With prices for LCD TV's falling rapidly, i decided it was time to
replace my 5 year old 20" Sharp EDTV and step up to HD. A side by side
comparison made it clear that i had made the right decision. The LG's
picture quality is superior in almost every way.

Pro's
-----
-There aren't many quality 26" tv's out there and the 26LV2500 is one of
the better ones i've seen so far.

-The picture is vibrant and sharp and comparable to some mid-range
32" non led-backlit lcd's i looked at in store. Response time looks
good to my eyes.

-Most 26" tv's include 2 hdmi ports, the LG has 3.

-The LG is attractive with its glass-like bezel.Thin and bright, thanks to
the LED backlight.

-The Intelligent Sensor works rather well and is surprisingly
useful.

-Menu system very well laid out with useful functionality.

-Off angle viewing is pretty bad. Colors wash... Read more

I was looking for a small LCD TV for our guest bedroom and decided on the LG 26LV2500. This seemed to offer the most features at the lowest price for the use it would get--only when we had guests in our spare bedroom. The set arrived very promptly in the mfg. original packaging and there was no damage to the carton and everything was there. It was easy to assemble and set up. Since I was using a basic cable connection(no box) I needed only the coax connection. The set scanned for and found all my cable provider's digital channels, both HD and SD(There are no more analog transmisions in my area). The picture is bright and clear(at least when viewed from bed) and although "only" 720p it looks as good(to me)as the two large 1080p sets that I already have. The sound is certainly fine for the use it will get. All the settings are easy to access and adjust and there are many more inputs than I will need on this set. I did resurrect an very old(non blueray) DVD player and connected it... Read more

I am, by no means a huge HD fanatic, and I don't get anal about black levels or minor flaws (really how could you at this price;) but I know when something is pleasing to my eyes and this TV is it, to say the least. Playing the PS3 or watching Breaking Bad is an experience words cannot describe, but I'll give it a shot. black levels are deep, colors are vivid (really vivid,) you can have it as bright ass you want without the strain on your eyes, and all for less than $400. Sound quality from the unit is extremely poor I have to admit (staticy bass just one example,) but the tv is as thick as a penny (not a figure of speech.) just get some computer speakers with a sub-woofer, you'll be fine. I have only used the HDMI and USB ports so I can't touch on RCA input quality. no real complaints except for an somewhat noticeable dead pixel or something in the top right hand corner of the screen ( It is only noticed on a pure white screen, I could care less.)
