Sharp HT-DV 50 H

Good floor-standing speakers, decent surround-sound approximation

Only 1080i video output, DVD upscaling is imperfect

For music, TV and movie audio the Sharp HT-DV50H is good for a stereo system. Its picture quality isn't as good as a dedicated DVD or Blu-ray player, but as an all-in-one system it would be a good accompaniment to a budget LCD television.

Sharp's system gets off to a good start in the looks and features departments, and follows it up with very good sound quality that exhibits only one or two minor flaws. But then it undoes all the hard work with the sort of poor picture quality you...

Rich, colourful images ; fine picture quality ; striking main speakers

Unbalanced sound ; thin treble

Very few apart from relatively cheap

Speakers are tacky and poor quality

Looks awesome, sound quality is great, Easy to install

Shame it doesn't use AQUOS link as I bought it to compliment my AQUOS tv. Sub is bigger than expected and is difficult to place in small room although sound quality is great
