I've reviewed the 26H730s. This is a low cost TV with a decent picture, however, the TV does not compare to comparably sized Sharp or Samsung. Video quality is average rated at about a 6 on a scale of 10. Angled viewing is not great especially vertical angles. Backlight is bright and leaves blue/purple hues to many dark scenes. Audio is the big problem with this TV. Constant loud "Hiss" out of the speakers except when muted. Most notable at low volume levels like when watching at night. Very, Very annoying. Sounds like they used a very cheap audio component for this TV. Audio pops on turn on and off and the contstant background hiss will be found very annoying to most. I would rate the audio 2 out of 10. Case and looks are nice. Thin bezel and modern styling - would rate stying an 8 out of 10. Inputs - NO S VIDEO on this tv. If you plan on using s-video connection then you must buy another tv. Otherwise, I/O are fine with hdmi, component video, etc. Overall score for this tv would be a combined 4 out of 10. Not great but not too terrible excpet for audio. Price is good and if you are looking for a low end occasional use only HDTV then I guess it is O.K. but the audio is a big problem. You are much better of spending an extra $100 and getting a sharp or samsung both of which are rate much higher than this tv.
