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.

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.

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.
