>Hi Marc, hi all - I'm sorry that I haven't found the time to write in much.  Though I haven't been posting, I have consulted eSens when I've wanted to look up information on a specific issue.  This group's archives can be a valuable resource.

>I just happened upon your 2-month-old post because I unfortunately find myself in the market for yet another new bedroom TV.  I was looking to see if I can glean any insights or tips that may have been recently posted here.  A couple of years ago - after a tedious and somewhat prolonged search, I settled on a 26" Samsung LED TV (UN26D4003).  Well, a week ago - burglars broke into our house, and this tv was one of the items that was stolen.  So in a way, I have to start the process all over again. (Do you think if the thieves had known that I was e.s., they would have empathized and left my property alone?  Sure, they would have!)
>
>As far as getting exactly what I had before - there are little-to-no options in that regard.  These Samsung models have mostly vanished from the market;  those that are still around are over $300, and may be sold by vendors that may cause Samsung to disregard my warranty should I develop problems with the tv. 
>
>But it's both interesting and threatening to see how the mainstream tv market has changed in 2 years.  Two years ago, CCFL (fluorescent backlight) LCD TVs were still pretty firmly established as the main type of LCD TVs being sold.  Now, it seems that the CCFL LCDs have vanished from showroom floors and they are selling nothing but LED TVs now.  I was trying to be optimistic about this change - there are some (non-e.s.-related?) positives about LED TVs - but perhaps circumstances and reading this group may bring me back to a sobering reality.
>
>For some odd reason, several manufacterers have mostly moved away from 26" TVs, too.  I found the 26" to be a good size for my bedroom - 22" TVs just seem too small to focus on from the opposite side of the room.  Now, there seem to be more 24" TVs than 26" TVs - I may go with that size.  It seems that the market is pushing the consumer who used to have 26" TVs to go larger, though.  Exactly what an e.s.'er needs.
>
>There was one 26" TV available that I thought would work - a LG (26LN4500).  But - now that I've bought it, I've found it to be considerably worse than I perceived it to be in the store.  I will probably return it.  Maybe a cheaper, lower-caliber t.v. might work better - such as an Insignia.  There is a 26" Samsung LED TV (2013 model?) that I can buy directly from the Samsung website - but I'm afraid that this particular TV will be much like the nasty LG.  The 2011 Samsung that I found relatively tolerable may have been somewhat of an anomaly.

>While in the store, I noticed that the LG had the more vivid colors and greater picture-quality than many of the other sets - perhaps whatever makes this set have such a quality picture also generates more radiation, I'm not sure.
