My new TV for the Mitchelaneous office of mass mitchlicious things should be here a little later today, did I do a good job? This is the first HDTV I’ve purchased, and well - I at least think I picked a winner. It is the Samsung 720p LN26A450 LCD TV. As you can see from the image above it is 26 inches (should fit right into the hole where it is replacing my older TV).
I did my best job trying to make sense of all the 720p, 1080p, 360f mumbo-jumbo and I think for the distance I’ll be sitting at having the 720p will work great (I’ll be sure to give you a follow up review too). I’m quickly becoming a bigger and bigger fan of NewEgg.com too, as that is where I ordered this, my current PC and my laptop now.
Grab a few more technical specs about this TV at NewEgg.com and let me know your thoughts!

Did I do good?
Now why go with HP? Well I have had two or three HP computers, and I have to say they might come loaded down with crap - but their customer support team has never let me down. With the last PC I bought from them, I had to return my monitor. I contacted them, told them the problem and they sent me another one with 2 or 3 day shipping. I sent my old one back in the box the new one came in and I was done with it. HP has won me over.
The new machine should be here either Thursday or Friday, so I’ll be sure to post some pics!
