Samsung LN26B360 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
Well, the digital transition just wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, so I finally bought a new TV.
This TV has a stunning picture at a great price. Easy set up with clearly labeled slots at the back for the various inputs, and easy on-screen controls pop up when you need them.
The size is just right even in a big room if you want a more traditional TV feel, rather than a *monster TV.* I’m delighted with the picture and the sound. DVD’s are gorgeous on this screen, and plain vanilla TV is fun to watch again. If you’re a first time buyer, you’ll be thrilled. If you’re adding a small TV to a guest room or exercise room, I think the picture and sound quality is great, and the price is good, too.
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.
