I read the reviews and this Sony seems
like what I want but it doesn't come with
a remote that I can see. I suppose I could
buy a universal remote for it.

I did check Best Buys which is allot closer
to me and the prices are about the same but I
can't find the smaller LG TV like at Frys.

This seems to be the nearest I can get:

they do have one smaller:

but I would rather have a LG and a bit larger.
I don't understand what open-box means?
