Size Doesn't Matter: The Sharp Aquos 22" HDTV

Okay, so you want a widescreen HDTV in the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom (hey, it beats re-reading last week's issue of Time), and you just can't make that 60" monster work. Sharp has heard your pain. A whole line of small Sharp Aquos televisions is winding its way to a store near you.

Small-screen TVs are nothing new, of course, but small widescreen HD televisions in glorious 1080p are. In ascending order, Sharp will release 22", 26", and 32" models for your viewing pleasure. And a SquareTrade warranty will guarantee yours stays in good working order for three years (or four, if you go for the gusto) or your money back.

Sadly, smaller television does not equal smaller price. Just like the good ol' days of portable TVs, small costs about the same as big; these sets are priced at $1,540, $1,700, and $2,050, respectively. So we say go ahead and spring for that 42" model for the bathroom, with the Bose surround-sound. Now that's quality time.
