Unpluggable TVs?

[crashwg]

I'm looking for a tv, 20-24" that can be unplugged and plugged back in all whilst retaining the selected input and power status, that's not too much to ask is it?
I'm thinkin' about going into worstbuy and circuitcity and testing them all out with my laptop, but i'm not sure if they'll have a problem with that.

Let us know which TVs you find that meet your requirements. I'm looking for the same.

Yeah, the power issue is huge for me. Probably 90% of TVs will remember the last input, but finding a TV with the ability to turn itself back on after power loss is pretty hard. I ended up settling for one that didn't, and had to hookthis up to the cabinet. It works, but not exactly the cleanest look.

I am no electrical engineer or anything, but my first thought was, this:
The TV company knows that 99% of the people want the TV to stay off after a surge, or power loss, to not burn out the TV quickly over a bad storm, power test in the neighborhood, blackouts, etc.. So they install a normally opened switch. Just contact the manufacture of your TV for a schematic, and take out this switch, by either jumping it, or replace it with a normally closed switch.
Then it will always be on when you kick on the power to it from your surge suppressor. Hopefully you are using a good one on your monitor if you want it to always be on
Hope that helps some,

If it's any help to anybody, the 27" Sony Trinitron (KV-27S66)  I just picked up (used) not only powers back up after yanking the cord out of the wall, but remembers it's settings as well.
