I wanted a 720p LCD TV with a high dynamic ratio and decent speakers. After comparing the specifications from a number of brands, the Samsung came out on top.

Assembly and setup was simple and quick. I had my TV hooked up and running in 10 minutes. The menu and setup offers many options and adjustments. The picture is bright and sharp. Sounds quality is good.

So far, after a month of use, I've no complaints about this TV.

I purchased the 46 inch version of this TV and loved it so much I wanted to get a smaller one for my room.

Great TV, competitive price, plenty of options, easy to use, and it looks great; not only it's picture, but it's physical appearance as well.

SET IS SUPERB. OPERATES FLAWLESSLY. EASY TO SET UP. WOULD RECCOMEND TO ANYONE.

After 18 months my older version of this television LN26A450C refused to power on. The red standby panel light glowed but turning on the television failed. This is caused by a defective 10-volt capacitor on the power board. A known and very common problem. Google 'Samsung LCD Capacitor' to find Youtube do-it-yourself videos and forum discussions on how to replace this capacitor yourself for less than $3.

I had this LCD for 13 months and then one day it just blanked out. When I turned it back on it would come on for about 2 minutes (no picture) and then turn itself off. I took it back to Best Buy who said it was out of Warranty by one month but agreed to send it in for repair at my cost. I received a call from the repair Dept a few days ago who quoted me a price of $399. They said the main board was burned up. I paid @ $600 for this TV 13 months ago and now you can buy the same Samsung LCD for @ $400. Needless to say that I will not be repairing this TV. Anyone need a 26" doorstop? I have put my digital 2o" Sony back in service (that I've had for 10 years) and it's doing fine. I will say that the Samsung did have a nice picture while it lasted.
