We purchased 2 flatscreens due the amazing value - unmatched anywhere else. We find them easy to use and great picture. We watch alot of movies and the built in DVD was a must. It is easy to use. We love our televisions.

One of the things I really liked and appreciated about this television set is the easy to read and understand menu and remote. Some other electronic appliances I have require me to read the manual everytime I have to reset something. This one is simple enough for even me to operate.

My complaint is with the basic functions of this TV. Why put the manual buttons on the top of the TV? Why no channel return on the remote? When you power on the TV. You stare at a black screen for 10 full seconds then a message comes on that says "please wait" along with spinning arrow as if it is thinking about whether there is a dvd in the player or not. I haven't even tried that. Sharp missed the mark on this one. It's going back-- .

At first, I was shopping for a cheap 32" HDTV for my bedroom. After getting burned by two straight bad 32" HDTVs from other brands, not wanting to spend more money for the more expensive 32" sets, and seeing that a 32" screen is a little too big for my small bedroom, I decided to look one size smaller and get a good 26" television at the same price range.
I singled out this Sony model out of the other 26" televisions because it was the only 26" television that actually had a vertical viewing angle. The pictures on the rest of the 26" televisions turn white when viewed from above and turn purple and green when viewed from below. This Sony model does not have this problem.
The picture is great for an LCD. There are settings to improve the levels of black and white. Picture from the component connections look good. Analog channels have a bit of static in some colors. I don't have any HDMI device to try out the HDMI ports.

Picture and viewing angle are very good. Sound is clear but not much bass. The shiny black finish can be a little distracting. I like the remote layout and the on-screen menus. All in all, I like it.

I bought a 37" Regza a few months ago and like it but this smaller Toshiba is way inferior...the vertical viewing angle is limited to about 10 degrees...which makes for very poor pic quality if the watcher isn't pretty much smack in front of the screen.
Not impressed.

No problem to set up, worked without any trouble. The picture is good and the sound is fine. Great deal for a secondary TV. Just hope it keeps working!

This is the perfect bedroom TV. Consumer Reports rated this 26-inch TV #1 at this size and it lives up to that rating in every way. Great color and sound. Everything with the vendor was also 5-star. Arrived in perfect condition within 4 days of the order with standard shipping. You cannot go wrong buying this TV from this vendor.

What can I say besides that everything went perfect. Amazon is great - I ordered and a few days later I received the product. They had the best price. The product itself is great for our sitting room. It replaced a Sharp LCD HDTV and there was a major difference.

This is a good all around HDTV in the 26" size-range that I had to have for my smallish entertainment cabinet. The DTV & HDTV picture quality (via Comcast Cable "out of the wall" no set-top box) is very good, particularly for the price.
My only BIG disappointment was the audio output options; the ONLY one available is a Digital Audio coaxial output. Since I'm using this as my primary TV, connected to a Home Theater system for improved audio, this is a major CON for me. The only way I can output analog audio is to route everything thru a clunky Cable set-top box (which I didn't otherwise want or need) that DOES have an analog output. Then I discovered that changing from "out of the wall" cable to the basic cable set-top box automatically converts all previously available digital TV signals back to analog!! Since I'm not willing to add to my already sky-high monthly cable bill to upgrade to all-HDTV programing & set-top box, I'll be moving this TV to a bedroom (where the TV speakers

Everything about this set is wonderful but ONE: There is a known SONY flaw with this particular model (26-M4000) and the HDMI cable connection when connecting to an HD Cable Box. I experienced a very thin white line that I called a "pearl necklace" of digital interference at the top of the screen on ALL non-HD broadcast channels and many of the network HD channels. You can fake it out by using ZOOM but then you lose some of the picture. I guess you could live with it, but it annoyed the heck out of me. The workaround is to use component cables (provided for free by my cable company). I attached the component cables and "voila" -- no more "pearl necklace" interference. The sound and picture are sterling but the quality is a tick less fine than with an HDMI hookup. But I paid $579, returned the Monster HDMI cable and saved myself that $80 expense, so I really have nothing to complain about.

Did quite a bit of research between Samsung and Sony on their lines of smaller LCDs - had a 22" Samsung 650 but the viewing angles were not very good (very light from viewed from above, and very dark when viewed from below). This Sony has excellent picture from any viewing angle and the price is very comparable with other 26" on the market.

I got this TV, mostly because it was a name brand and cheaper than most. I really like all the ports and I was willing to go with a 720 rather than a 1080 out of pricing. for a simple high def TV, this is really nice, I play alot of games and watch even more movies, so my old CRT wasnt going to cut it anymore. A few things I found to grip about(isnt that why we all read these things anyways?, lol)
1. the speakers broadcast most of the sound BEHIND the TV, now my games sound OK, but movies lose a bit. I would recomend using a stereo or alternate device to broadcast your sound.
2. I would have liked more than one S-Video port, I use alot of devices, and don't want to go out and get a componant cable just to have the DVD player and games at the same time with out loss of signal.
and 3. It was kinda wierd to find the buttons are not on the front of the TV, so that can make changing channels ackward if you lose your remote, and your TV is against something, not something that effects

The Sony Bravia KDL-26M4000 is by far the best Sony TV I have ever purchased. The picture quality is unbelieveable. Although this tv is a
HDLCD, I don't have HD service but the picture is just like HD with just a cable hook-up. I highly recommend this model.

This unit was easy to set up and we liked design, features and picture quality.However, the DVD would not eject. Only after tilting the unit into a horizontal position. We will have to call for warranty service, lets see how this goes...

After a few weeks of limited use (bedroom TV);
Picture is great. Sound is ok for smaller, quiet room. Remote is not the best: no channel return button to go back and forth. Lag time when switching channels is a bit too long for my liking. DVD works and plays well. Very convenient.

I got this as an upgrade from a terrible, bulky, old 19-inch tv that screeched at me. I think it is has really nice audio and video quality, and I love the built in DVD player, which upconverts my old disks. The SD card slot is also really cool, although I have not really used it yet. Overall it is a great tv for someone like myself, who is not a techie and doesn

This tv is a good value for the price. The audio is a little low and varies by station. The picture quality is good. The instruction manual wasn't as helpful as I expected. It took a little trial and error to set up. That was the worst part. Overall, I would recommend this tv and would buy it again.

This is overall a great TV for the money. But when you change channels it takes about 3 seconds to tune in. This can be annoying if you like to channel surf

This product was "back ordered" at EVERY major electronics store, both
national and local but for the same price the model it replaced was
still available. Thanks to Amazon were got what we wanted, and fast.
I might note that 2 of this model, "used", were available at the same
price at the time, I assume both were display models since that seemed
to be all that was at retailers. After our purchase both of these items
were increased $100.
Thanks, Amazon, even if we checked with about 12 outlets before we
thought to go to you. It only takes one good one to fill the order.
