SHARP LC-32SB220U Review: 32″ 720p LCD TV

Up for review: Sharp LC-32B220U. If you are looking for a cheaper LCD TV loaded with some of the latest features, then the all new Sharp LC-32SB220U is a great fit. With a price of around $499.99, the new LC-32SB220U from Sharp is the one of the best bargains in the 32” LCD TV range. The Advanced Super View panel of this 32″ HDTV ensures you get the best possible view. Also with 176 degree wider viewing angle, every seat is the best seat to watch and enjoy your favorite movies or sports.

The Sharp LC-32SB220U has a Built-in HDTV tuner to receive over-the-air high-definition broadcasts. However, to view high-definition cable or satellite programming, an optional set-top box is required. Full 1080p HD resolution is not available on the new Sharp LC-32SB220U, but with only a 32 inch screen size, you actually can’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. With 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, you can still get stunning clarity in images. This set has an additional enhanced color filter to offer higher throughput with deeper and more vivid colors.

Any flaws in the LC32SB220U are minor. Some reviews how poor sound quality. With only 2 built-in 10W stereo speakers, the quality could have been improved. The 60hz refresh rate may result in some blurry images, especially during fast moving sports evens or movies.

The Sharp LC-32SB220U is a great option for a secondary TV or for those who don’t log a lot of hours on their primary TV.
