Default HDTV for my dorm room??

I am going to be a sophomore at UCSD next year living in the on-campus apartments. I really want a LCD or Plasma TV in my room but I'm not sure how big it should be, how I should set it up, and if I am allowed to hang it on the wall. Any suggestions?

Is this for a common room or a bedroom? I would assume it depends largely on the dimensions of the room... so that would be very important. Do you play on Stars - the LCDs/plasmas in the VIP store seen like decent deals

i suggest that you get some non lazy aptmates and that they'll lock your front door, otherwise it's gonna get jacked.

i had a 42' tv in my dorm room (one-room double), my room was always unlocked and often left with the door open, and i never once worried about it getting jacked. it's just too heavy and people would notice. and I guess I trusted everyone in my dorm.

and d0nkaments, you could have just asked me =).

How big is your room? I've got a 45" Sharp Aquos, a 32" Vizo and a 23" Philliips in my room all lined up on one wall side by side with my computer and desk next to them.... flat panels are really space efficient, just make sure you position your room effectively so that lots of people can watch!

Get at least a 32, imho. The Samsung 32 inch would be perfect!

agreed, this is an awesome TV especially if you're a gamer. Plus it's one of the only 32 inch hdtv's to offer 1080.
