Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room? 
| With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. - Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Product Description

 Unbelievable Versatility August 27, 2010
Marcus
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
First and foremost - I've owned this tv for about two weeks now. Bought it with Amazon Prime to get free 2 day shipping (totally worth it) and my only qualm was it arrived at like 8pm the day it was supposed to come. Meh, two days is two days, no biggie.
This is a great tv, the colors are deep, the backlight is strong and the overall design is absolutely breathtaking, its barely thicker than my phone! The number of ports on the back is astonishing as well, although I have no intention of ever wall mounting it, having ports facing outward on the back may be a point of hesitation for anyone with that in mind. The size and relatively small bezel means it fits well in any medium sized room and in a small room like mine it looks perfect. I read the top negative feedback and I was quite apprehensive about buying this tv if the connection to a computer looked like crap but I am so happy to report that that's not the case at all. If anything with a little fiddling in the settings (should be the first thing you do with any electronics purchase) the great sharpness and color quality of the tv when connected to my laptop blew me away. This tv is now my default monitor for my laptop, which, besides my PS3 (which looks brilliant on it btw, ridiculous black levels make this a dream to play on) is probably what the majority of its use will be as I watch a ton of movies on my computer. As a matter of fact I was so blown away by this tv I impulse bought a 2 tb harddrive to download new movies and shows onto just so I could watch them on this sexy beast of a mid-sized tv. Speaking of which, the USB function of this tv is pretty alright too if you don't have a computer monitor cable to connect to it or any other mode of watching downloaded media. It doesn't read every format but for the easy stuff and whatnot it picks them up and plays them quite painlessly and considering all the other ports there's really no video file you can't, with a little bit of thinking and proper cabling, figure out how to play on this tv, whether through its inbuilt usb, a flash drive on a ps3, a laptop with a monitor cable hooked up, as far as I've seen the sheer number of options you have means the possibilities are plentiful. Highly recommended for anything you don't need a 42+ incher for.
Did I mention it was less than $400? Why haven't you bought this yet?!
Love my TV August 25, 2010
K. MacKenzie (Minnesota USA)
I bought this TV for my college dorm, and I wanted to get one that was on the higher end and would last me for years to come. So far so good, I hooked it up to my laptop as soon as I got it to see how a couple DVD's looked. They were just great, whoever said this TV looks bad hooked up to the computer must've been running a terrible resolution: my laptop runs full 1080p, and even when downgraded to display on the TV everything looked great. The LED really does make a difference; I miss the brilliance of the picture when watching my Sony LCD (full HD Bravia) in the other room. Overall a fantastic buy, you won't find many quality brand LED TV's for this price for a while until LED catches on as the default lighting scheme.
Great TV July 28, 2010

This is a great choice for someone looking for a small TV to put in a bedroom. I play video games on it, and the colors are fantastic. The LED back light is also amazing, and has plenty of brightness settings to set it somewhere comfortable. I'm a little bummed it isn't 1080p, but 720p looks just fine on a 26' screen.
Works great July 26, 2010

I was considering 1080p but I only need a TV for XBOX360 and non-HD cable tv. Xbox and Netflix streaming works great. PC connection via RGB cable looks good. Its a small resolution for a 26" tv so it doesn't look like HD but it doesnt look bad either.
No complaints, 720p is more than enough unless you have blu-ray and want to utilize the Full HD 1080p, otherwise this tv will work great on video games (broadcast in 720p) and DirecTV (720p).
 Good but horrible if connected to computer. July 5, 2010

The TV look's great when watching TV/Movies or playing video games. Its down fall and reason I returned it is because when I connected it to my computer the picture just looked horrible! I tired both the VGA and HDMI port to my computer, changed monitor settings on tv and in computer and got the same results. This was going to replace my old 27" hdtv that I been using as a monitor/gaming tv but that 3 year old tv is still better than this new LED LG. Also, the audio not great on this tv, not horrible but nothing special. I really liked that you can hook up an jump drive to the TV and play movies off of it or look at pictures/play music. Although file compatibility seem a little limited. Overall if you plan to use this tv for watching movies/TV and/or playing some video games then this is a decent TV for the price. Just don't plan to hook it up to a computer.
