Product Description

With the introduction of the LC46LE700UN, Sharp combines its legendary AQUOS LCD panel technology with a newly developed, proprietary Full Array LED backlight system to create picture quality that is second to none. The LC46LE700UN illustrates Sharp's LCD technology leadership while also demonstrating its LED engineering advantages. Sharp's Ultra Brilliant LED system illuminates the TV to extremely high brightness and contrast levels and enables significant environmental benefits such as longer life expectancy, no heavy metals and lower power consumption. At the same time, the new XGen LCD Panel utilizes an ingeniously devised pixel design that permits more light to pass through even while minimizing light leakage, with the result being the deepest black levels that AQUOS has ever achieved. Overall, the LC46LE700UN shows that with Sharp, it's not just LED… it's AQUOS LED.

Currently this is one of the cheapest LED LCD tvs on the market.

Why is it so cheap? Sharp skipped out on a few features that that add a lot to the price without adding a lot to the quality.

1) No sub-dimming.
Many LED tvs support dimming some of the LEDs to get blacker blacks. While this sounds great in theory, the problem is currently the resolution of the LED array is much lower than of the LCD array. This means that the dimming can't perfectly match the image so you'll sometimes see edges glowing. I'm happier without this feature as the lighting is consistent.

2) Not 240hz.
The input is 60hz (at best) which can then be extrapolated into 120hz (which this tv does). Going up to 240hz makes it more likely that the interpolations will guess wrong and offers little benefit in terms of noticeable difference.

3) Not super thin.
Some LED tvs are ridiculously thin. While uber-thin tvs look nice hanging on a wall, it adds a lot to the price tag. It also means less space for inputs. This TV has a great form-factor and looks amazing. I doubt you'll ever notice how thin your TV is after buying it.

On the other hand, Sharp didn't skimp on the LED panel, using full-array backlighting. This gives more consistent brightness than perimeter LEDs.
My one small complaint is that it takes a bit longer to switch inputs and turn on than I'd like.

Overall, I highly recommend this tv. The picture quality is superb. When I went to a retail store to compare it to non-LED tvs I could see a world of difference. The contrast is amazing with deep blacks and the colour is very vivid. It even works great as a 1920x1080 monitor for my mac mini using a DVI to HDMI adapter.

* Update: I'm not sure how I never realized it before, but it actually takes about 10 seconds to turn on the TV from fully off. I don't mind too much, but if you will this is not the TV for you.

.... is the best word to describe this TV. After months of research, questions, comparing, and price shopping, I truly feel like I got the best bang for my buck with this TV. The picture is amazingly crisp and bright, the colors pop off the screen, and the blacks are very good for an LCD-LED. One of the main questions I had was the 120Hz vs. the 240Hz, and if that really made a big difference. After talking with countless reps and reading/watching reviews online it was pretty clear that even these "experts" were having a hard time noticing any major difference. If they did see a difference, it was minimal at best. To each their own though. Each of our brains process images differently, so some people might notice a difference. I could not see any major difference, so it was not worth paying the $400 more for the 240Hz.

For me, it came down to this TV vs. the Samsung UN46B7000. Here is why I decided to go with the Sharp......

* Comparing them side by side the picture/colors were better on the Sharp. Period.
* With the full backlit LEDs vs. the edge lighting on the Samsung, the Sharp's screen was brighter.
* Sure the Samsung is much slimmer coming in at just under an inch and a half, but you don't buy a TV to look at it from the side. I have mine mounted on the wall, and it only sticks out 4 inches. Really what you have to decide is what you prefer.... asthetics of the TV vs. picture quality.
* Read every review on the Samsung and the most common complaint about them is the sound. Because it's so thin, the speakers are crap, and the sound is horrible. If you are seriously looking at a Samsung, go into the store and have the rep turn off the surround sound and turn up the TV's speakers. You'll understand what I'm talking about.
* And the #1 reason??........it's cheaper. After all, it's all about the Benjamins.

I would highly recommend this TV to anyone who is looking to make the jump to an LCD-LED. Not only do you get amazing picture quality, but it's cheaper than most LCD-LED sets out there. 5 stars.

I've had this tv for a week now,and i cant say a bad thing about it.This is my third Sharp tv and i love this one.I had interest in the LG lh90 at the time of purchase.I compared this tv to the lg lh90,aswell as Samsungs led tv 6000 and 7000 and Panasonic plasmes.This tv held its own.Those tvs in my opinion had nothing better then Sharps led 700un,other then thiness in depth.Picture Quality,they had nothing superior then the Sharp.Save your money and get the Sharp...you'll be glad you did,and so will your electric bill.

