Having tested side by side this model of samsung and the entry level sony I can say without a doubt the sony is better. I was disapointed for this to be the case because honestly, I wanted and expected the samsung to be better. The colors while bright and intense overall were not better than the sony. Every single movie i played in blu ray or standard dvd needed to have adjustments made to look normal. I would say about 75% of the movies I tried looked better on the samsung but 25% looked bad and unrealistic. The sony over all beats it hands down on all material. It may not be as sharp and vibrant, but over all it looks more natural and realistic and better for upscaled movies than the samsung. I spent many hours trying to calibrate this tv and just couldnt come up with any happy medium. While the black levels were deeper, the contrast was worse, ie, if it was dark on the samsung, it looks great, but when it was dark, it was over dark, and scenes in movies like the matrix or batman returns just looked unrealistic. I tried everything to correct this with the settings but no happy medium could be found. Go with the cheaper sony, and samsung, stop setting your tvs to look good in a bright showroom and spend some time getting them to look good in a dark bedroom where they will end up. oh did i mention the sound is really bad compared to the sony, especially when using the output from the tv to drive a small left and right speaker, the sound was a few milliseconds behind that of the tv speakers and you could hear a pronounced delay which was unacceptable. this does not occur on the sonys output. Now if you compare the same models in the 32 inch versions, the samsung is a much better tv

I bought this for the bedroom and wanted to keep it simple. Like most other reviewers - nice picture if you are not too far off vertical or horizontal. Internal speaker sound is poor. I tried using the headphone out jack into Boston Acoustic computer speakers and even with that setup it was difficult to get decent sound. Oddly, when you use the headphone out jack the tv senses it and then will not let you use the equalizer adjustment (it is grayed out). I think you can set the eq on the internal speakers and then plug into the headphone jack. I am trying to use a single remote and still have all of the tv functions including volume control. The L-R Audio Out and the optical out are fixed levels so you would have to use another remote to adjust volume.
The biggest downside for me is the inability to assign channel names or call letters. I use the C*cast cable system (without their box) so when Samsung autoprogram is performed all the stations are picked up as 4-1, 5-2, 89-3, etc. A few have call letters assigned but most do not. So it is unknown where CNN, TNT, etc are located until you manually select each channel, verify what you are seeing (CNN, TNT, etc) and then write them down. Samsung states in the User Manual "The names of digital broadcasting channels are automatically assigned and cannot be labeled." I don't know why they say this because it is just not true. Competing products do allow you to key in the names. My problem was that I could not find a 26" tv that I could key in the names and had a headphone out jack. The tv just needs to be thought out a little more.
Amazon shipping was outstanding.

BOUGHT THE SAMSUNG LN26B460 @ MY LOCAL BEST BUY , BROUGHT IT HOME AND OPENED IT AS IF I WERE AN 8 YEAR OLD ON CHRISTMAS DAY (I'M 45). HOOKED IT UP , TWEAKED IT AND HAD IT RUNNING IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES. FIRST THING I DID WAS TURNED ON MY SLIM PS3 , INSERT THE MOVIE "UP" FROM DISNEY BLUERAY AND AS SOON AS THE MOVIE STARTED I ALMOST CRIED! IT WAS IF I WAS LOOKING @ A FULL 1080P ON A PLASMA. THE PICTURE WAS CLEAR AND THE SOUND WAS AMAZING!! I HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO MY LOGITECH Z5500 VIA OPTICAL. DISH NETWORK HD LOOKS GOOD ALSO AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY FIRST SAN JOSE SHARKS GAME ON IT!! ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THAT I GOT THE BLACK BASE AND NOT THE SEE THRU ONE AS PICTURED ON BESTBUYS WEBSITE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I WILL BE WATCHING ALOT OF BLUERAYS ON THIS BABY!! IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A 26IN. HDTV THIS IS THE ONE , TRUST ME ON THIS.

After 18 months my older version of this television LN26A450C refused to power on. The red standby panel light glowed but turning on the television failed. This is caused by a defective 10-volt capacitor on the power board. A known and very common problem. Google 'Samsung LCD Capacitor' to find Youtube do-it-yourself videos and forum discussions on how to replace this capacitor yourself for less than $3.
