I got this TV, mostly because it was a name brand and cheaper than most. I really like all the ports and I was willing to go with a 720 rather than a 1080, mostly out of pricing concerns. For a simple high def TV, this is really nice, I play alot of games and watch even more movies, so my old CRT wasnt going to cut it anymore. A few things I found to gripe about(isnt that why we all read these things anyways?, lol)
1. the speakers broadcast most of the sound BEHIND the TV, now my games sound OK, but movies lose a bit. I would recommend using a stereo or alternate device to broadcast your sound.

2. I would have liked more than one S-Video port, I use alot of devices, and don't want to go out and get a component cable just to have the DVD player and games at the same time with out loss of signal.

and 3. It was kinda wierd to find the buttons are not on the front of the TV, so that can make changing channels awkward if you lose your remote, or if your TV is against something. Not something that affects everyone, but hey, just a simple problem.

all in all, this is a great TV for someone who wants reasonable HD at a low cost. If you are looking for a 720p, just buy this one, toshiba is a crappy brand, and sony costs too much. and everytime I buy panasonic, I am always satisfied.
hope my review helps

I spent two months shopping for a new HDTV. Checked out all the top ones. Decided on a Samsung, then saw the new Panasonic 26LX85. It blew me away with the picture and features. Went back three times to different sellers, and it always caught my eye.

Just received it two days ago. Absolutely made the right decision. Get it before it becomes the top seller it really will be. Lots of features, no pc hookup(get 32") and 10K dynamic. Check it out. Panasonic you made a great viewing experience for me!!!

Excellent quality for its price category, especially given that it was on sale when I bought it. Very high quality image and the speaker sound is about as good as internal speakers get; given that these were my two main qualifications for it, I am well satisfied. Easy to set up as well. My sole small irritation stems from the manual, which could have been easier to read, but all in all an excellent buy.

This is the perfect bedroom TV. Consumer Reports rated this 26-inch TV #1 at this size and it lives up to that rating in every way. Great color and sound. Everything with the vendor was also 5-star. Arrived in perfect condition within 4 days of the order with standard shipping. You cannot go wrong buying this TV from this vendor.

One of the things I really liked and appreciated about this television set is the easy to read and understand menu and remote. Some other electronic appliances I have require me to read the manual everytime I have to reset something. This one is simple enough for even me to operate.

I love this. I looked at a 40 inch and this and this had far better picture quality and sound. I mainly wanted this for video games and it was great with movies too. It also paid to have Amazon Prime, because I saved a fortune with the free shipping.

First time HDtver. Picture is excellent, Panasonic support made set up a breeze for a novice, Amazon delivery in a day with Prime. Very Pleased!!!!

I've had this for four months now and have no complaints. Video is good - the few things I get digitally at this point are excellent. Sound is much better than I had thought possible. It was easy to get up and running. I have extremely limited space for a t.v. and the biggest one I had ever owned was 15" because anything bigger was too deep for the shelf it had to sit on. I decided flat-screens had come down enough for me to make my move. The strong Consumer Reports evaluation of the 32" sibling of this one was what caused me to investigate it initially. I'm very happy I bought it. From my perspective 26" is just gigantic. And at this size, the 720 vs. 1080 thing really makes no nevermind.

This tv was easy for me to install & set-up and I am by no means a tech person. The picture and sound are GREAT! LOVE this tv!

Great looking all around. This is my 6th flatscreen purchase in the last year, and I am very happy with it. Best viewing angle & Sound. Great Picture quality. Have it hanging in the Kitchen and is perfect. May not be as "sleek" looking (a little "fatter" front to back) as the LG or Samsung. But more than makes up for it in picture and sound quality. Also Rated #1 26" on Consumer Reports.
