I know Samsung picked up the winner in best 26" category, but when I visited a local independent retailer in Belfast for a look they had sold out. There was the Philips model above for £350 which the sales guy rated as a better TV.

The picture looked fine in the shop but as I was a bit rushed I didn't have time to give it a more thorough examination. I haven't found any reviews for it, I'm guessing it's a new model. Has anybody any practical knowledge of it, or be in a position to advice how it should fare based on Philips current model line-up.
Thanks.
