Sharp LC-26D4U AQUOS 26-Inch Flat Panel  LCD HDTV
Best designed LCD TV
Buying electronics that involves significant investment is made even more difficult in the internet age because you always tend to get lost in the sheer amount of reviews/ feedback etc that is available. I was totally unsure as to what brand of LCD TV to purchase. The models from major playes like Sharp, Samsung etc seemed so much more expensive than that availble for Sanyo   or Westing House etc. I have been using this LCD tv for over 6 months now and here are my thoughts.    PROS:  1. This model is well designed (exteranal appearance). It could easliy be the center piece of a room for the aesthetically inclined.    2. You always get it cheaper on Amazon. It costs much more if you get it from a store. The price on Amazon dropped $70 after I purchased it (within a week). Amazon was generous enough to extend the price cut.    3. The picture quality is excellent and the refresh rates are good. I can play XBOX 360 games very well on it    CONS:    1. Those new to LCD tv would find that the lag when you change channels is a bit more than traditional CRT. This is something which make changing channels (which I do often) cumbersome. This, I believe is more an LCD technology issue.
