Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
This TV replaced an older 4:3 CRT tv in our bedroom. Easy set up, as long as you use a magnetic screwdriver to hold the philips head screws that are used to attach the base.
I used the recommended settings from the CNET review of this series of TV.
Biggest complaint is the off-axis viewing. The picture deteriorates rapidly, at less than 45 degress to the sides.
Samsung LN55A950 55 inch Full HD 1080p 120Hz LED LCD HDTV
Hi,
Got my Samsung a950 recently, and its an exceptional TV. Fantastic picture and sound.
Had a question on the settings…the Movie mode is the worst. Too dark. The Dynamic is too bright and colors too saturated. I tried to lower the backlight and contrast for Dynamic, but still didn’t feel right.
The Standard seems to be the best. Can someone let me know what ideal settings they use for Standard settings (backlight, contrast, brightness etc.), and also the settings they use for Detail settings and Picture settings ?
Thanks.

I purchased this item for stereoscopic content playback. This it does nicely. The quality of the picture is on par with the cost. This is a very nice tv for the price. I will note that I have not played any 2D content on it yet. The three HDMI inputs are very handy. I have driven my computer at 1920×1080 it looks pretty good as long as you are at least 6 feet back. Out of the box the image was not exact. I had to get the service code and really tweak the image. Out of the box the top of the image had a large noticeable arch. The good thing for me was that the service mode has a huge amount of control over the set. If you need stereoscopic playback there is no better solution for the price. If you are interested in 3D playback you will need a computer, stereoscopic active glasses and software. Almost any computer with DVI out will do. The glasses and software are around $250.
One other thing I love about the set is how light it is. One person on each end can pick it up with one hand easily.
