I have a 20" Aquos and love everything about it, so when I needed a smaller set for the kitchen I bought this one. When I hooked it up I was very disappointed with the sound system. The sound must be turned nearly all the way up to reach normal levels and then the speakers sound "tinny". Not even as good as a 15 year old 13" Sony. Took it back and the retailer admitted it was the weak point of the system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, great overall TV, January 3, 2006

This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC-15B8US 15-Inch EDTV-Ready LCD Flat Panel TV (Electronics)

I tried two other flat screen tv's out prior to buying the Sharp, but returned both because either they stuck out from the wall too far, or the online reviews indicated future speaker problems. Sharp lcd's are rated well by Consumer's Reports, and I'm very happy with the picture and quality on this one. The only thing that I'm not thrilled with is that the specs called out that this was under 3" thick, but it is actually a little more than 3" thick. Overall, it's a high quality tv for a good price.

Picture, of course, is great, and the way the connections are hidden in the back under a cover panel is a very good feature. I have it in the bedroom and it is very loud. I have it on 30-40% of max.
