The price seems alright, but I'd shop around for some better deals. I converted the £399 price to CAD and it was $710. I found a Samsung at a Canadian store for $550, which is £310

this will sound like a stuped question but what is the major diffrence between 1080i and 1080p setting and is 720p the lowest setting?

I did some digging, and you'll have to take a few minutes to read about the 1080i/p - http://hometheater.about.com/od/tele...80ivs1080p.htm

As for resolution... I think the lowest is EDTV, which is 480p. Any lower than that is SDTV.

don't get a 480p TV :lol: unless all you plan on playing is the Wii, get at least 720p for the 360

Phffft, I wouldn't bother with 720p... 1080p all the way.

1080p is negligent this gen. Barely any game runs it native.

you'd be hard pressed to find a 1080p (or 1080i tv) at 26 inches. even harder at that price. during boxing day the place i worked offered the 32 inch v4000 (sony) for £319. slapped on my staff discount and i got it for £289. i could have gotten it for cheaper if i'd got it earlier, when that silly james bond move came out it was on offer for £299. which translates to about £269 for me. bargain of the century...

The only thing you will find at that size at 1080p is a monitor.

There's no point for 1080p at 26 inches though
