Which LCD TV ?
ReMan - 27/12/06 at 09:58 PM

Have money burning hole in pocket for 26" LCD TV, with freeview and full spec.
Any opinions good or bad on a particular make or model?
Been looking at Panasonic TX26LXD60, Philips 26PF7521D and samsung LE26R73BD so far, struggling to choose.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Happy Xmas

Got a pansonic, slightly older model (lxd52 in 32" had it a year, not had a single problem, very happy with it. One suggestion I would make is to get one with as many hdmi sockets as you can as they will replace scarts eventually. Only other thing is with a built in digital freeview tuner whether you want one with a top-up card slot in it for subscription channels/services.

I have got the Philips one, slightly older model again. I think it is the 26PF5520. It is HD ready, Digital, the lot. Overall i would recommend. We have just moved house and thinking of getting a bigger one for the lounge and moving the 26".

I would suggest that the only down side of the Philips TV's is the actually width of them, they seem quite allot wider than the competition which does make them look very large.

Enjoy when you get it.

My lastest copy of Which? just happens to have a reviewof mid sized lcd's. Top of the class is the Sony Bravia KDL-26S010U closely followed by the Panasonic TX-26LXD60 both of which get a best buy rating.

Big thanks all.
I have a Panasonic sitting in the hall!
I also had to buy a Panasonic HD recorder to match, 160GIG! and Freeview and all format DVD and mem card
Working out how all this works will keep me off the streets for a while
