Rating : - Excellent Bedroom Television We're using this TV in the bedroom, and are very happy with it.
There are less expensive LCD TVs in this size, but after the Aquos LC20D42U arrived I didn't regret paying the premium.
The horizontal and vertical viewing angles are excellent, with very little change in color or brightness at extreme angles. Picture quality is very good for both analog and digital tuners.
We've wall-mounted the TV - and while Sharp customer service told me that it doesn't officially recommend removing the table stand, it can be easily removed by taking out a few screws.
A few things that keep me from giving this product 5 stars: - The digital tuner is slow to change channels. This seems to be a consistent complaint among lots of digital tuners though, in both TVs and DVD recorders. - Some tasks, such as removing empty channels from the tuner memory, require too many steps to execute.
