I'd been looking for a flatscreen tv for the bedroom for a while. 26 inches is probably the biggest size set you can fit in a standard double bedroom, and this one fitted the bill. I'd looked at the Sony, Panasonic and Samsung 26 inch models, all very good with differing prices, £350 for the Samsung to £450 for the latest Sony and Panasonic models. But this one with similar spec has the additional benefit of a PVR built-in. To say its the best tv i've bought would be an understatement. No additional boxes or wires needed for dvd recorder etc, and its a simple 1 touch button operation from the start. I dont like reading user manuals, and i have never used one for this and we've been using since December. If JVC did a 37 or 42 inch with a PVR built in, I'd buy that one for my main living room too! Brilliant!!
