Samsung LN-S2641D 26 in. HDTV TV

This TV has a great picture, is lightweight and the narrow case it just great. You can carry this TV around with one hand. This really beats the old tube TV's. The remote control seems set up well. You would probably want to get a decent sound system for this TV as the 5 watt speakers are a little light duty. So you want to budget for this. I bought it to be mounted and that is its one drawback. The rear of the TV is not made strong enough to properly handle a mount. The plastic in the rear bowed out when I attached screws through the mount into the TV. I think that the screws would pull out through the TV back if you tightened them too much. I had some concern that the TV might not work after the case bowed out, but it still works fine. Once you have mounted this TV, you might have a hard time returning it if you didn't want it. If you don't want to mount this TV it is just fine. I have looked around at other 26" flat screen TVs and they are made stronger in the rear to make mounting better. Make sure that you want a 26" as you might want to get a larger screen. You probably would not want to pay more than about $750 for this puppie. Best Buy and Circiut City will try to take you for more, but don't buy it there-unless you like paying more money. Bid for it on EBAY.

the picture is great, easy to use, lots of functions (which i haven't been able to play with all just yet), remote has buttons well placed. there are a few small things that are inconvenient: channel changing is slightly slow compared to other tv's, the PIP is actually PIP for different video feeds (say your playstation and tv channel, meaning you can't PIP 2 different tv channels). for a tv in my room, it's fantastic.
