If you're considering a smaller TV we believe there's little reason to get one with an
LED backlight or
1080p resolution. Sony's KDL-BX300 series is the company's least expensive for 2010, and it offers neither feature. It also lacks the USB port of the
Samsung LNC350 we compared it with, but otherwise their feature sets and picture quality are nearly a match--although we give a slight edge to the Sony in the latter category. We can't tell you whether the BX300 is substantially better than even cheaper off-brand sets, but if you're looking for a solid name-brand bedroom TV, the BX300 qualifies.
