Sharp AQUOS LC40LE700UN 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV
I wanted LED for four reasons: light weight, low heat, low wattage, and great picture. The 40″ Sharp Aquos LED exceeded my expectation for all four. There is absolutely NO heat emitted from the unit. It weighs only 30 pounds. The picture is the BEST I’ve ever seen in a TV -I’m not kidding here- the BEST. I waited about 6 months to post this feedback, thinking something might go wrong but no problems at all.
My folks bought a 50″ Plasma at the same time and they’ve had a horrible time with heat coming from the TV; seems to heat the whole room (though that would be a nifty option on cold winter nights). Additionally their TV is extremely heavy and not easily moved. Their picture is nowhere near as good as mine.
I believe this TV is underpriced, and a very good deal. I ordered through Amazon, and the delivery & installation was extremely good.
Sharp AQUOS LC46LE700UN 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV
When I was looking for a 46 inch LCD-TV, I had narrowed my choices to Sony Bravia and Samsung LED models. I felt that they had the best picture when comparing them in the stores. I saw an ad in the local newspaper for an LED backlight Sharp that had the LED throughout the back instead of the outside frame like the Samsung. When I compared the pictures at the store, the Sharp seemed to have just as good a picture as the Samsung and Sony which were similarly priced at the local store. However, I checked Amazon and found the Sharp for $600 less than list and $400 less than the local store. It was a deal that I couldn’t pass up. I was somewhat concerned with the low price but I have had the HDTV for a few weeks and am very satisfied. I had read all of the reviews that I could find prior to buying but the model was fairly new and not many reviews had been written. When watching the HDTV at home, there are no other sets there to compare picture quality. But the picture is sharp, clear, and colors vivid. I am using an antenna and do not have cable or satellite.
Some of the negatives that others have commented on are slow channel changing, slow turn-on (however it’s in power saver mode), etc. But these are minor to me compared to the picture quality for the price. When I watch a movie on DVD or over the air, I use a surround sound system, so the average sound quality provided by the TV is not an issue and adequate for most programming.

got this about a week ago. the picture is amazing. very black blacks, extremely sharp color. paired with a sharp aquos blu-ray player, the aquos link system works very nicely. more than enough connections. menu/settings are pretty easy to access/understand. LED technology seems the way to go given the energy savings and life of the backlight, and sharp seems to have a winner here. interesting to me – if you upgrade to this from an old lcd hdtv, you’ll notice a huge difference in the heat coming from the tv.
the only downside are the speakers – they are clear enough but tiny and hollow. but this holds for every lcd tv on the market as far as i am concerned, so i can’t really hold this against sharp.
like the previous reviewer said, as long as it proves reliable sharp has produced a tv that gives the best sony, samsung, and other sets a run for their money – at a much lower price.
