Boxing Day tomorrow. Plenty of TVs on sale for the next couple of weeks. I've been thinking of upgrading my bedroom TV to an LED set. My trusty Samsung HDTV has developed the high pitched noise issue so time to confine it to the basement.
Unfortunately, 26'' TVs are rare to find. I've measured and it's the biggest set I can put in my TV unit. I'm in no mood to buy new furniture just for a TV.
Here's some things I'm looking for:
-720p but would be nice if it can accept and downscale a 1080p signal (as most 720p TVs are actually 1336x768, I find 720p signals look blurry so I usually use 1080i)
-Lowest response time I can get. My current TV is 8ms. 5ms or lower preferred.
-Minimum two (2) HDMI ports
I've been looking at two so far.
Samsung UN26C4000

LG 26LE5300

Looks like the LG has been discontinued though, but it's 2.3ms response time and ability to accept a 1080p signal make it difficult to beat. The Samsung doesn't list response time. Some people seem to think it's 4ms.
