Sharp LC-42SB48UT

 

The Sharp LC-42SB48UT ($899.99 MSRP) is a 42-inch LCD at an average price designed to suit average needs. It would be suited to this role, too, if it weren't for a few very quirky aspects that make it stick out like a sore thumb. Editorial Note:This is...

The LC-42SB48UT ($899.99 MSRP) is something of a strange beast: it’s not quite a no-frills HDTV on the cheap, nor does it offer any exciting features like networking. But at this price, we expect a little more than a 42-inch screen, decent performance,...

Decent price

 

I read the reviews but hoped I could get past the sound problem since the price was great. Picture is good but this tv may be a good tv for a child's bedroom. Not for a family room or entertainment tv for guests. I have adjusted the sound many times....

Poor sound quality

 

Although being satisfied with the TV itself, the sound quality is poor. It has a hollow, "tinny", trebble sound - the worst I have ever had with any TV
