| I bought this for $200 at BB to put in my kitchen, after living with 2 other LCD TV's I'm sorry to say my newest TV is my poorest one. I have the Samsung 22" 650 model and must say that's a GREAT TV. The colors on the Sharp are washed out at times, face tone is what I notice the most. For the money I'm going to keep it so understand it's livable just not the best. Also remember I paid $399 for the Sammy so it all comes out in the wash. The egg timer works and perfect in the Kitchen, it has a magnet so you can stick it on the fridge! I'm starting to see the LED back lighted LCD TV's, BOY do they look great!!!, keep looking if you can wait because the LED models are brighter and sharper in every way, this TV is on the dark side, much darker then my Samsung. |
good picture, bad speakers, not worth the kitchen timer

This is a very good small TV. HD looks crisp, sd cable looks about as good as you can hope for. My only problem is that this TV is identical to the LC19sb25u. The only difference is that this one comes with a different stand that has a spot to rest the kitchen timer/clock with simple remote functions. It is a very good timer, and we do find it convenient to have the buttons on the front instead of side, but you can save $30 to $55 if you get the one without.
Edit:[As far as the speakers(a main complaint on the LC19sb25u customer reviews); I did not notice it at first because the problems seem to depend on what is on and the channel, but they are a problem. Sometimes the volume is too low no matter how high you have it. Other times it is loud and distorted. The volume scale has very little change from about 20 to 60(max). My biggest complaint is the bass. It is not there. It is shameful watching something in HD without at least decent sound. Realizing this now I would rate this a three overall(good picture, bad speakers). If you are hooking this up to a sound system then it shouldn't matter to you. But if you are just trying to extend your HD to a small place that a sound system is impractical, such as a kitchen, you need to look elsewhere.]
On a side note, this TV (and no doubt other TVs that can decode QAM signals) was able to get all the regular analog cable channels AND the local HD channels that our cable provider offers over the same cable. I would definitely suggest having the TV automatically find all digital and analog channels, you never know what you might get. This saved us from using an A/B switch with a OTA antenna to get some HD use out of the TV. |
