Sharp Aquos LC-LE600 Series LED TV (32", 37", 40", 42", 46", 47", 50") (TVs)

Sharp's latest 32-inch LCD TV is an attempt to bring the latest flatscreen tech to the masses, but this bare bones approach won't suit everyone. Because aside from its use of LED backlighting - a genuinely new development in the marketplace at this low...

LED backlighting, convincing black, good contrast

Some blur, few picture options, only three HDMI

With average sound quality, average Freeview and a lack of exciting extra features, the 32LE600E may seem a lacklustre attempt. But the 32LE600E sees the debut of Full Screen Direct LED backlighting at this low price and it is a genuinely compelling...

Sharp's Aquos LC32LE600E is a full LED-backlit TV, which means that instead of the traditional fluorescent tubes, LEDs are spread across the back of the screen, which gives a more even and generally brighter display. It also reduces power consumption,...

The full-LED backlight makes this a bright TV with great colour, but it lacks many extra features, and Toshiba's larger 37RV635D is much better value.

LED backlighting is certainly a hot topic right now and this 32in LCD TV from Sharp makes full use of it.

The 32LE600E does enough to remind us of why LED lighting is such a hot property right now - and is certainly likely to stand out on the crowded shelves of your local electrical store on account of its fearsomely intense colours, high brightness and...

Sharp's attempt to make LED-backlit LCD TVs mainstream has paid off handsomely in the Aquos LC40LE600E. Despite feeling slightly under-specified in some areas, this surprisingly inexpensive TV really does deliver all the picture benefits of direct LED...

Pretty design ; LED-backlighting system produces stunning colours and black levels ; Automatic HDMI labelling ; Relatively affordable

Build quality is rather flimsy ; Only three HDMI sockets ; Occasional motion blur ; Average audio

Conclusion While some minor flaws prevent the Sharp Aquos LC40LE600E from being the truly classic set it might have been, it's still another compelling addition to the canon of LED-backlit TVs, especially given its ground-breaking price. Roll on...

The LC-40LE600E is a genuine original to the UK LCD TV market, offering direct LED lighting with white dimming for a good price.

The LC-40LE600E has just enough shortcomings, especially in the motion handling department, to fetch it up short of earning an unreserved TrustedReviews recommendation. But actually, we'd still urge you to at least seek one out to audition, for when...

If Sharp were a Premiership football team, I would place them in a similar mold to the likes of Everton or Aston Villa: capable of beating anyone on their day; always finishing in the top half of the table; but never quite breaking into the very...

Terrific picture; fantastic price; value for money

Lacking features; No video file playback; poor motion processing

If Sharp were a Premiership football team, I would place them in a similar mold to the likes of Everton or Aston Villa: capable of beating anyone on their day; always finishing in the top half of the table; but never quite breaking into the very...

What you get with the Sharp Aquos LC40LE600E is the very bare bones of an LED TV for an eye-catching price. The 40″ screen lends itself to any size of living room, or even as a second set for the bedroom and is light enough to mount on most walls....

A rather nice 32inch LCD HD Ready TV from Sharp. Considering what even a small flat panel of a few years ago used to weigh, this even with its stand is light. However when you remove it from its box without the stand fixed its very light.

Picture quality was fine with a good range of contrast and brightness available and plenty of colour style choices. Blacks are good and when viewed in a poorly lit room the edge of the image is not definable from the screen even when there are bars on...

It would perhaps have been nice to have seen 4 HDMI ports on a TV of this calibre, but for now the 3 on board inputs will have to do. A freeview tuner is built in, which makes this television ready to cope with the digital switchover and there is a...

Well, it has to be said that the 40LE600E isn't special to look at compared with our LG and Samsung contenders. Its bezel feels a bit plasticky and it sticks out a startlingly long way around the back. Though a sliver of what looks like metal along the...

Excellent black level response, good HD sharpness, great price

Connections not the fullest, motion blur, limited multimedia potential, average sound
