide-screen 21-inch LCD is designed to display standard-definition TV, but it can also accept high-def, giving it some futureproofing.
