Samsung LN-R268W 26-Inch HD-Ready Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV
Great LCD TV!
Bought the LN-R268W last June and it has met all of my expectations.  Great picture, good sound and great viewing angle. <br /> <br />For people considering a new LCD TV, I would advise looking at an actual picture, as the quality varies a surprising amount from brand to brand.  There are 3 important things to consider, in my view:  1.  Resolution (most sets are pretty similar now), 2.  Contrast ratio (still some wide variations here) and 3.  Viewing angle (also a lot of variation).  In simple terms, resolution tells you how many pixels there are (how good the picture quality is), contrast ratio is the difference between the darkest and lightest image that the TV can show, and viewing angle is how far to the side you can be and still see the picture. <br /> <br />The Samsung is strong on resolution (although most branded LCDs are), but it was at the top of the pack for contrast ratio and viewing angle.  I have not had any problems with deterioration of picture quality, but if this is a common flaw, it would be a big negative, in my view. <br />
