LG 26LD350 26-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV Review

After returning 3 HDTVs (Samsung, Sharp and Sanyo) I'm sooooo happy with this one. A perfect picture and great sound. I barely have to raise the sound to hear it, which is a problem with many other HDTVs. There's no distortion of the images and the color is perfect. I was almost going to buy a 22-inch model, but it looked small in the store, so I went for the 26-inch and I'm glad I did. A good size if you're about 10' away from the set. The on-screen menu is a little difficult to figure out ... but once you get the hang of it ... it's ok. A definate buy at a very good price. Also, it's always good dealing with Amazon - trustworthy, efficient, competitive pricing and good quality products.

| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

First HDTV purchase and I Love it! - Dustin -
This is my first time buying a TV ever. I went with LG because of the brand recognition. This TV is in my bedroom which makes the 26" a great size, no need for the 32". The color and sound are both great whether I'm using my DVD player, DirecTV, or streaming Netflix through my laptop. I've had it for about a month now and it's still working great. The menu also has a lot of neat features. I definitely recommend this unit. Oh, and PS: I don't have any HD services so I can't comment on that, but regular digital looks great!
Expensive 26" LG flatscreen HGTV - Fred R. Hermann -
Nice unit but paid too much for it's size . Had a size constraint due to location. Amazon delivered what I ordered though. Great service but to expensive for 26" TV.
Pleased with TV - P. Iannicari - Philadelphia, Pa. USA
Received the TV in a very timely manner. The picture is great. Have it mounted in the bedroom. Just the right size.
Great second tv - shaman - Burnsville, MN USA
This is a great tv. we use it in our master bedroom. Has all the features I wanted. We have dropped cable tv except for basic cable. I use my computer to connect the tv to my netflix account. I watch movies and netfilx content when I want and the reception is great. It is so easy to connect and the color and clarity are great.
