5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Sharp LC22DV24U 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with Built In DVD Player (Electronics)

Purchased this Black Friday, so only have had a couple days. Will update if anything changes. This LCD-DVD is an excellent value. The picture is crisp. You don't need 1080p at this size, as 720 is just fine. The tuner is excellent - picking up all local stations where my toshiba 32" HDTV picks up two less. DVD works quickly and performs well. Controls are easy to use. Remote is better than most that are typically included with TVs. Very happy so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Home Gym and/or Guest Room, November 17, 2008

This review is from: Sharp LC22DV24U 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with Built In DVD Player (Electronics)

Pros : Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Good color

Cons : Image a little dark when viewed from above or below, Poor Sound, Limited Shadow Detail

Best Uses : Home Gym or secondary TV set.


I set this up in a home gym/guest room, for which it works perfectly.
The Peerless stand, although design-flawed somewhat, works great to get
the screen to a height that can be seen from the elliptical trainer and
then can be re-adjusted to accommodate guests. It is the only stand of
its type that I was able to find.

I think the color was good right out of the box. The movie "Gladiator"
looked deep, contrasty, and colorful just as it was intended to look,
although the blacks don't have quite enough levels. Sometimes it's a
little too dark in the shadows. But overall the colors are true and
vibrant.

It's nice that the TV automatically switches to the DVD player when you
insert a DVD. This TV has excellent side-to-side viewing angles, but not
so great when viewed from above or below, where it gets very dark. You
must have this TV placed at eye-level to see the picture.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I am happy with this set for my gym/guest
room, and you can purchase without worry. Just don't buy this as a
primary TV set. I used AMEX points to purchase for FREE!

4.0 out of 5 stars "A Great Little TV & DVD Player", November 24, 2008

This review is from: Sharp LC22DV24U 22-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with Built In DVD Player (Electronics)

Overall this TV and DVD player is awesome for a bedroom, kid's playroom, kitchen, or small space. The sound quality is excellent, especially for watching movies on the DVD player.

The picture is very good with the non-HDTV channels, while it is near perfect on the HD channels and watching movies on the DVD player, but you can tell it is 720p.

The 22-inch screen is just right for our bedroom. The TV was easy to setup and it makes a great secondary TV in the house. I have a dish so I do not use the remote that came with the TV, but I did notice that on the TV's remote there is no channel return button (???), which is strange. Of course it does have a lot of options for running the DVD player, which my dish's remote does not have.

Also, I have not really noticed much lag time between changing channels. However, when I turn on the TV there is about a 7 to 10 second warm up I guess, because the screen just stays black even though the light is green indicating that the TV is on.

Overall, Sharp has made a winning product base-line series. The price was right from Amazon.com, and all I can say is I am happy that I made this purchase.
