Sharp 19" LCD - great telly for the bedroom

Advantages: Picture quality, ease of set-up and connectivity
Disadvantages: Sound quality average

Great telly - picture quality on uk freeview with indoor amplified aerial (20 quid job from Argos) is impressive - ideal bedroom telly because it's also very quiet. Impressive array of inputs on the back, HDMI, component, SCART and PC VGA. Only downsides are that sound lacks a bit of bass and ambient light adaptive brightness is much too trigger happy - but you can switch that off. Only took about a minute to find all available digital channels ...
...gives you signal strength and signal quality for each channel so you can wiggle your indoor antenna around to find the best position. (P.S. yes it is when you have it dangling out of the top drawer in your chest of drawers - but isn't that always the case!) Comet have it in stock and are willing to price-match with Richer Sounds so you can get it for 179 quid like me! ...

Sharp LC-32 TV

Advantages: Excellent allround TV quality in picture & sound
Disadvantages: None that I can say, which is impressive.

The Sharp LC-32 TV for my mind is up there in the top listings. Many years ago as a child at home we had a Sharp front loader video and this was in the early Eighties and lasted up until at least the early/mid Ninties, so when it comes to Sharp you know that you are going to get a product that lasts and lasts. Back to the TV, when I was first looking at buying an LCD TV the market had such a choice but the front runners were Samsung, Sony & Phillips. ...
...then I cam across the Sharp and after looking at what this had to offer in spec and in value there was no other choice in my mind as this is such an impressive TV given it is on for most of the day in my house. I have reduced the backlight which prolongs the scren life but does not dissinhance the picture quality in any way at all. All in all I would recomend this TV to anyone that was considering upgrading or changing their current one and would ...

Sharp TV

Advantages: Great Value Easy to set up
Disadvantages: Built In Freeview Slow to respond

...due to previously having a Sharp and the excellent value of it. Not disappointed at all! The specs were almost the same and the Sharp television is over £100 cheaper. Well worth it, picture quality is fantastic and is very easy to set up. The great thing about the set is the amount of inputs there are on the back of it. 3x HDMI, component, scart etc plenty of inputs for everything you will have. The only niggle i is that the built in Freeview is ...

Sharp LC-52 XD 1 E

Advantages: Great viewing experience
Disadvantages: Sound could be better

Great viewing experience, once you have got it set up correctly. After having read the manual, following installation, we adjusted the set to our liking and have not looked back. Admittedly, we purchased high quality accessories - hdmi cable, scart leads, etc., in order to get the best out of this TV. I don't see the point of buying a good quality TV only to skimp on cheap leads, etc. I have 2 quibbles (and both are minor): i) the sound quality could ...
...of the TV. It would have been nice to have the facility to connect our existing speakers to this TV, but failing this, we have ordered a home cinema system in the hope that this will improve the sound quality; ii) The on/off switch is on the top of the TV, which is ok if the TV is mounted on a stand. However, we chose to wall-mount ours and (at only 5' 1") I cannot reach and I either have to leave it on standby (which I don't like to do), switch ...

A bargain LCD tv that doesn't compromise on quality.

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, great value for money.
Disadvantages: Sound is tinny - needs a subwoofer, stereo or surround.

This television is excellent. I got it recently from Richer Sounds for the princely sum of £250, which seemed very reasonable for a television of this size and quality. It is simplicity itself to set up - just plug it in and it will set itself up - searching for channels automatically. One thing with budget LCD televisions is that they often comrpomise on connectors at the back of the set - this is definitely not the case here. It comes with TWO ...
...hi-fi or video camera), an RGB socket to connect to a computer and two HDMI sockets for an upscaled DVD player or Blu-Ray player. Everything you could ever need and quite future proof into the bargain. The only thing I can fault this television on is the sound quality. It is very tinny and lacks volume. However, if you have a stereo system, just plug in the phono sockets at the back of the set into your amplifier and the bass and sound is far better. ...
