Summary: 'More to See' in Sharp's Aquos 26" LCD TV
Comment: We bought a similar Sharp Aquos LC-26DA5U 26" LCD TV a few weeks ago. Great picture quality, superb sound, stylish design. After a lot of research and numerous trips to stores, we narrowed our search down to Sony (picture), Samsung (price) and Sharp (middle ground). Sharp definitely gives you the best of both worlds - quality picture at a great price. One area for improvement - remote control design (reminds me of a laundry bat :-)). Thank you Amazon for the FREE standard shipping offer! Got the TV within a week of purchase.

Summary: Fantastic!!!
Comment: If you're considering an lcd, definately consider this one. I don't watch much tv at all. I bought this monitor to be used as a PC monitor for gaming. If you connect this set to a high end graphics card through DVI...Wow...Just wow! I spent months researching these televisions, and finally decided on this one. All that time waiting and researching paid off in spades. World of Warcraft has never looked better!!!

Summary: A really good buy.
Comment: I bought this TV in January, so have had it for about 9 months. I looked at many models, and this seemed to be the best value. The sound is phenomenal, deep stereo which surprises you from just looking at the built-in speakers. I have enjoyed the sound in watching concert videos, such as Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Jefferson Airplane, the Who, James Taylor, etc. The controls are complicated and not well designed. There are too many buttons, and it is hard to find on the remote what you want it to do. The high-def picture is excellent. I have it hooked up to a Cablevision box. The best picture is for baseball and football games, PBS high-def, and the Tonight Show with Leno. For some reason, these shows stand out in their clear crisp picture and sound. The price of this TV has dropped considerably over the past few months, so it is an even better buy. Don't try to save a little money by buying a no-name brand. You will enjoy spending a little more for a quality picture and sound set.

Summary: Nice Bedroom TV
Comment: This is a first class TV for the bedroom. Deceptively big screen, sharp picture, good sound and simple, but extensive controls. I looked at more expensive and higher rated LCD's, but this looked like the best value. It turned out that I was right. That doesn't happen very often!

Summary: Splendid Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD TV
Comment: I have a relative who owns this model and am quite impressed with the image quality, even though she doesn't have it hooked up to a cable television service. The reception is superb for most of the commercial stations in the New York City area, with some of the finest image quality I have seen from a television. I've also watched movies from a DVD player connected to this television, with absolutely impressive contrast and resolution. Yes, this is an expensive Flat-Panel LCD TV, but what you get is well worth the cost.
