There are no 26" sets listed for 2010 in the Sony or Panasonic lineups. Is this the end of the 26" set? Any idea what's going on?

Thanks for the input. This TV may end up as an external monitor to the MacBook Pro at some point in time so I'm just worried that the 32" might be too big to put on a desk down the road. I could get a wall mount and mount the TV above the desk, so that could be an option though.
Are the view angle issues something that become less of an issue at 32" and above or would I need to go even larger to get away from that issue? Also, what exactly is the IPS panel I see referred to here?
Thanks again!

Awesome info quattroG. Thanks so much! Based on your username, do you drive an Audi? I used to have a 2006 A3![]()

I'm right now deciding between: 2009 Panasonic TC-L26X1 vs. 2010 Samsung LN26C350. It doesn't look like Panasonic is coming out with a 2010 X2 in the 26" size so that leaves me to decide between last year's model and this year's Samsungs.
Does anyone have any feedback regarding these two TVs I'm considering? It's going in an extra bedroom at the moment and will probably end up in a kitchen or workout room at some point in the future which is the reason I'm not looking for anything larger that 26". I plan to hook up a Panasonic Blu Ray player and a MacBook Pro to it in the mean time while it's in the extra bedroom. Also, the iPod dock on the Panasonic is a feature I don't really need.
I've never bought an LCD before as you can see from my signature so I'm just on the fence at the moment between these two sets and was looking for some useful advice. Most places I see online have the Samsung for slightly more than last years Panasonic but, either way I just want to buy the better TV of the two.
Thanks!

This is an issue if you plan on placing the tv up high will be looking up at it. Unless you use a mount that will allow you to tilt the set down, you will notice that the picture becomes very dark when not looking directly at it.

I would have this issue in our bedroom and can't really wall mount. Are there any LCD TVs in this range that have a tilting stand? There's a Samsung monitor with speakers and tuner on Newegg, but it's 16:10 like quattroG's example. It seems like tilt on a smaller model wouldn't be that hard for the benefit it provides.

Here's the Samsung. According to the pictures it looks like it tilts, but if those pics represent the extremes it doesn't tilt forward very far, so you could be right. It seems about the same tilt as my Acer monitor - maybe I can test that. Perhaps there's such a thing as a replacement tilting stand for smaller TVs.
