+ Great with HD material, good remote, good connectivity. Nice-looking piece of kit.

- Average sound, but not a problem since I use it with a 5.1 system. Blacks could be blacker.

David, Fleetwood

+ The picture quality is very good

- The sound is not as good as some. In the manual is says there is an Aquos sound system yhat can be connected via HDMI, but i can't find such a system, even on the Sharp website.

+ Very good pic quality. Very easy to set up. Nice modern design

- Poor sound quality through Sky box and not much better on digital, but was improved somewhat by a good quality scart lead.

Chris, Leeds , “High spec fanatic”

+ the picture quality - use the HDMI input from HD freesat (as an input example) for really stunning results. The freeview image (from the built in tuner) is pretty good too, but you need to sit maybe 2 metres away from the 46" wide screen in order to minimise digital artifacts (jagged edges and mild pixellisation)

- Sound quality lacks the bass punch of older type widescreen CRT televisions - I guess those big, deep, heavy box like televisions had a purpose!

Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing. HD Ready TVs must have • Minimum vertical resolution of 750 pixels (in widescreen format) • Ability to display 720p and 1080i formats • An HDMI or Digital Video Interface (DVI interface) Full HD is a higher standard. Full HD TVs have screen resolutions of 1080p and can output at least 24 frames per second. Full HD is becoming common, but you won’t see Full HD on normal TV channels for a long time, so it remains optional for many people.
Freeview or Freesat Tuner	Freeview
Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You need a dish to receive Freesat but not Freeview. For more information see the Freeview site or the Freesat site.
HDMI Interface	3
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of Scart Interfaces	2
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
Frequency (Hz)	100
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	2000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Screen Resolution (pixels)	1080p
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
Response Time in ms	4
Reflection Angle	176
Also known as the viewing angle, it’s a measure of how good the picture looks when you are not face on to the screen. Higher is better.

Brightness in Candela per square metre	450
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
