Any experience with one of these?

Hi!
As I just moved I seriously need a flatscreen TV. Now I find it very hard to judge the screenshots in the shops; one LCD can give a very good picture in one shop, but a dreadful in another. So I was wondering if any of you have any experience with one of the next models. I have selected them mostly because of their looks and I don't want plasma because of it's energy consumption.

> Samsung LE 26 R41 (66 cm - E 1100 or 82 cm - E 1600)
> Philips 32PF9976 (82 cm - E 1800)
> JVC LT 32 S60 (82 cm - E 1750)
> Sony KLV L32 M1 (82 cm - E 1850)
> Sharp LC 30HV4E (76 cm - E 1600)

So, any idea?

TIA!

I recommend the Hitachi 32LD7200. Its HDTV ready has DVI and HDMI inputs and the picture is awesome when fed with a test HDTV signal. The side speakers can be removed if using external speakers, and so has a picture frame appearance. Oh and it can remotely swivelled on its stand!
Its top of my list when I get some cash together.

Cheers

I'm planning to get the 26" Panasonic 500 seies which has an HDMI input and also comes in 32" size, I believe. It looks good in the shop, but is a new model, so not sure how many will have actual experience of it.

Thanks guys, I'll look at these models also.

There's also a new Philips model which I really like, both picture quality and looks, the 32PF9956 (82 cm - E 1800).

It's a tough call!!!
