Sharp LC-60LE745U

 

Earlier this year I lauded the Sharp LC-LE640U as potentially one of the most popular big-screen TVs of 2012. That opinion arose from its mix of good-enough picture quality and killer pricing. Now that I've reviewed its more expensive brother, the...

The Sharp LC-LE745U series delivers relatively accurate color and a matte screen that works well in bright rooms. The no-nonsense black metal design has a higher-end feel. Its feature set includes excellent help and support options, built-in Wi-Fi, and...

This Sharp performed worse overall than its less-expensive linemate, with lighter black levels and less even lighting across the screen, both especially obvious in dark scenes under home theater lighting. Itc picture controls didn't work properly. The...

Although priced well for a large 3D TV, the Sharp LC-LE745U series can't muster the 2D picture quality to earn our recommendation as a good value.

Sharp LC-60LE745U Review – 60-inch LED LCD HDTV

 

The 60-inch HDTV model comes with all the features offered by the devices launched by Sharp under the LCLE847U series. But it supports only 120 Hz refresh rate against the 240Hz subfield motion rate offered by the model launched under the LCLE847U...

The device is further designed with built in Wi-Fi, web browser and Smart Central TV integration. A user gets the options to browse through his favorite websites on the TV screen without using any networking wires and cables. Further, you can stay...

Sharp LC-60LE831U 60-inch Class LED LCD HDTV Reviewed

 

Sharp keeps releasing bigger and bigger televisions, including the 60-inch Sharp LC-60LE831U LED LCD HDTV. Big performance should accompany a big screen, right? Well, not exactly....

The LC-60 is one of the more affordable 60-inch LED HDTVs you can currently buy ; The LC-60 performance is surprisingly good, possessing rich, naturalcolors with solid black levels coupled with near uniform backlighting-something few edge lit LED...

The LC-60's build quality isn't exactly class leading and no doubt areason for its roughly $2,000 asking price. Thankfully, the LC-60'sbuild quality isn't reflected in its performance, which is otherwisevery good ; The LC-60 is not 3D compatible, which...

For a little over $2,000 retail, Sharp's 60-inch LED HDTV, the LC-60,is worthy of your consideration. While it doesn't necessarily "win" anyparticular category in terms of its performance, it's far from theworst. While it's clear to see where Sharp may...

Terrific Bargain 1080p LED but poor audio

 

Perfect dirt cheap 1080p LED 26" TV for smaller entertainment systems with a separate stereo system. Audio is so poor that it needs another stereo system. If it had half decent audio at this price it would have been five stars. Then again, if the audio...

26" 1080p LED for $229 ; Great picture quality ; Good number of input/output options ; Good controls/settings/options ; Did I say it was dirt cheap 1080p LED 26" for $229

Audio is horrible so use your stereo system for audio ; No analog audio output other than headphone jack ; Screen is too dark if the TV is above eye level. Not for high mountings

My First Flatscreen HDTV

 

In response to one review. I would imagine that a toy being launced at a Liquid Crystal Screen, would destroy it. I did alot of research before purchasing. I had made a decision to buy a Plasma because, research stated that the picture was more...

Incredible Picture, Easy to navigate and setup and Sharp can remotely access it to adjust picture, etc

Awesome TV, Horrible Durability

 

My husband and I hemmed and hawed for quite a while before we purchased this TV. It was our first flat-screen (and big screen) purchase, and we wanted to make sure we would be getting our money's worth. Out of the box, we were stupidly happy about the...
