Many of us are enjoying the Westinghouse 27w7. I use mine as a computer monitor and for DVDs. We cannot discuss prices on this board, but you can PM me for more details.
I recommend the Samsung LNS-2651 or Sony 26S2000

Some prefer the Sharp line, but I just prefer the Sony and Samsung Picture.
About the TVs.


Samsung and Sony use the same LCD panels, they're made in a joint factory S-LCD in Korea.


I just prefer the Sony and Samsung picture, it seems to be more intense and 3D looking than the Sharps, even after you take them out of Torch mode.


That is just personal preference though, many think that the Sharps have a more realistic picture, but I think that they look kind of flat and washed out.


The top 3 manufacturers are Sharp, Sony and Samsung so I think you ought to go to BestBuy, CircuitCity or someplace and take a look at them and see what you like.


All three are good TVs, it just comes down to personal preference and price.


I bought a Samsung, because I didn't think that the Sony XBR was worth the extra cash, but you may feel differently.

There's a lot of misinformation out there and this adds to the pile. Westinghouse has nothing to do with Sony.
Westinghouse could be owned by Burger King for all I care. They have good quality LCD's w/ crappy remotes at an unbeatable price. At least 90% of the performance at 50% of the price.
I think the best price/performance 26inch LCD out there is the HP LC2600N. It has the same panel and electronics as the aquos with the addition of a cablecard slot and ATSC tuner. You can find it at J&R's website.
