Sharp LC19D1E

G-Rating

Rating of 5

The basics

This 19-inch HD-ready LCD has an integrated Freeview digital tuner and measures 360x462x196mm. With brightness levels of 300cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1500:1, the Sharp LC19D1E also has one HDMI port, one SCART socket and one S-Video socket.

The good

If you’re going to plonk a telly at the foot of the bed, make sure you choose one that will look as good in the cold light of day as it does last thing at night. This 19-inch honey comes in gloss black, white or red, has a 768-pixel panel to serve up dollops of dishy detail and comes with an integrated Freeview tuner (and headphone socket) that makes it a great bedroom digital radio, too. The lone HDMI port is handy for Blu-ray movies or a spot of midnight gaming.

The bad

A meagre contrast ratio of 1500:1 means the LC-19D1E will give the best colours after the sun goes down, but then watching breakfast TV is a danger sign on a par with buying slippers for your loved one and insisting on your eggs soft-boiled because hard yolks ‘hurt your gums’.

The bottom line

Forget coffee and liqueurs, Sharp’s sultry Aquos is heading straight for the boudoir. Hotter and glitzier than a date with your choice of a Strictly Come Dancing professional.

I bought this one about 6 months ago from John Lewis. Got a free 5 year guarantee with it and free delivery all for a very reasonable £199. Very easy to setup. On screen menus are a bit small but once it's done you never have to touch it again. Works well with cable and it's also got freeview and more inputs than you can wave a stick at. Superb picture and superb value too.The best 19" tv you can buy. Recommend it.

and you find out the price of this how?? It's your 'best buy' section and the prices of things seem the hardest thing to find out.

After reading your comment i checked google for the price and found that the very top link had all the info and the price, the cheapest i saw was £169.80 which i think for an LCD t.v is very respectable having shopped before for LCD t.v's and found that the cheapest there was £350.99 I was quite shocked by the out-come of my search very reasonable. A very god find.

I am looking for a tv to put in my bedroom because the old one is quite frankly complete rubbish. This tv is definately appealing to me.
