 Outstanding Quality Oct 17, 2007
By ED
"zebra01"
Excellent blacks,color and lighting - basically a high quality set. It is hard to find a high quality 20". I bought a 20" Sharp from Costco 200.00 less but the picture quality was not good - it even had a DVD. This picture is that of a high priced HDTV. Pleased so far. If problems arise I will note them later. I own a very expensive HD set and know how a good set should look. This one is pleasing. I am putting it through the paces in this 30 day period - to make sure it is ok. It is on 15 hours a day in the kitchen.

 Nice ... when it's working. Oct 03, 2007
By M. R. B.
"videcormeum"
Update: the issue I wrote about below was likely due to inconsistent A/C power at my previous apartment. Sharp deserves credit for attempting to right the problem even though it was not of their making. After moving, the TV performed without fail and still works well today.
____________________________
I purchased this TV three months ago because I wanted a small, portable TV with a good picture. I was willing to pay a premium for a Sharp product due to their excellent reputation in LCD panels (Aquos brand) and because I found the cabinet and specifications attractive vs. other similarly sized sets.
About a month into ownership a pixel went dead in the middle of the screen which was very noticeable during bright scenes. But, I thought, that's the risk one takes with any LCD display. Moving on. Three weeks ago, the set suddenly stopped working entirely and the power LED indicator was blinking. I called Sharp and they directed me to an authorized service provider. The service provider said the main system board needed replaced. The set took two weeks to repair. I just got the TV back yesterday and it was working again. This evening, when I went to turn on the set, it did not not turn on - the power LED was, again, blinking. At this point, I am absolutely furious. I will not again buy a Sharp product. I also think, after having shopped a few other sets, that the premium Sharp commands for this size display is not warranted. You'd be better off buying a Samsung or Toshiba TV for hundreds of dollars less.

Nice, Full-Featured TV Aug 20, 2007
By Steven Niedzielski
Pros
High Quality Images
(Good color, crisp detail, smooth motion)
Lots of inputs
Nice menu system
Attractive, convenient form factor
Cons
?
We use this as a combination Computer Monitor/TV as a part of a video editing suite.
Image quality is sufficient for editing work and the flexibility of inputs allows for multipurpose
use in connecting to many different devices.
It looks good, and has lots of handy features such as good cable management and it even
has a handle on the back to make it easy to move around.

Nice little set Nov 05, 2007
By Robert Shelton
This is a great little set for casual use. My wife and I use it as a kitchen TV. It's got wide viewing angles, good blacks, and, because it has a QAM tuner, we can pick up some high definition channels (generally the major network stations) through our local cable system without a cable box. The picture is particularly good on the high definition channels. The built-in speakers also have adequate volume, but are skimpy on the bass. It would be nice if someone made a small set like this with a CableCard so that all cable channels could be received without a cable box. As far as I know, no one does yet.

Only had this for a few days Dec 03, 2007
By J. Lonsdale
"Traveler"
Just got this TV and am really impressed with the great picture. Bought it for my study and it is just the right size for the small room. Would not want this for my primary TV.
There is a little more delay when you turn it on than my other TVs-but other than that it is great.
