Samsung's 26-inch LE26R41BDX LCD TV Reviewed

While we were taking a peak at Samsung's summer line of HDTVs, TrustedReviews was busy testing, and ultimately falling deeply in love with, their budget-friendly LE26R41BDX 26-inch LCD HDTV. The 1,366 x 768 box sports all the usual inputs (HDMI, component video, PC and SCART) and an 800:1 contrast ratio, but also includes a surprising array of high-end features, such as a digital tuner and a slot for "pay TV" subscription cards, all for the low -- at least by UK standards -- price of £600 ($1100). Ultimately though, it comes down to picture quality and that's where the review gets the mushiest, raving about dark blacks, intense colors and an "unusually potent backlight." It sounds like a solid deal to us, especially when you consider the alternative.
