REVIEW

By Dave Salvator

When it comes to HDTVs, usually bigger is better. But sometimes you want a smaller unit, for a bedroom, home office, or small living space, for example. Enter the Dell W2600 26-inch LCD HDTV. With its compact size and relatively low price for a flat-panel HDTV ($1,349 direct), the W2600 could be just what you're looking for.

Bottom Line

The W2600 would make a fine second HDTV for a bedroom, and it could also serve as a primary TV in a smaller living space. It works well in a brightly lit room, and its $1,349 price won't break the bank.

Pros

Solid overall image quality. Good connection options. Small size lets it fit into tight spaces. Competitively priced.

Cons

Standard-definition 4:3 content looks small on screen. Lacks individual input buttons on the remote.

Welcome to a revolutionary new dimension in LCD TV technology. With a depth of less than one inch at its thinnest point, and a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1, the AQUOS Limited Edition Series is the culmination of 35 years of Sharp’s LCD innovation. Unmatched picture quality, ultra-thin design, and low energy consumption: it will change the way you watch TV. Part of Sharp’s line of 120 Hz LCD TVs.
