    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??

    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
