Great TV for tight space

I bought this TV mainly to take full advantage of my recently purchased 1080p camcorder, and now I am obviously more addictive to TV shows than ever before. Thanks to the built-in QAM tuner, I realized that my household already have over 20 clear QAM HD channels comes free through my current cable. What a gift! I tried to connect a PC to this set using the 15-pin analog D-sub, and was always limited to 1600×1200 no matter how good the video card is, then I just realized that this could be Sharp’s problem. Some search on the web shows I may have to use HDMI connection to be able to use full 1920×1080 resolution. This was not clear on Sharp’s manual. My new cable is on the way now, hopefully it will perform as expected. I will update my review once my cable arrives. The only pitty is I should have throw in a little more money to buy a bigger one if I am not limitted by the in-wall cabinet Well this is not sharp’s fault for sure ************************************************ I just received my DVI->HDMI cable, and sure enough I can set resolution to 1920×1080 now! Amazing pictures!

Sharp Aquos LCD TVs are exceptionally good

I believe the entire line of Sharp Aquos LCD TVs offer the best bang for the buck [I also own a 37" and 52" Aquos]. Love the picture quality and the non-glare screen that eliminates reflections in my brightly lit family room. No other 32″ LCD TV could fit in my entertainment cabinet other than this Sharp TV with the ultra-thin bezel. The reduced weight is an added bonus. I still watch a lot of SD TV [HD is not available in my area] but I still get a fantastic picture using the S-video output from my digital cable box. Even analog cable produces an acceptable picture, but be sure you have a strong input signal. I have a cable signal level meter and found that too many splitters will cause problems unless you also have a good amplifier to compensate for the signal loss. HD DVD quality is amazing as are regular DVDs played through a good upconverting DVD player [I recommend Oppo or Toshiba]. I see no evidence of “banding” that some have complained about and love the ability to customize the picture for my viewing environment. It may not be the cheapest TV of this size, but you will not be disappointed with the quality.

Sharp AQUOS 32″ 1080p

I purchased this TV 3 months ago at a great price. I have a PS3 so I’ved used this TV’s 1080p capability by watching blu-rays. The picture and sound are crystal clear. This TV can also double as a computer monitor. I have pretty much used it daily (especially as a monitor) and have not had any problems. It’s 32 inch size and slim design can fit in most places. It’s not too heavy and can easily be moved around. It matches well with my PS3 because both have a glossy black and chrome finish. There are many visual modes to switch to depending on what you’re watching (movie, sports, game, PC). It also does not produce much heat (or use up to much energy).
