Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sharp's AQUOS LC-26GA5U Advanced Super View television makes LCD quality and flat-panel elegance better looking and more affordable than ever. The 26-inch widescreen set is picture-frame thin and its table stand detaches for efficient wall mounting (wall-mount brackets optional). With 1,366 x 768 native pixel resolution, the LC-26GA5U offers compatibility with high-definition video sources up to 720p. Two built-in speakers powered by 10 watts per channel render full-bodied stereo sound.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.

Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit ensures a lightning-quick response time of less than 16 ms for smooth-as-silk video and gaming graphics. The LC-26GA5U's Advanced Super View/black TFT (thin-film-transistor) screen offers exceptionally wide (170- by 170-degree) viewing angles and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 800:1 for super-black blacks.

Its high brightness (450 cd/m2) ensures wide dynamic range for vivid colors, great depth, and realism. You can place it anywhere--near windows, doors, or other light sources--and its picture will remain vivid. And, with its 60,000-hour lamp life, the backlight life is long enough to give you viewing pleasure for many years.

Connections consist of 2 high-definition component-video inputs, 1 DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface-Integrated) input for your PC, 1 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) input, 3 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, and 1 RF input (HDTV reception may require an antenna). An audio/video output (composite- and S-video with stereo analog audio) facilitates hookup with a surround receiver, DVR, VCR, or other destination.

DVI-I is a direct-digital DVI terminal capable of transmitting both analog and digital video data. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV or monitor. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

What's in the Box
LCD TV, remote control, remote batteries, a detachable table stand, an AC power cord (designed for 110 to 125V), a cable clamp, a cable tie, and a user's manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome TV with the Price Tag it carries, January 25, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC-26GA5U 26-Inch Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)
It is Awesome. I had it for a month now.. No problems.. Amazing extendibility. Connect to Game/DVD/PC (Yes with DVI doesn't say but it has). Amazing View angle.

I love Sharp Products. Not to mention amazing crystal clear sound. I even use this TV as audio system as my neighbours don't allow me to purchase Home theatre system. This one has Virtual Dolby too.

Don't get Cheapers ones. Get the best in Range.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Bedroom TV, September 10, 2005
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC-26GA5U 26-Inch Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)
This is a first class TV for the bedroom. Deceptively big screen, sharp picture, good sound and simple, but extensive controls. I looked at more expensive and higher rated LCD's, but this looked like the best value. It turned out that I was right. That doesn't happen very often!

4.0 out of 5 stars A really good buy., September 17, 2005
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC-26GA5U 26-Inch Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)
I bought this TV in January, so have had it for about 9 months. I looked at many models, and this seemed to be the best value. The sound is phenomenal, deep stereo which surprises you from just looking at the built-in speakers. I have enjoyed the sound in watching concert videos, such as Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Jefferson Airplane, the Who, James Taylor, etc. The controls are complicated and not well designed. There are too many buttons, and it is hard to find on the remote what you want it to do. The high-def picture is excellent. I have it hooked up to a Cablevision box. The best picture is for baseball and football games, PBS high-def, and the Tonight Show with Leno. For some reason, these shows stand out in their clear crisp picture and sound. The price of this TV has dropped considerably over the past few months, so it is an even better buy. Don't try to save a little money by buying a no-name brand. You will enjoy spending a little more for a quality picture and sound set.
