700 for a used 26'?? Good luck with that.
I just bought a new 32' for 1000. (also a Samsung)
It is a great TV though.

samsung destroy westinghouse in terms of quality, options and features. my dad has a westinghouse in his bedroom its a shame. now if you have a westinghouse 1080p, those were actually built decently when calibrated correctly. 12/5/2006 12:04:41 AM |

I agree Samsung owns the LCD market......but I like my panel, cant see the justification of buying a more expensive smaller panel with little difference.

wow, its in brand new condition too 12/5/2006 12:26:40 AM |

ya i tried purchasing that one. the guy couldnt provide a receipt which means its useless. say it comes with 4 dead pixels or a cracked screen. neither one of those will go with manufacture warranty. and since i dont have receipt i cant return it to the store. 12/5/2006 1:41:28 AM |

^^bhswain, how does that westinghouse look anyway? 12/5/2006 1:47:27 AM |
bhswain All American 1101 Posts user info edit post |
I love it, I mean above all cant beat the price..........579.99 or so after tax...doubt they have anymore, the newer model has lower contrast and slower response time. Right now I am also using it as my computer monitor via VGA. Has lots of nice features, no PIP though. Picks up all the HD channels just by plugging in a RF cable from the wall and basic service

FYI: 2000:1 is cinema standard contrast...any less, and you're not seeing it like it was filmed/meant to be seen, but above that, you're money....it's just that the human eye can't tell much difference unless you're talking a 1000-1500 difference 12/5/2006 2:53:55 PM |

No lcd tv has a 2000:1 contrast ratio.
Dimming the backlight, and then cranking it to max are such irrellevent schemes to measure usable contrast ratio.
Even the best plasmas arnt 2000:1 in actual use (not even 1000:1).
I wish they would implement an industry standard in measurement of contrast ratios.
but alas.....
