What is the best 26" LCD HDTV?

Question

I'm on a budget of around 500-600 dollars so don't want to spend anymore than that. I had taken a look at a Westinghouse at Best Buy since I have a 22" WS monitor from them and love it, but when I asked them to plug in a dvd player to it, I can hardly hear the sound, is that normal also? Don't really want or need a 32" tv too.

Answer 1

Hi, take a look at telebid online, they are an auction that you could get a tv cheap, also find samsung seem to get the best reveiws at the moment, hope this helps, goodluck :-)

Answer 2

For that type of budget, you should be able to get a nice 26" TV online.  Check out the Samsung LN26A450 or Sony KDL26M4000.

Westinghouse is a budget brand, you'll get a decent TV but not the best.

Answer 3

For the price I would go with a Samsung..Great contrast and a very well built LCD.If you are looking for a off brand a up and coming company is Vizo.Walmart carries them and for the price not a bad tv.Good luck on your quest for a tv..

Answer 4

The best 26"LCD HDTV would be Benq or Sony.

You can't hear thesound just because of the speaker of monitor usally very small with low power design.

i use monitor to play TV or DVD, but I nead to install another loud speaker or I can't hear it clearly.

Answer 5

Don't go to Best Buy.  Get yourself a consumerreports.org account & compare those models listed there with what you find on cnet.com.

Weigh what features are important to you.  Not what's important to a sales rep.

Answer 6

Well, do some more research on the internet about televisions. I have a 19 or 20 inch samsung. It's loud when I need it to be and has a really nice picture. It's a lcd by the way, and I've had it for about two years with no problem. If you have a small room, I would recommend something that's a nice size and not overbearing to the eye in the room also. Bigger isn't always better. 1
