I was looking for a 26" LCD TV for my room. In my trip to Best Buy, the one that caught my glance the most was a Samsung 26" 720P. The model number on it was LN26A450 and it was $599

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102200 is the newegg equilvelent. They also had a Sony and an LG, but honestly the Samsung looked the best. Does anyone know much about this TV? I'm mainly going to use it for 360 and movies, but can it double as a computer monitor competantly? Any info would be appreciated!

(Oh yeah, and for an extra $100, is the Best Buy 4 year plan thing worth it, or just hoopla?)
 
Im kinda in the same boat as you. I am juggling between a 32" 1080p tv, 26" 720p, or a 24" monitor. In my search for 26"ers, I have looked at the samsung, Sharp, and the Sony (I believe they are all on the bestbuy website). I liked the Samsung and the Sony ones equally, and the sharp the least. Keep in mind this was in store.

They all had a "PC input" listed on the item information, but I don't know if it was DVI or VGA. I suggest tinkering with the display at the store. You can always return it if you don't like it.

Click to expand...

Best Buy's price "magically" went up $100 overnight, so now it's $699...more expensive then any other 26" they have I think :eek: I didn't pull the trigger, and I already told the Best Buy people were to stick it with their "oh, we have a 60 day pricematch guarantee!"

Only other deal I can find is HHGregg at $629. $29 more, but I dunno.
 
I normally really like LG TV's (I own several) but stay away from the 26" model 26LC7D. I don't believe that Best Buy carries it anymore but just a heads up. They had major backlight issues. The newer model 26LG30 is probably OK though.
