I suspect you don't have a Best Buy in your neck of occupied Canada. I
don't have one here either. I only get there when I go visit my kids in
Buffalo or High Point, North Carolina or go to Florida (which is

out one of those Dynex 22" TVs you might find it to your liking. It
hardly costs any more than an equivalent monitor. And, if it doesn't
work out at the co-op you've still got a nice HDTV. :-)
