    Best 26" LCD TV

    freesia39, I have had the Panasonic 26" now for about 3 weeks. I couldn't be any happier. It is the best one I own!! I have even considered purchasing TC-32LX70 one that the same specs. Any one want a Viewsonic 32 that is 18 months old, for like $400??

    PurdueRy, where will Dish Network be getting these analog signals from? Or do you mean only Cable?

    Digital TV's

    BB stopped selling analog TV's a few months back. BB is referring to Better Businesses I would assume. I am on Dish Network so, that is not a worry for me. I do notice that when channels I receive that are broadcasting a digital signal are better, even on my old 20" CRT I have. Almost like...

    Best 26" LCD TV

    A Panasonic TC-26LX70 was the best according to reviews I read. The pricing was my hangup. I could buy some 32's for near the same price. I shall see later this week, when it gets here, how it compares with the Viewsonic and Sharp LCD's I already have.

    Digital TV's

    I purchased three LCD TV's last year, two with HD tuners built in and assume they are digital. Right? Someone ask me if everything being sold now was digital. I didn't really know. Someone set me straight as to when analogs stopped being sold, if they have. Smoke

    Best 26" LCD TV

    I am looking for the absolute best picture with all kinds of broadcasts. Analog,digital or HD. I receive all of my TV from Dish Network. Not looking for the cheapest or most expensive either. Just the best picture I can get. Can't use anything larger because of space limitations. It will...

    Need Suggestions for cellphone?

    Easiest to use is what I am looking for. Minimum of bells and whistles. My wife can't do anything but find the number and push the talk button. Truth is, I am not much better either. Too much technology in the house already. I am dumping all the clocks for satellite controlled ones. All...

    Harddrive Temperature??

    I have a relatively expensive HD that runs in a heat sink with two small dedicated fans to it. It idles at 90/92 degrees in a room the is 75 degrees 24/7. I have replaced it once, under warranty. I have seen it as high as 102. Should I worry? No over clocking on anything!! Smoke

    Video Cards

    flexy, I am not a gamer. I don't anticipate ever being one. So that is not a consideration. My very limited knowledge has me wondering where the audio will come from. I know that may be a dumb question but I don't have a clue. I know the monitor has D-Sub and DVI-D connectors and comes with VGA...
