TV set choice

My five year old grand daughter wants a telly for her birthday. Leaving
aside the rights and wrongs of five year olds having tellys in their
bedrooms, the telly has to be chosen. She has given me the following
specification.
1. It must be pink
2. It be capable of receiving CBeebies and CITV.
3. It must include a DVD player.
4. It must be a nice flat one like Grandad Temper's one in his bedroom
(that's the other grandad).

From this I deduce that we are looking for a 14" LCD IDTV with a DVD player.
Pink? I might have to explain that pink isn't possible.

Guys, help me. What is there on the market?

15" LCD TV, built in DVD player, digital freeview tuner

16:9, and a five year warranty. Looks ideal ?

It said widescreen but it didn't say 16:9, looking at the picture it looks
closer to 15:9 as are many LCD monitors.

Sounds like Hannspree may have something in that area -0 they have some
pink ones at least.... they have loads of novelty designs.

If the 5 yr old can tell the difference, she's ready to work for Grandad!

If it is 15:9 then possibly the Cbeebes DOG might be cropped out of
sight ? ;-)

I thought DOGs were always placed mid screen so that even on 4:3 they were
visible?

You're right. It'll probably crop the sides, not top and bottom. Oh
well.

I'd love to think that one day she will, although there are two problems.
One, she's far too intelligent to waste her time in this job. She's a
cunning little weasel who is destined to be someone who earns huge amounts
without doing any actual work. And two, by the time she's out of uni I'll be
well past it.

Isn't CBBC intended for the Slighly Larger Small People?

Yes, but I don't think it is as good as CBeebies, although I've not
watched it as much. Maybe because it has to serve a wider age range with
increasingly sophisticated tastes/boredom levels.
