How about the Acer I linked to earlier? If you need a lot of ports, an external HDMI switch is cheap.

CCL are doing a good deal on 32" Iiyama.

Amazon do a 43" at some cost:

And that $700 may have been a fine value. My grandmother bought a Zenith console TV around 1990, and it was still working when she replaced it with a flat screen almost 25 years later. She bought another for the basement in the mid-90s, and it was still working when she passed in the late 2010s.

Yeah. Was gonna say. Still working. Too bad that the TV signals for a TV that old here don't.

I'm sure it was, I don't know what happened to it but I know it was still in use in the early 2000's. I wish I still had it, I've been looking for a vintage console TV like that to use at our cabin which is a bit of a time capsule. My point is that TVs and other stuff like that used to be very expensive.
