March 2009. The 26-inch Sharp LC-26DV24U LCD TV-DVD combo is a good choice for a small living room or family room. The picture quality is first rate, though the non-tilting stand and limited vertical viewing angle can make finding a good spot for it tricky. The integrated progressive scan DVD player is a competent performer. Built-in sound is on the thin side, but you can easily hook up the LC-26DV24U to an external audio system for room filling volumes and full surround sound effects. If you'd like to scale up to a bigger screen TV-DVD combo, experts and owners highly praise the 32-inch LG 32LG40 (*est. $635).

User reviews are the best source of information about the 26-inch Sharp LC-26DV24U. Amazon.com has the most feedback, but BestBuy.com and ABT.com are not far behind.

3. BestBuy.com

The Sharp LC-26DV24U draws a dozen user reviews at last glance, but scores considerably lower here than at other user review sites. That average is brought down by a trio of reviewers who complain their TV-DVD combo stopped working after one or two years, however the Sharp LC-26DV24U had not been on the market that long when the reports were written.
