Dell 26" LCD TV now 764 Euro (inc VAT/Del.)

Seems like a pretty good price for a 26 inch wide-screen dual tuner LCD TV (price includes VAT and delivery).

Native resolution: WXGA (1280x768)
Contract: 500:1
Response rate is a little underwhelming at: 25ms, but should be fine for TV viewing..

But all-in-all, great value for money for a good quality piece of kit.. Perfect for a Media PC. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/lcd_w2600?c=ie&cs=iedhs1&l=en&s=dhs

Also, the 19" is at 463 euro (inc VAT/Del.).

Meh its ok but not great. No sign of a HDMI socket or HDCP compliance.

I'd rather spend €100 more and get a HD ready tv.

I would bet Dell are having a clear out before releasing a model with the aforementioned features on it. Probably with a better Panel with a faster refresh too.

Digital TV Capability: 480i,480p,576i,576p,720p,1080i
Has DVI-HDCP input (DVI-PC capable)
It's not leading-edge, but seems to represent very good value for money..

and yes, it does seem to be a clear out, as they already have introduced their HD TVs which feature DVB-T tuners, for a hell of a lot more money! (albeit larger screens).

Depends on what you're watching. Anything with a lot of movement in it will be difficult to watch.

The classic example if a football match, the ball will leave a distinct shadow trailing it around, even running players will look strange.

Yep it looks like a good price, but the refresh rate is a problem. Take a look around, and try get someting that is at most 16 ms refresh rate (try www.komplett.ie).
