A Sharp LCD at the cutting edge of technology.

Advantages: Slim, sexy(?), great picture, good sound, easy to setup, value
Disadvantages: None ..... yet

...A few months ago I was fortunate enough to receive a nice bonus from work. With a relatively new baby, an outdated wardrobe and many household repairs needed, you can imagine what a difficult job it was to assign these funds to a specific project or product. The Better Half desperately needed new clothes, the house needed a major decoration and the baby required everything! Obviously there was only one thing for it ? er ?buy a new TV! Well, to be fair, we had just bought some lovely new white furniture for the bedroom and then realised that the black portable TV didn't look good on it. The answer - in the interest of aestheticism, of course, was to purchase a new silver 17 inch Widescreen LCD television! Dogs gonads! Following some extensive research (basically dependent on price), we opted for the Sharp LC-17SH1E, a gorgeous...

Sharp's Practices

Advantages: Stylish furniture competently fitted into your bedroom
Disadvantages: Furniture is not of the highest quality.

...Picture it if you will ? it?s the room that was my daughter?s bedroom. She left home many years ago, but somehow there?s still a tennis racquet on top of the wardrobe, a stack of school exercise books in the bookcase and strange pieces of clothing (what can you do with a ra-ra skirt these days?) that are not actually needed where she?s living at the moment but are far too good to throw away, or so she tells me. It?s not too bad when you just close the door on the room, but when an unexpected guest turns up it?s a source of deep embarrassment. Well, you can hardly deny that you?ve got a spare room, can you? Then came the fateful day. I went into the local town and a Sharp?s Bedrooms showroom had opened. I?d like to say that it was the aesthetics of the window display that drew me inside, but it wasn?t. It was the banner which...

Sharp Aquos LCD TV. LC32P50e

Advantages: Good value, good number of connections,good picture, lighter than CRT. Good for gaming consoles.
Disadvantages: HD compatible only, No Digital TV tuner, Pedestal stand provided only, No Dolby Digital.

...lead.( recommended). This displays a better picture than my old sony TV which i thought was good. I managed to get an even better DVD image with sharper picture and better colours by using a component AV lead with my PS2 at 60hz, 580i scan. The component lead cost £17 and is a cheap alternative to buying a new DVD player. A HDMI DVD player will push this LCD to near HDTV picture quality but this will be downscaled to suit the screen resolution. Although it is not HD ready, it is compatible and this connection is needed if you plan to buy the latest xbox or PS3. Once you connect your DVD, Video, Game console the TV automatically recognises the signal and chooses which picture/sound setup you require. You can edit and save these for each input, avoiding the setup process the next time. The TV took a while to recognise the component...

Sharp for squirt

Advantages: Small and light
Disadvantages: Battery life could be longer

...I have a large 15 Gb (Gigabytes) of disk space on board my little computer. This has been pre-split (thanks to Sharp) into 2 virtual drives; C with 10 GB and D with 5 GB. At this moment, I have used 7 GB on my C drive and nothing on the D drive. I wish I have more but I guess that might be difficult to put into this little thing. Software takes up a good 5 GB and the rest are really just my photos which I should really backup on a CD. I use my notebook for writing and transferring photos so 15 GB is not a major issue, at this moment. 5. Display The size of the LCD screen is around 10 inches. According to them (Sharp), its 10.4 inches, I really can't imagine what or where the 0.4 comes from or goes to. The difference is only 1 cm, so my question is why couldn't they have made a screen that is either 10 or 11 instead of 10.4 inches...

  My sharps sharp!!

