Customer Review: very pleased with lucky choice
When I decided to get an LCD TV, I shopped on line a bit and settled on this one, thinking the Sharp name would be enough to ensure a decent product. I am more than pleased with my decision. The picture on this TV, even with just rabbit ears, is outstanding. The sound is excellent, too, which is something I was worried about with a flat panel; however, I was pleasantly surprised. I chose this model because of the 1080 resolution and the cabinet style, which I think is the most attractive out there for TVs of this type. The base allows the panel to rotate about 110 degrees, which is very nice and not particularly common with these things. I bought the red one (it's really more burgundy, but that's hard to tell from the pictures), and am glad I got such a unique set; it matches my crib. The auto brightness feature is great, especially for a bedroom, where I use my TV. Setup was easy and virtually everything is pretty intuitive without having to read the manual. The cons are: cheesy remote with cheap feel and poor key layout (I bought a Sharp blu-ray at same time, and it came with much more functional remote with better feel); the fact that you have to toggle thru inputs on remote (see other reviews); on-screen display of menu items is too small, although it is neatly laid out. Although it offers stereo audio and subwoofer line-level outputs, I don't like the switching on these. I want to use the TV's speakers along with my stereo; I can do this, but I am not able to control output level to stereo (stereo volume) from TV as switching to variable line level output on TV turns off the TV speakers, which I need for realistic sound staging. I know they did this because they think this is what most people would want, but not I. Seems like a simple firmware matter to offer one more selection for audio output configuration. Overall, though, I'm highly pleased. For years I lived without a TV (by choice) and then with only rabbit ears. I've already tried the digital converter box (govt. cheese) on my old tube set and the reception was poor (unlike this TV, which is great with just rabbit ears). So I caved in and did what Big Brother hoped I would with the digital switch: bought a new tv and signed up for pay service, which I'm getting next month. Next year if I find I'm watching enough to justify it, I'll move this set to the kithcen/office and buy a bigger LCD for the bedroom, probably for less than what I paid for this one (about $860 from Amazon in early December 2008).

Widescreen refers to the width of the screen in contrast with its height. This is also known as the aspect ratio. A traditional TV may be rather square in shape, and that is because the width is similar (or almost) to the height. The aspect ratio of the traditional TV is 1:1.

A widescreen on the other hand, has a wider screen compared to its height. The ratio of a widescreen TV is 16:9, which makes the TV obviously rectangular in shape. Not only does the widescreen TV looks more modern, it is better for the view of the human eyes too. In fact, it is more natural for the human eyes to view. This improves a user's experience and transfers information more accurately to the user.

Many cinematic films are made for the widescreen TV, which is why if you view them on the traditional TV instead, you don't actually see the whole image, because the sides are 'cropped' off. You are bound to agree that it is easier and more enjoyable to watch on a widescreen instead of the traditional one.

If you buy a TV nowadays, it is likely to be widescreen. This of course, applies to all the plasmas and LCDs. You have a choice of an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9. You can watch with an aspect ratio of 16:9 even if the film is meant for 4:3, if you don't mind stretching the images.

The widescreen TV is more expensive than the traditional one because of its technology. The former offers a higher resolution on a slimmer platform. In fact, it is wider but slimmer. The result is improved viewing and an up-to-date look.

Such a TV is ideal to make your home-theater set-up and for more people to use, such as when located in a spacious room.
