5.0 out of 5 stars Good TV set, April 29, 2006

By	Robert M. Matthews (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first LCD TV so you might take my opinions with a grain of salt. It has a very bright display with rich, saturated colors. I am very pleased with the picture quality, even though I don't have an HDTV setup. I have it in my bedroom so the size, while not huge, is appropriate for the room. I deliberatly chose the 4:3 aspect ratio because I am fond of watching old movie serials and old TV DVD's and it is perfect for that. Otherwise I might have gone for a widescreen. Should I ever be in the market for a larger screen TV, Sharp would be at the top of my list of considerations.
Edit: Now that some time has elapsed, I have found one thing about this TV which I find particularly annoying, and that is the Closed Captions. You cannot turn them off and keep them off. That is, when you select OFF for the closed captions it might stay off for a little while. Then if you change the channel the things are back on again making it necessary to go back to the menu and turn them off all over again. Except sometimes it still is off but the CC's are on anyway. I use the mute button because I don't want to hear commercials and I don't want to read on screen the dialogue either. But I can't get rid of the closed captions. I was watching some of the World Cup on a Spanish station and I muted the audio because I cannot speak Spanish, but here come the closed captions pasted right on the screen in Spanish!! I find this so annoying that I changed my mind about buying another Sharp TV set. I don't care how nice the picture is. My mother has a new Panasonic TV and never has problems with the closed captions.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest, March 27, 2006

By	T. Madore Jr. (Bristol, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had bought a 13" for my bedroom a few months back and knew that the Sharp Aquos is one of the best LCD around so I bought this 20" and the only thing that I was dissappointed about was the lack of video inputs, only 2 normal inputs. But otherwise great tv.

I did a fair amount of shopping and comparing. The price at Amazon and the performance of the Sharp TV are winning combinations. The TV met all expectations.

3.0 out of 5 stars bad
Quality of picture was much less than one would expect from that pricy TV. Also, it was not compatible with my PC, so, I am returning it.
