Sharp LC-40CT2E television

The Sharp end of Freeview HD?

Blu-ray pictures, Freeview HD pictures, contrast

Find the LC-40CT2E for a decent price and it makes a lot of sense; some great Freeview HD pictures match contrast-heavy and generally filmic Blu-ray images. It's not all good - standard definition channels on Freeview are disappointing and so is both...

Sharp Aquos LC40CT2E review

The Sharp LC40CT2E is incredibly cheap for a 40in LCD TV from a big brand, and it's a cheaper than a lot of 32in models. But as always, a low price doesn't necessarily mean good value. The LC40CT2E may be cheap, but its budget roots show through in its...

The Sharp LC40CT is very cheap, but the poor image quality means that it's not worth buying.

Sharp Aquos LC-40CT2E

Sharp keeps mainstream with this well-priced, Freeview HD-ready, 40-inch LCD TV.

If we could judge the 40CT2E on its HD performance alone, it would probably have bagged an eight for pictures, and maybe even a TrustedReviews Recommended badge once its price had been taken into account.

Sharp Aquos CT2 (LC-40CT2E) review

The affordable Sharp Aquos LC-40CT2E has real appeal. Your standard-definition socks will not be blown off, but it's a good option for HD-only households on a budget

Very good HD pictures for a cheap TV ; Fairly priced ; Integrated Freeview HD tuner

Rough and ready standard-definition pictures ; Average audio ; Minor judder and resolution loss when displaying motion

Conclusion The Sharp Aquos LC-40CT2E's problems with standard-definition material let down what would otherwise have been a stellar entry-level TV. But, if your household is fast becoming HD-only, the LC-40CT2E has a great deal to offer, especially if...