This TV weighs half of what our 42 inch Phillips weighs and has the best picture of any of the flat screen TV's I've seen so far. It has lots of inputs for anything you care to plug into it. We have a Yamaha home theater Receiver, Core 2 Duo home theater PC , Up-scaling DVD player, and an HD DIRECTV DVR satellite box plugged into it and the picture is Fantastic. HD Theater and Sunrise Earth will take your breath away but there are some caveats to keep in mind:

1.) If you plug a computer into any large flat screen TV, make sure you are running Windows Vista or above as the operating system. Windows XP in any flavor is a waste of time. All we had to do to configure the resolution and get the picture setup was to plug it in and turn it on. Vista 64bit was actually plug and play.
2.) There is NO!!, I repeat NO!! flat screen TV with good sound, some are better than others but they are ALL subpar. Buying a flat screen TV and not plugging it into a home theater receiver is like buying a car but not buying tires for it. So stop taking off stars because it doesn't sound like your old big boxy tube TV, there's no big box, so no big box sound, get over it.
3.) We first considered the 1 or 2 inch thick LED backlit flat screens but they were only edge lit. The Sharp on the other hand, is completely LED backlit, it makes the TV a little thicker but the picture is way better, you also get far more inputs than the supper thin ones.

The only other comment is, we did not get it at Amazon, we got it at Costco because of their 2 year warranty.

I've waited a month so here it goes:

Overall,
Great tv. The quality of the image is outstanding. While I do note some cons, for me they are non issues. Comparing it to other lcds that I own, and many of my friends lcds, I am continually impressed with the quality of the picture. The only thing I have seen that has been as good and or better was a Sony XBR LED that cost three times the Sharp. Image quality is definetely better and more consistant than other edge lit led lcds, noticed this instantly on a friends 4000$ Samsung led lcd.

Pros,
Top notch picture. Full LED array. Great auto source recognition, no nead to ever maunally change picture modes. Easy picture tuning(not really nescessary). Easy firmware updates.

Cons,(although not for me)
Large highly reflective bezels. Fixed stand, no swivel. Built in speakers are useless. Thick, plain, not very stylish. Glossy screen does reflect lights in dark rooms. Aquos Net is limited and fairley useless.

Big Screen TV ? Samsung LN52A650 (around $2,000)

Experts are near unanimous in their praise of the 52-inch Samsung LN52A650. Many say that it produces one of the best pictures of any LCD TV. Blacks are impressive, shadow detail is good and colors are very accurate. The TV is packed with features, including 120Hz image processing that?s described as very good; an InfoLink feature that gathers news, weather, sports and other information from the Internet; and a distinctive Touch of Color (ToC) bezel that marries a red effect to the traditional black. The TV set?s shinier-than-normal LCD screen helps improve picture quality, but is more prone to reflections from room lighting. Picture quality is equally great, but some question whether the add-ons are worth the price premium.

Best 47 inch LCD ? LC 47LG60 (around $1,500)

Black levels that are lighter than the very best performers leave some reviewers lukewarm, but others heap nothing but praise on the distinctively styled LG 47LG60 HDTV. Nicknamed Scarlet by the maker, the bright red cabinet and piano-black bezel make a statement even when this 47-inch TV is turned off. But color also lies at the heart of what makes the 47LG60 so noteworthy ? as in accurate colors and near-perfect grayscale, either out of the box or after some tweaking. Speaking of tweaking, tons of video controls will keep fiddlers obsessed for hours. Outstanding signal processing for HD and SD material is another strong plus. Among other LCD TVs in the same class, the Samsung LN46A650 (around $1,515) has better black levels, but a more reflective screen that could be a problem in some well-lit rooms. The Sony KDL-46XBR6 (around $2,120) delivers strong picture quality with great black levels and a more matte screen, but some question whether the performance is worth its price premium.

The Good:

The Bad:

Best Value for 40 inch LCD TV ? Samsung LC40A550 (around $1,000)

Expert and user reports on Samsung?s Series 5 TVs, including the 40-inch LN40A550, are very positive. Many say these TVs strike an excellent balance between performance and value. Black levels are not quite as deep as those on the very best LCD TVs, but they are close and notably better than on less expensive options. If you have a little more to spend, Samsung?s step-up LN40A650 (around $1,230) offers slightly better picture quality and striking styling, plus some high-end extras such as 120Hz image processing. However, its more reflective screen doesn?t do as well in well-lit rooms.

The Good:

The Bad:

Best 32 inch LCD TV ? Samsung LN32A450 (around $650)

With good blacks and very good colors, the 32-inch Samsung LN32A450 is one of the better 32-inch LCD TVs currently available, according to reviews. This is a 720p set (instead of the higher 1080p), but experts say that resolution is appropriate for this screen size. The TV also does a nice job with standard-definition TV signals. Styling is sleek, thanks to its hidden speakers. If you have a little more to spend and a slightly bigger space, the set?s 37-inch brother, the Samsung LN37A450 (around $765) is equally well regarded. If you are on a somewhat tighter budget, the 32-inch AOC Envision L32W761 (around $550) doesn?t provide quite as impressive a picture, but is still a solid performer at a hard-to-beat price.
