Based upon the BeoVision 6-22 the BeoVision 6-26 widescreen LCD colour TV is a little larger than its predecessor although fitted with better-quality speakers. The larger version had additional tweeters. Visually, although the external socket set looked similar to that on the BeoVision 6-22 the internal electronics were all-new as the LCD monitor for this particular TV was sourced from Sharp of Japan rather than from Samsung of South Korea.
Both Beovision 6-22 and BeoVision 6-26 replaced the MX range of CRTs although the price differential between the two technologies was about double.
The Beo4 (third variant) remote control was supplied with this model.
BeoCenter 6-26, with its in-built CD and radio replaced the BeoVision 6-26 at the end of 2005.
