Sharp LC-46SB57UN LCD HDTV Review - Intro

The LC-46SB57UN is a mid-range LCD HDTV. Its performance results were a mixed bag, with an average contrast ratio, good color performance, and issues with blur and artifacting. The TV also features a 120Hz mode, but we didn't think it made a...

The Sharp LC-46SB57UN is a somewhat expensive 46-inch 1080p HDTV. It also doesn't have a whole lot ot back up the price. It did excel in some tests, such as color representation, but also failed to meet expectations in other tests, such as our motion...

Im satisfied to an extent with this LCD. read pros/cons

Lets start with the 120HZ, while its great for movies and HD channels, football and whatnot... the feature is actually horrible for fast input games. With the 120 Hz turned OFF performance is much better in Halo3 and other fast paced games. When the...

120HZ - Good for movies and other fast motion viewing (NOT GOOD FOR VIDEOGAMES) read cons ; Great color, darks, brightness, sharpness, and other features to reduce blurr and enhance contranst ; Many different connections ; Power saving

The 120HZ. tech. must be turned off to play certain games ; As the action looks blurr free, there is some lag to the input of games like halo. (read details) ; Problems with sound. (read details) ; The TV box says its an Aquos? Or is it a lie

Great value for price

Inexpensive model, bright picture, good built in speakers, nice features like pc input for streaming online hdtv

Picture could be crisper, not sure how to calibrate for better picture when connected to my dvd system, no screan saver option for gaming

Great TV Owned for Three Years

I bought this TV off Dell some time ago for $799 and I love it. I've never had an issue and it's a great value. The only thing I dislike is the thickness of the TV, but that comes with buying a LCD over LED.

Fixed audio output problem

Since these tv's do not have the greatest sound, I just bought and tried to hook-up a sound bar . . . . here's what I learned the hard way: audio/digital output does not work on any of the HDMI inputs, but will work just fine on the rest of them, so...

Good TV

Have it for almost 3 years now. Good tv, especially for the price. It's not AQUOS line, but still pretty good. One word of advise, if you're trying to set a cod for this tv on some universal remote, and none of the Sharp works, try LG codes. Worked for...
