It is only 720P, but I imagine that is usually enough for a 27" viewed from some distance away. I suppose it also depends on the source.

They're cheaper because they use TN panels. :nono:
I don't think it costs much more to build a 32" over a 26", so the smaller ones are poor value. Unfortunately, Lunar says he can only fit a 26".

Most are PVA or equivalent technology. Panasonic uses almost exclusively IPS. LG/Phillips supposedly also uses IPS, but I don't know if that applies to some, all, or none at all these days.

I'm not sure about smaller sets and wide viewing angle panels. It may be a crap shoot...
The speakers look hidden or practically non-existent. Would it help to get some cheap mini computer speakers to clear up the sound? I think a pair could sit right behind the TV.

Sorry, I was thinking of 32" and up. As Stereodude says, it's a bit of a challenge in the size range you're looking at.
Wall-mount it instead?

Abso-bloody-lutely!
Here's my tip: I've found far better value for money in lesser-known brands, i.e. NOT Logitech/Altec Lansing/etc. As a rule of thumb, check the weight of the subwoofer (and to a lesser extent, the size of the driver). Even $50 carefully spent will probably improve the sound; $150-250 will better many so-called Home Theater systems from the mass-market manufacturers.
I'm talking 2+1 BTW.
There is a large window nearby so no wall mount is feasible.
It is a shame that the old 26-27" CRTs had quite decent and loud sound and now there is nothing but a tin can speaker with rattling plastic. Even my 20" 2005 VGA LCD TV had side panel speakers with decent volume.
I don't think the bass matters much. I use these with my computer, though they are a little space consuming. I'll have to see if they are in any stores. :cat:

Take a look at today's woot?
Wow, how timely is that?

Perhaps a better question is why? If the old TV still works, why replace it?
Thanks, but I must buy from December 19-20, ideally on location.
