For watching TV in my living room I find a 20 inch display to be much
too small. But, you have a valid point for someone who wants only a 20
inch set.

Does anyone have advice of TV brands not to consider? The major brand
names I
am somewhat familiar with, but there are many names I have not heard
of prior
to shopping. I am in the US. Thanks in advance.

Tough one. Since you kept your TV for 20 years, I assume you're the type
of person
who buys once, for the long term. You didn't say how big the TV was,
though.
Really, right now, I'd buy a 21 inch CRT computer monitor with an
external tuner
box.
Why? Because you can get dirt cheap 21 inch monitors and they are likely
to be
better than a TV of the same price.
Also, when HDTV hits, you have a 21 inch computer monitor, not a
paperweight.
Just my opinion. It's just that I don't think you'll be able to buy a
NTSC set
that will last 20 years anymore anyways.
