Sharp LC20D42U 20" LCD HDTV (Review)
| Average Customer Rating: 4.0 |

| Excellent blacks,color and lighting - basically a high quality set. It is hard to find a high quality 20". I bought a 20" Sharp from Costco 200.00 less but the picture quality was not good - it even had a DVD. This picture is that of a high priced HDTV. Pleased so far. If problems arise I will note them later. I own a very expensive HD set and know how a good set should look. This one is pleasing. I am putting it through the paces in this 30 day period - to make sure it is ok. It is on 15 hours a day in the kitchen. I purchased this TV three months ago because I wanted a small, portable TV with a good picture. I was willing to pay a premium for a Sharp product due to their excellent reputation in LCD panels (Aquos brand) and because I found the cabinet and specifications attractive vs. other similarly sized sets. About a month into ownership a pixel went dead in the middle of the screen which was very noticeable during bright scenes. But, I thought, that's the risk one takes with any LCD display. Moving on. Three weeks ago, the set suddenly stopped working entirely and the power LED indicator was blinking. I called Sharp and they directed me to an authorized service provider. The service provider said the main system board needed replaced. The set took two weeks to repair. I just got the TV back yesterday and it was working again. This evening, when I went to turn on the set, it did not not turn on - the power LED was, again, blinking. At this point, I am absolutely furious. I will not again buy a Sharp product. I also think, after having shopped a few other sets, that the premium Sharp commands for this size display is not warranted. You'd be better off buying a Samsung or Toshiba TV for hundreds of dollars less. -Michael I have purchased several flat panel TVs and the Sharp Aquos is the best without question.
