I'm planning on getting a 26" LCD for the bedroom.
I don't want to spend much more than £400.
I've been looking at this Samsung:

and also a Philips for a few quid more.
I've heard a lot of praise for the Samsung sets. Any recommendations? |

Looks like a solid TV. Does all the imporant input resolutions, good contrast, and good brightness. Even plays NTSC video in PAL mode, which I think is a cool feature, especially if you download a lot of movies.
I absolutely love Samsung TVs. The fact that Sony rebrands the Samsungs they buy, as original Sony's, is amazing in itself.
The only thing I cannot find is the response time. If you play a lot of games, you really want to make sure you get an LCD with the lowest possible response time. |

| This HDTV has a native resolution of 1366x768. That means that the 720p content will upconvert to 1366x768 to fill the whole screen. Any content thats in 1080i will downconvert to 1366x768 as well. |

If you use a regular computer in the bedroom also consider a bigger LCD monitor, and get a TV card for the computer. I just got a Samsung 22" 206BW, excellent color and no ghosting. Great on DVDs on the PC, equal to most LCD TVs and better than tube TVs.
I have an ATI TV Wonder (for regular TV, not HDTV) in my computer that works OK with a satellite TV box or cable TV signal but for those inputs an LCD TV would have a better picture. |

| I would shell in a few more quids for the Philips. They have a solid reputation for top notch picture quality and serious lifespan. Still, the Samsung is very cool |
