Summary: Perfect for small area
Comment: I received my 20" Aquos yesterday. I was sceptical because I got such a great deal on it but was pleasantly surprised by the slim profile, modern look, and portability. I originally planned to put the unit on a reticulating bracked but I love the stand so much that I put it on a glass shelf instead. The picture is great but I would suggest using component video or s-video since the co-axial cable doesn't bring out the full potential of the LCD screen. The sound is slightly tinny but that's to be expected from such a small output. Overall, a great buy and I will definitely suggest this TV to anyone in the market for a smaller LCD display.

Summary: Great for the bedroom
Comment: If you are looking for something for the living room (i.e., as your main TV set), 20" just won't cut it. It's just too small for today's modern human eyes. For a typical living room, the minimum TV should be a 37" Panasonic plasma set. 42" is another good choice, although for most people 50" would be an overkill.

This Sharp 20" NTSC TV is perfect for the bedroom. It takes up very little space on the nightstand, and it sports sharp and high-contrast image quality, making watching TV pleasant rather than eye-straining. This model is not widescreen, but that's ok for me because at 20", widescreen would have made images too small for me. This model is also not HDTV, but rather EDTV (extended definition), which it means it fully supports progressive-scan DVD playback. Hook this up to a progressive scan DVD player -- I have the super-compact CyberHome model I got at Radio Shack for $45 -- and you'll get some great-looking DVD movies in your bedroom.

As a secondary TV for your bedroom or kitchen or study, this Sharp delivers great quality and great value.

Summary: Just bought one and am THRILLED!
Comment: I'm so thankful I didn't let the cryptic bad reviews of this product deter me from my instinct to purchase it. The picture is fabulous - the colors are incredible, the picture crisp. The sound is excellent. Plus all the other features (weight, portability etc) mentioned in other reviews. We have no problems with a noisy power box - and I was ready to hear something based on some previous comments. So perhaps Sharp has fixed that issue! We simply couldn't be more pleased - and the price can't be beat!

Comment: I have the same tv in a slightly different size. The picture has a dark shadow down the middle. It's terribly annoying.

 

Editorial Reviews:

The AQUOS LC-20B4U-S with built-in cable TV tuner is only 3" deep with an elegant design and features 480p (EDTV) compatibility for progressive DVD players. And with Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View LCD panel, a 500: 1 contrast ratio and 170?/170? viewing angles, it is truly a "TV where you want it, " for any room in the house!
