This tv blew me away. Prior to this i had a 26 inch Hyundai LCD. Not a bad TV by any means it just lacked HDMI. SO since a 26in is the largest tv I can get sent to me I decided to go with this Phillips. I am so glad I did. This tv has all of the perks of a LCD yet looks like a plasma. The colors are rich and breathtaking. It also has plenty of inputs. The only bad thing is if you sit close to the tv you can see the pixels. The speakers I have yet to try out since I have a Bose 3-2-1 system. When the TV is off it still grabs you attention with its sleek appearance. All and all I love this TV and I am very happy with my purchase. Phillips in my mind has always made one of the best TVs of the market

Recently I moved back home while trying to save up for my own place. I was searching for a television for would fit well in my bedroom, which could then possibly function as a main television after I move out. Originally I planned on buying a flatscreen television, but I fell in love with this great LCD. I had seen this tv on display in Best Buy, and was amazed by the quality of the picture. Also, compared to other 26" LCD widescreen tvs, it had an unbeatable price. I have been very pleased with my puchase, and would highly recommend this TV for anyone who is looking for a smaller sized high quality picture.

I have only owned this TV for about a day so I can't speak for long term usage. The main reasons I wanted this TV over a few other choices were the built in ATSC tuner, the size, and the picture quality. The ATSC tuner accepts not only analog signals but digital signals as well (aka HDTV if supported by broadcaster). The TV pulled 7 digital channels from my HDTV-compatible antenna and three of them (NBC, CW, and FOX) broadcast in HD. The picture quality of the HD broadcasts is unbelievably crisp and clear. The size is convenient because 26" is big enough to enjoy but small enough to be movable if necessary, not to mention the TV is only about 3" deep and not heavy at all. When I hooked my progressive scan DVD player in through component cables the picture was again sharp and clear, making movies a joy to watch.
The little gripes I have (not big enough to deduct any stars) are the following:
- Volume between analog/USB media and digital/DVD media is much different. The analog and USB are much louder and require me to turn down the volume each time I use them after a digital channel.
- There is no volume display when adjusting (VOL ---|--------) though there is one in the audio menu.
- Weak channels automatically delete, though this hasn't a problem for me yet.

That's it! Other than those 3 things I LOVE this TV and HIGHLY recommend it!

I've had this TV for quite a while now and haven't had an issue.
The only complaint I have is the black frame around the screen hides part of the picture and close captions on the bottom.
Otherwise it's a very nice quality unit...

This is the second purchase I made thru Amazon.com, never again!
I was overcharged for a product which I never received, tried to get a credit for my purchase,never received the credit either.
As for the Philips 26" TV, excellent quality, easy to operate, very sharp picture, I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Just don't purchase it from Amazon!!!
