THat too is an option (Go with a slightly wider one (which would not really work that well in my RV.
Oh how to pick a TV.
If you use my method (Shorten teh head banger box) I used a tape measure and measured the TV I had and several others including the TV I Now HAVE. Identical width was the ONLY factor considered. NO other.
It was at a pawn shop I found it. NO remote so they gave me a discount. Amazon or E-Bay had the OEM remote for 10 bucks.
I have a wide screen Samsung in the bedroom. also no remote (Wal*mart) so a big discount.. Turns out I had a Samsung in there long ago.. Samsung only makes one remote.. One size fits all.. I still had the remote.
