Vizio E28-­C1

Best 26" and 29" LCD and LED TVs 2014

Vizio E291i      Editor's Choice: Value
29-inch Smart LED-LCD TV

The E291i-A2 uses the Razor LED backlighting system to create a bright and clear 720p picture. It may not be full 1080p HD resolution, but it is going the be very hard to tell the difference on a 29 inch screen. The Razor LED design give it a super slim appearance with a metal frame and stand to boot.

LG 26LS3500      Editor's Choice: Price
26-inch LED-LCD TV

Optimize picture quality easily with on-screen reference points that help with black level, color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. Color presentation was not the best we have seen this year, nor is the picture depth exceptional, but it's a good solid picture quality which will show HD material very well.

Samsung UN29F4000      Editor's Choice: Quality
29-inch LED-LCD TV

The LED backlighting really makes the picture quality pop on the UN29F4000. Overall viewing quality is enhanced due to the light throughput although the picture is much dimmer than some of the larger top end LED TVs in Samsung's lineup.

TCL L26HDF12TA      Editor's Choice: Price
26-inch LED-LCD TV

This feature loaded 26-Inch LCD/LED HDTV has a lot going for it, especially the price. This LCD television offers ample HD connections, as well as high-definition picture quality with pretty good contrast and vibrancy.

Best 26" LCD and LED TVs 2012

Samsung UN26EH4000      Editor's Choice: Quality
26-inch LED-LCD TV

This 1080p 26" TV packs a powerful value punch. Viewing quality is enhanced by the strong LED backlights and light throughput that they afford. Areas of the screen where content sunlight hits a picture background or image will be striking as the clear coat screen makes the picture come alive.

Vizio E260MV      Editor's Choice: Price
LED-LCD TV 26", 1080p

This is another good choice. VIZIO's 26-inch class Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTV features Razor LED and 720p for brilliant color and contrast in a razor thin design. It also has some in-room light sensing technology to help with contrast.
