Westinghouse PT-16H610S

Not every room or budget can accommodate a mega sized flat panel HDTV. For folks with smaller spaces and wallets, there's the Westinghouse PT-16H610S ($349 list). A compact 16 inches wide screen LCD TV, it can easily sit on a table, hang on a wall, or be mounted under a cabinet.

Flexible placement options, however, are tempered by a weak video processor, which leaves standard definition (SD) material rife with jagged edge and flicker artifacts.

A limited selection of video ports also limits this TV's usefulness. This set's dual hinged base is the key to its versatility. Folded flat, it's ready for wall mounting.

Hang it under a cabinet and the hinges let you tilt the display and move it out of the way when not needed, making it ideal for a kitchen. The set also looks pretty spiffy just sitting on a table.

Available in faux brushed metal or gloss white trim, the on display controls are centered along the front edge of its base and feature touch sensitive activation. They're also sealed, making it impossible for dust or crumbs to sneak inside.

The TV measures 11.3 by 15.0 by 7.0 inches (HWD) although its height can increase by a little over an inch depending on how you position the hinge system. At a relatively light 7.7 pounds, the set shouldn't be too hard to transport from room to room, either.
