Sharp LC-46E77U LCD HDTV First Impressions Review - Intro

The LC-46E77U is the 46-inch option in Sharp's E series of LCD TVs. It's available for $2,400 and will be available in February. This TV seems to be a great option in the line, with the same features as the 65-inch model, but at about half the price....

The LC-46E77U is a nice looking TV, both aesthetically and in terms of its video quality. It certainly seems to represent a better value than the $4,500 65-inch version, although if you want the largest screen size it may be worth it to you. The...

Sharp AQUOS LC-46E77U LCD HDTV Reviewed

The midrange, 46-inch LC-46E77U from Sharp has Fine Motion Enhanced 120Hz technology and a 4-millisecond response time, but it lacks LED backlighting, AQUOS Net, and other features found in Sharp's step-up lines...

This Sharp TV has a 1080p resolution and will accept 24p sources via its generous five HDMI inputs. The two component video inputs also accept 1080p/60

The LC-46E77U doesn't have a USB port or SD card slot that supports digital media playback, nor does it include Sharp's AQUOS Net Web platform ; This LCD uses a traditional fluorescent backlight, so its black level is not as good as that of a...

The LC-46E77U is a bit lacking in the features department - no Web connectivity or digital media ports - but it is otherwise a good value for a 120Hz 1080p LCD. The five HDMI inputs make it an especially good choice for someone who owns a lot of...
