Sharp Aquos LC-LE600 Series LED TV (32", 37", 40", 42", 46", 47", 50")

LED backlighting, convincing black, good contrast

Some blur, few picture options, only three HDMI

With average sound quality, average Freeview and a lack of exciting extra features, the 32LE600E may seem a lacklustre attempt. But the 32LE600E sees the debut of Full Screen Direct LED backlighting at this low price and it is a genuinely compelling...

The full-LED backlight makes this a bright TV with great colour, but it lacks many extra features, and Toshiba's larger 37RV635D is much better value.

The 32LE600E does enough to remind us of why LED lighting is such a hot property right now - and is certainly likely to stand out on the crowded shelves of your local electrical store on account of its fearsomely intense colours, high brightness and...

Picture quality was fine with a good range of contrast and brightness available and plenty of colour style choices. Blacks are good and when viewed in a poorly lit room the edge of the image is not definable from the screen even when there are bars on...

Excellent black level response, good HD sharpness, great price

Connections not the fullest, motion blur, limited multimedia potential, average sound

Certain aspects of picture quality are outstanding

Suffers from a small amount of Motion Blur

Available on line for under £650 Sharp's LC40LE600E is an excellent budget introduction to the benefits of LED technology. If you prefer LCD to Plasma and you fast action is not of huge importance, this screen deserves serious consideration.
