Sharp Aquos LE820 (LC-46LE820E) review

We like the Sharp Aquos LC-46LE820E. It's impressively styled and, once you've tweaked the picture settings to within an inch of their life, you can get a very good picture. Its media-playback functionality is a welcome bonus too. But this feature has...

Funky styling ; Slim and stylish remote control ; Good standard- and high-definition picture quality ; Lovely, clear sound

Shoddy picture presets will depress and demoralise you ; Expensive ; No Freeview HD tuner

For around £1,400, the LC-46LE820E isn't all that much of a bargain. If you like the sound of this TV, then we'd say it's a good buy, but you might want to wait a few months for the price to drop slightly

Sharp Aquos LC-46LE820E Quad-Pixel TV review

To remind us exactly who it was that invented the LCD way back in 1973, Sharp has given the dominant TV technology a radical new twist. Its latest X-Gen panels add a fourth sub pixel, yellow, to the traditional RGB display. With four colours to play...

The fourth colour means a smoother and more natural palette. Recording from the Freeview HD tuner onto the internal memory is a bonus. Excellent build quality

There’s a premium to pay for the new technology. Direct, rather than edge LED backlighting would have been preferable

Sharp LE820

Sharp unveiled their 2010 line-up on CES 2010 and one of the new things was the Quattron / Quad Pixel technology. Sharp has added yellow to the pixel structure which should mean better color reproduction according to Sharp. The LE820 is a step down...

Picture quality; Black levels; Shadow details; Response time and 100 Hz; Time Shift recording; Inputs facing to the side

Green/yellow push; Not perfect viewing angles; Reflections; No DLNA support for video; Standard picture settings

With LE820 Sharp has really put some thought into designing a TV and has ended up with a very complete TV. The glass frame feels nice, and the back of the frame reveals that all inputs are cleverly positioned. Also, the remote has gotten a facelift and...

Sharp Aquos LE820 (LC-46LE820E)

I have for a long time been a Plasma fan, mostly because the reresh rate required to prevent motion blurr on Sport and other fast moving productions. To that end LCD has not appealed or achieved no matter what the makers claimed so Pioneer and...

Refreshingly Clear and Bright Colour Palet

A little complex changing from an ATV (Sky) to a DTV (Freeview) channel

Sharp Aquos LE820 (LC-46LE820E)

Sound is good given the thinness (39mm thick). I would prefer a better bass rsponse but it is very acceptable.Even when it is off, the set looks very good. Picture set up is a personal preference but the number of adjustments that can be made with...

As the revew says the oob picture is badly set but over a few days I tweeked it and now it is rthe best picture I have seen on any TV. Sound is good given the thinness (39mm thick). Even when it is off, the set looks very good

Apart from having to set the picture properly, not much

Sharp LC52LE820X LED television

The Sharp LC52LE820X is a 52in, LED-backlit LCD television that uses Sharp's Quattron technology.

Excellent black levels and contrast levels

The extra yellow sub-pixel makes some colours look unnatural, reflective panel, no IPTV via Ethernet, no 3D support

The Sharp Quattron LC52LE820X is a great TV when it comes to contrast, black levels and displaying fine image detail, but its colour needs some tweaking. We're disappointed by its lack of extra features like 3D and IPTV, though.

Sharp LC-46LE820UN 46-Inch LCD Tv

(Editor's note: This review of the Sharp 820UN series is based on our hands-on testing and evaluation of the 52-inch 52LE820UN. According to the manufacturer, the image quality and features should be equivalent for each TV in this model line.)

Decent image quality ; Energy-efficient set ; Above-average audio ; Good documentation

Pricey for its screen size and feature set ; User interface feels cluttered ; Odd port placement

The Sharp Aquos 820UN Series offers good image quality, above-average audio, and energy efficiency, but its Internet and other features aren't the greatest, its design has serious shortcomings, and it is pricey for its screen-size class.

Sharp LC-52LE820UN 52-Inch LCD TV

Sharp has been touting its Quattron quad-pixel technology (which adds yellow pixels to the usual red/blue/green array), so we were eager to see how its image quality would fare in our juried tests of the Aquos LC-52LE820UN, a 52-inch, LED-backlit LCD...
