Amazon.com Product Description

Get a complete entertainment solution for your living room or bedroom with the 26-inch LC26DV20U LCD HDTV, which includes a side-loading slot DVD player. This powerful, all-in-one component offers a streamlined design that saves space and enables you to easily enjoy your favorite DVDs without the clutter of an additional unit. It also features Sharp's latest innovative LCD screen, as well as an integrated HDTV tuner, bottom-mounted speakers, included stand, and pure digital audio/video connectivity via an HDMI input.

It has a built-in ATSC tuner that pulls HD signals right from the airwaves (via an optional antenna), and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. This set features Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) LCD panel technology, which uses an enhanced color filter that permits more light throughput. The screen also offers a low-reflection coating to reduce the effect of sunlight and interior lighting to provide vivid large-screen pictures wherever you install your LCD television.

The LC26DV20U delivers a true 1366 x 768-pixel HDTV resolution (capable of displaying 1080i and 720p high-definition signals), and it also features a wide 170-degree viewing angle, 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating--perfect for viewing colorful details in even direct sunlight--12ms (millisecond) response time, and 800:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

It has two bottom-mounted stereo speakers that produce 10 watts of total audio power (5 watts per channel) and can provide SRS WOW virtual surround sound for an enveloping movie night experience. Other connection options include: <ul>

Composite AV (RCA): 2 in

S-Video: 1 in

Component Video: 1 in

HDMI: 1 in

RF: 1 in

PC: 1 analog RGB in </ul>

<b>Tech Talk</b>
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Perfect TV.......2007-04-11

The ordering, the shipping and the TV itself was a nice experience. I've had the TV for over a month now and it has been a nice experience.

Good buy for the money...........2007-03-13

I bought this TV about a month ago. Its really a very nice HDTV for the small price. No problems whatsoever till now.I play my Wii, watch movies and listen to music without any hassles. Yeah there is a delay between switching channels but you could live with that. I am using an HDMI cable without any problems. The built-in DVD player is really good too. And its definitely lightweight too.

TV/DVD combo makes perfect sense.......2007-03-08

IT'S SURPRISING how few combination TV and DVD players there are on the market because it makes perfect sense. I am so sick of extra cords and extra devices that when I saw the Sharp Aquos, I knew that this feature would be the deciding factor for me. And I was so right. Every time I turn the TV in a different direction, I am thankful that I don't also have to adjust another object and its cord. (Where the TV sits, it serves the desk or the bed, and I move it frequently.) The DVD Player is ridiculously unobtrusive, elegant and easy-to-use. The TV's control's are located on the top edge, not on the side or bottom as they usually are, and it is very practical and convenient to have them so accessible. Naturally, it is also very svelte and handsome in addition to being well-balanced and portable. Don't have a HD connection, but the picture is just fine for me without it. (I won't be having 30 of my close friends over to critique movies on a regular basis.) But if I want it, it's there. By the way, this flat panel Sharp Aquos TV was a replacement for a recently deceased monstrously heavy and unweildly set. I do so LOVE flat panel technology!

HDMI port unreliable.......2007-02-22

Maybe it's just the one I got, but my HDMI port seems to be very unreliable. Most of the time it will be working fine, but once in a while for no reason, the screen goes black and stays black for an extended period of time. If I switch back to using component cables, it works immediately, but the picture with component cables always looks noticeably worse. I have tried connecting it to my cable box with 2 different HDMI cables, and connecting it to two different computers with a DVI to HDMI cable.

The same thing happened each time, so I don't think it was the cable or the source of the HDMI input that had any problems.

So basically I'm stuck watching it with component video, which does not look very good.

Great Picture, Great Combo TV, Can't Channel Surf!.......2006-12-14

I love the picture this TV gives. Great deal for the money you pay. Unfortunately when you want to channel surf, it takes forever to change channels. I tried using the automatic channel programming mode, but it did not make channel surfing any faster. Overall I really like this TV for the fact that we mounted it on the wall and the dvd player is already connected. If you want a spacesaver at a good price this TV is definately worth it.
