Sharp C605H

Advantages: Being gamer oriented ensures high end performance, surround sound, easy to set up.
Disadvantages: Prices are likely to drop quickly after buying - as with all electronic products.

...From the original creator of LCD technology comes another first - a 32" HD-ready 1080p LCD TV. The Sharp Aquos LC-32X20E was purposefully designed with gamers in mind. In addition to ordinarily providing unparalleled picture quality the LC-32X20E may also be optimised for gaming at the touch of a button. It allows for HD-sharpness and a faster response time needed by many gamers. As well as a beautiful, elegant, slim-line design and with exceptional picture and sound quality, the LC-32X20E comes with the easily recognizable piano lacquer-black finish of Sharp's products. Most gamers who own a Play Station 3 or Xbox 360 often do not realise just how much of the processing power and high end graphics capabilities of their consoles are never being revealed.

Advantages: Design, Performance, Price.
Disadvantages: EPG Could be Better.

...Have now owned this model for over 6 months, my previous TV was also a Sharp that didn't let me down on picture quality but did have other issues. The X20 is a vast improvement on earlier models, it looks fabulous with its thin gloss black frame and partially hidden speakers, (don't be fooled by this as the sound is one of the best I've heard on an LCD and although there is no Virtual Dolby, the SRS feature does a great job of filling the room with sound), the bass is very good and the treble is clear with enough volume for most users. This TV is fully loaded with lots of inputs inc. 3 HDMI's 2 scarts, and component (my preferred method as I don't like up-scaling HDMI devices and do not own Blu-Ray yet), as Sharp has more LCD knowledge than most other companies and although this is not one of their flagship models, it does not...
