Swampnuts Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I'm looking to buy a 26" LCD for my bedroom, because I've got a HD Directv receiver going to waste in my garage. Plus, it's looking like my sister in law will never be moving out of my house, so I'll be watching a lot more tv upstairs. Anyone have any suggestions?

The Irish Doggy Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Consensus says you should look for Sony and Samsung first as they are generally consider the best, but also look at the Toshiba, Sharp, and Panasonic. You really should go to a store and see them for yourself. Test out the remote and on-screen menus. Look for at least two HDMI inputs for your box and a DVD player.

aqualung Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) rat poison Beat me. Oh and my vote is for Samsung. I have one and am very happy with it. Edited November 4, 2007 by aqualung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I've got the Sony 26" Wega, think it's been replaced by the Bravia. Either way, I'm very satisfied with it and thinking of getting a larger Sony next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 My LG is top notch. Side by side on the Sharp Aquos, it had fantastic image and black levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've been looking recently and will get either a Sony or Samsung. Their pictures appear to be head and shoulders above the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Walmart had some sort of Vizio for like 600. I can remember if it was 32 or 26. Probably 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) I bought some weird off-brand (Soyo) that looks just fine so far for about $525. EDIT - that was a 32" Edited November 5, 2007 by Chavez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Honestly at 26" dont buy an expensive TV as it is not worth it. I would look to get a Vizio or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought RR juniorette a 32" Westinghouse. The pic is fine, but only 720. Under$700. Cool thing about it......when you go to HiDef, the TV changes the input to that, automatically! No need to change sources manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Phillips makes panels for most of the other manufacturers and would be worth a look as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCharger Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I bought a 26" Olevia for my bedroom and it's just fine. I paid $499 at Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to change sources manually. +1 I bought 3 Westinghouses at Sams club for use in our bedrooms while in the Philippines. Around $500 each for the 26" LCD HDs with built in DVD players. No need to go high end on such a small TV, I'm very happy with the picture on the Westinghouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myhousekey Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I bought a 26" Olevia for my bedroom and it's just fine. I paid $499 at Target. Another vote for the Olevia. They're pretty cheap but do the trick for a decent bedroom tv. I bought the 32" model and the only complaint I have about it is that my Directv remote won't program for the Olevia tv so i can turn it on/off and adjust the volume.