Advantages: the sd card
Disadvantages: blured pictures and battery doesn't last long

...My boyfriend bought me a sharpgx20 and I loved it to bits, unfortunately I left it on the floor one day and he managed to pick me up twirl me round and stand on the phone, whoops, a great big crack going across the screen, I tried using it for a while but I couldn't even read a message on the screen. My boyfriend bought me a nokia 3300 for my birthday which was perfect for ring tones but it didn't have a camera, so it wasn't long before I was back on e-bay to find a new sharp phone. After days of hunting and being out bid I finally got a sharp GX 30i for £75, I'd say it was around a year ago so not a bad price considering they are still about £200 to buy brand new. When it arrived I was impressed it looked brand new, still had the protective cover on the screen and no scratches what so ever. So off I went to test the camera. The...

Sharpe's Beginnings

Advantages: An excellent story, good characterisation, enjoyable book
Disadvantages: -

...It's 1799 and young soldier Richard Sharpe and his battalion are preparing for the siege of Seringapatam in India. It's the first time Sharpe will really taste battle as they attempt to topple the Tippoo of Mysore. When a senior officer is captured by the enemy Lieutenant Lawford requests that Sharpe accompany him in a mission within the City to rescue his uncle. For Sharpe this is the ideal way to escape the grasps of his tyrannical Sergeant Hakeswill. It turns out though that Sharpe's problems are just beginning and he has to make certain decisions to aid the British invasion. This is currently the first novel in Bernard Cornwell's series of books following the adventures of Richard Sharpe. Of course most people will be more familiar with the exploits of Sharpe on ITV starring Sean Bean. Until recently this had been my only...

Razor Sharp

Advantages: small, large screen, easy to use
Disadvantages: short battery life

...I was one of thos kids who grew up using nokias, so when I upgraded to a sharp gx10i a couple of years ago I was at first, understandably, I feel, a bit wary. However, the sharp phones are very easy to use, and the instruction manuals are extremely helpful. I loved my gx10, (especially seeing as it was my first flip-phone), so when I was offered a free upgrade to the gx15 I grudgingly accepted it. As I am on a vodafone contract I got the gx15 free after having the gx10i for a year. When I received it I instantly fell in love with it, it has all the wonderful aspects of the gx10i, and then improvements on top of it. The first delight of it is the size of the screen. The phone is relatively small, and the manafacturers decided that of the screen and the buttons, they would make the screen larger and the buttons smaller. This decision I...

Indecent Exposure - Tom Sharpe

Advantages: Hilarious
Disadvantages: Crude, Lots Of Bad Language

...Indecent Exposure by Tom Sharpe is the sort of Book that you will either love or hate. First Published back in 1973 as a follow up to his Novel "Riotous Assembly" two years earlier this is a Book that has been doing the rounds for many years. The Story is set in the Town of Piemburg in South Africa and centres around the farcical Character that is Kommandent van Heerden, who is the Town's Chief of Police who has an unhealthy facsination for the English and their way of life. Meanwhile the equally eccentric Lieutenant Verkramp is plotting to undermine the Kommandant and aspires to one day become the Kommandant himself. The Story is set against the backdrop of South Africa's White middle Class Society. Its Characters, poke fun at the deluded way of life that these Men lead. These people are Racist and Fascist and truly believe that...

Review of Indecent Exposure - Tom Sharpe

Super Sharp Shooter

Advantages: Has all the lastest extras that a phone needs
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay charged for to long

...I have just upgraded my old Nokia 3510i to the Sharp GX30i. It was quite hard to choose a new phone out of the thousands available. I tried reading reviews on ciao on every phone I could find, but this still did not help me on my quest. In the end I decided to go for the Sharp GX30i because I had already seen one and knew that I liked it. ***What does it look like*** Well its a silver flip phone that is just larger than the palm of my hand, when closed. The camera lens is at the top hidden discreetly in a black strip and it has a LCD screen on the front. with a small pertruding aerial. ***How easy is it to use*** The answer to this is yes, when you get a call simply flip it open and press the green button to answer and the red button to hang up. The 0-9 keys are nicely spaced out, so when your texting you shouldn't make too...

Sharp as an AQUOS

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. Using its HD-ready 1080p resolution, the 'game mode' of the LC-32X20E ensures...
