My New TV - Sharp Aquos LC26D43U 26" LCD HDTV


Isn't she beautiful? Major upgrade from my previous TV, which was a 10 year old RCA, and went to two Morgan Stanley Interns on Craigslist for $27.

Review:

I knew I wanted a Sharp Aquos - I think they have amazing picture quality, something you can't even attribute specs to. You just look at this thing and you know it's the best on the market - I honestly think they're better than Sony (and Sony price tag).

The "Key Features" of the TV are listed below. The main attraction was the amazing price tag - At LcdTvs.com - Free Shipping / No Sales Tax. Total: $689, down from $1,800 retail. Why is anyone buying electronics anywhere but the internet? They only sell brand new items, with full warranty. They shipped my TV next day, and I got it in two days, in perfect condition.

Key Features
  • 16:9 ASV LCD Panel from Sharp's state-of-the-art Kameyama factory producing 6000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 6ms response time.
  • True 16:9 wide-screen aspect ratio with 1366 x 768 HDTV resolution.
  • Wide Viewing Angles (176H x 176W) Sharp's AQUOS viewing angles are so wide, you can view the TV clearly from anywhere in the room.
  • Enhanced Color Filter uses finer points to achieve higher throughput, enabling deeper, more vivid colors and 150% higher contrast ratio.
  • High Brightness (450 cd/m2 ) AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions are very bright.You can put them virtually anywhere even near windows, doors or other light sources and the picture is still vivid.
  • Built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC Tuners provide access to DTV and analog TV channels

  2. You forgot to mention the six second refresh rate---which is the most important feature when it comes to watching sports and playing video games---two things I know you love.

  3. The six second refresh rate is extremely important when watching Planet Earth.
