We had a 13" TV/DVD combo (from my dorm room days) until last year. The remote no longer worked so we could only watch DVDs that played when we hit play on the front of the unit.... and sometimes that resulted in captions/other languages. I tried replacing the remote but it was time to upgrade. Our apartment is small so a 32" flat screen is perfect, plus a new DVD player so we can stream Netflix, etc. No cable, just what we get over the air with a cheap-o set of rabbit ears on top of the bookshelf. Watching sports is also WAY better on the bigger screen.... it was hard to see the puck/ball on the little TV
The old one got recycled at the local electronics recycling event for $10-15.
