Searched available groups but none seem to have a subject pertaining to
my question. So here goes in this group where people have been well
versed over the years.

I'm searching for what I call a bedroom TV. Not too big, not too small.
An LCD between 24" and 32" perhaps. Trouble is I'm looking for a
specific feature. An on/off timer. Sometimes called an alarm timer.
Unlike regular sleep timers these turn on the set. Makes a nice
alternative to alarm clocks.

Going to both Walmart and Best Buy I discovered they don't have any
remotes available. The data cards don't mention it nor do the shipping
boxes. So no way to check the on screen menus.

Perhaps someone here is in retail electronics? Or maybe someone has
purchased a new set fairly recently? If so I would really appreciate
knowing available makes/models to look for.

The LG 26LE5300 I got the other day does indeed have a programmable on /
off timer function including source and channel selection.

An inelegant solution would be to plug the tv into a a timer outlet and just
set the timer for whatever you want. Those timer outlets are also useful for
having timed lights while on vacation.
