Pros: Has 2 Component Inputs, 2 SVHS Inputs, HDMI Input, Built In ATSC & NTSC Tuners
Cons: No sound adjustment for bass or treble, Only 3 months labor warranty, Cheaply Built Remote
The Bottom Line: Great HDTV for the kids bedroom that won't break the bank or for a master bedroom. Definitely not a TV for your main viewing room.

| singleguy1974's Full Review: Sylvania 6626LCT 26 in. TV |
I recently picked up 1 of these Sylvania 26 Inch HDTV built in to replace a standard analog TV I had in my master bedroom. I was not looking for anything expensive since it is a TV only for my bedroom which I hardly use. But to my surprise, this TV was very affordable & offers a lot built into it for the low price.
I purchased this TV at Circuit City online for $549.00 about 2 weeks ago. Been using it since & have not found 1 thing bad about it all. It is 26 inches & has both the ATSC tuner built in for HDTV channels as well as a NTSC tuner for your standard analog TV channels. Most HDTV's at this price are only HDTV ready & do not come with ATSC tuners built into them. The picture quality is very good for a TV at this price if your not looking for a lot of bells & whistles. This TV is good for a master bedroom or kids room that won't break your bank. It offers 1 coaxial input, 2 component inputs, 2 SVHS inputs, 2 composite video inputs, 5 sets of audio inputs, & also a HDMI input as well. The outputs include 1 set of audio left & right outputs as well as 1 digital coaxial output. The TV has a contrast ratio of 1,000 to 1 which for this size TV set is excellent & a brightness of 550 cd! A 3D Y/C comb filter is built into it & it has an EDI which stands for Enhanced Digital Image Picture Engine. The speakers built into the TV provide 5W x 5W which is adequate for regular TV viewing, but not for movies if your looking for surround sound. The picture settings allow you to adjust the tint, color, contrast, sharpness, & brightness. It also has a power saving feature you can set on it to warm, cool, or neutral for saving energy. It can be mounted to a wall if you choose, but comes with the TV stand already attached to it. The best thing is that it ways less than 30 pounds so it is easier to handle. The instruction manual in clear & precise to understand. The remote control is kind of on the cheaply built side, but gets the job done. The TV has a built in V-Chip as well as a sleep timer which makes it a perfect TV for the bedroom. The built in ATSC & NTSC tuners both provide good signal quality unlike most tuners built into some HDTV's. The built in antenna strength meter for your TV signals helps when aligning your TV antenna to receive the best possible signal. The total wattage this unit uses is 140 watts of power.
Since I have been using this TV in my master bedroom for almost 3 weeks now I have nothing but kudos for it. Color quality is crisp & vivid & provides excellent clarity. I would highly recommend this HDTV LCD TV to anyone looking for a 2nd TV for their bedroom or kids room since it won't break your bank & give you excellent quality!
