Great Product

By Jim Verified Purchaser from St. Petersburg, FL on 12/17/2007


Describe Yourself:

Professional

Pros:

Fast Setup, Good Resolution, Bright Image, Attractive Design, Good Connection Options

How long have you owned it:

A Month Or Less

Best Uses:

Home, Office

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This TV has a great picture and a very attractive design. It's perfect for an office or room where a big unit would not fit. It is loaded with all the ports you will need and has both a QAM and ATSC tuner so you can get digital broadcasts over the air or from the cable company. The only feature that it does not have is cable card capability. So if you want to watch premium stations (HBO) that are scrambled and not use an external box, it is not for you. Of course with the cable company box it can receive any channel using either the component or HDMI ports. Most functional small (<26") TV I have seen.

Description

Elegance And Functionality Combined
The elegant 20-inch AQUOS LC20D42U sets the standard for high performance combined with high style. It has the next generation of Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel, providing high brightness (450 cd/m2), 1200:1 native (6000:1 dynamic) contrast ratio, 6 ms Quick Shoot response time, and wide viewing angles (176-degrees horizontal and vertical). There's a built-in NTSC/ATSC tuner for receiving over-the-air standard and HD signals, as well as unencrypted standard cable signals. This model features a sleek piano black cabinet and includes a table stand that easily removes for optional wall mounting applications (wall mount not included). Dual HDMI inputs and one HD component video input complement the LC20D42U.
20" Of Vivid Versatility
The uniquely sculpted style and contemporary design of Sharp's AQUOS televisions are evident in the LC20D42U as are extremely vivid and engaging images from the Active Matrix Advanced Super View screen. You will surely appreciate the impressive Wide XGA native resolution (1366 x 768 pixels) and high native contrast ratio (1200:1) that produce incredible image quality. Image quality this good means the LC20D42U is capable of excellent high definition performance (720p HDTV compatibility). This is more than a TV. It can be part of the family as it will easily enhance the decor of any family room, living room, or den.
Judging The Panel
Beyond setting the standards for performance and style, the LC20D42U television offers other distinct advantages like impressive 60,000 hour lamp longevity with no worry of burn-in, which is when a still image becomes a permanent part of a screen after a period of time. The exceptional brightness of the Active Matrix Advanced Super View LCD panel means images are exceptionally vivid, even when you place your AQUOS TV in a bright room or near windows. The high contrast ratio allows superb detail and color purity even during very dark or very bright scenes. Sharp's exclusive Black TFT low-reflection coating significantly reduces glare even in very harsh lighting conditions.
Exceptional Efficiency And Extremely Wide View
Designed to fit in any room and complement any decor, the AQUOS LC20D42U television is a mix of elegance and function. The remarkable technology and engineering of the Active Matrix Advanced Super View LCD screen gives it an extremely wide 176-degree horizontal by 176-degree vertical viewing angle so everyone in the room has an excellent view of the screen. Sharp has also seamlessly integrated two 5-watt speakers into the elegant design, for audio performance suitable for such a screen as this. If you would prefer to display your AQUOS LCD television on the wall, there are optional wall mounts available (sold separately). Wherever you choose to use your AQUOS TV, you will surely appreciate the exceptional efficiency provided by its low power consumption and 60,000 hour lamp life.
Ever Wonder What It Takes To Make These Things?
The Sharp Liquid Crystal Television plant in Kameyama, Japan, represents the ultimate example of economic efficiency, social mindedness, and environmental conservation. Combining Sharp's vast experience and knowledge in R & D and mass production, including 50 years of TV and 30 years of LCD production, the Sharp Kameyama plant is a world-class facility for the manufacture and assembly of LCD panels. Continuing its leadership, Sharp opened a second plant at Kameyama in October, 2006. This is the world's first facility to adopt 8th generation glass substrates, which are roughly twice as large as the substrates used in the number one plant. Plant number two is specially designed for the production of glass for LC-TV screen sizes in the 40-inch through 50-inch range and will provide a steady supply of medium to large panels to respond to the growing worldwide demand for digital and high definition compatible flat panel televisions.
