Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sharp Aquos LC-20S4U 20-inch LCD TV delivers brilliant picture and outstanding audio with small footprint, perfect for the kitchen or your bedroom. It occupies a small space since the audio speakers are placed right below the LCD screen. Energy-efficient Aquos TVs also consume 60 percent less power than comparably-sized direct-view tube TVs.

This EDTV (Enhanced Definition TV) set is capable of displaying not only television signals in 480p (480-pixel progressive) but also from video sources such as progressive-scan DVD players. This offers a far better resolution and picture than playing a DVD through an interlaced video screen from a standard CRT set.

This set features a 640 x 480-pixel resolution, 4:3 standard broadcast television aspect ratio, 17-degree viewing angle, brightness rating of 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), and a 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. The superb LCD-panel technology reduces glare and provides bright and vivid pictures. This set also offers a multi-region color system (PAL, SECAM, NTSC).

The two integrated speakers produce 2.1 watts of power per channel (for 4.2 watts of total power), and it offers the following connection options:

• Composite AV In/Out: 2 in/1 out
• S-Video In/Out: 1 in/0 out
• Component video (YPbPr) In/Out: 2 in/0 out
• RF: 1 in

What's in the Box
LCD TV, detachable stand, remote control (with batteries), printed operating instructions

5.0 out of 5 stars great small lcd tv, August 14, 2005

This review is from: Sharp LC-20S4US 20-Inch LCD TV (Electronics)

This tv is perfect for a bedroom or study. Its small, lightweight, and has a great picture. I like the size with the speaker set below the screen. The tvs with the speakers on the sides only make the tv too wide, after all its just a 20 inch. Its not HD but we don't need HD. Plusses are picture quality, aquos reputation, and price. Picture quality for regular tv (not HD) compared very well to Sony's 19 inch lcd. However the best picture in my house is still my 24 inch Toshiba flat screen (but its big and heavy).

Excellent TV for the money. Great picture (it's an EDTV, not HD) but cable plugged directly into this TV produces a great picture anyway.

This review is from: Sharp LC-20S4US 20-Inch LCD TV (Electronics)

This TV, though built a few years ago(two),is an excellent set. It received a top in Consumers' Report and at that time was pricey. Amazon repriced it on the basis of the present competition, so the price was fair and considering the absence of shipping fees, it was a buy. It is easy to use and the picture is sharp and the color bright. After some fifty purchases from Amazon I commend them on their products and service.
