With an image resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, displaying in a 16:9 aspect ratio, the LC20AD5E from Sharp Electronics UK is a small, wall-mountable, HD Ready digital LCD television that will deliver a high quality viewing experience at the economy shopper echelon. Surprisingly, this model sports a relatively wide viewing area of 176-degrees. This 20-inch display is fairly standard for a small IDTV, though as you’ll see it leaves something to be desired when it comes to sound.

Let’s look at connectivity first, though. Again, because this digital television is small and designed for economy, it’s not out to win awards for innovative use of space connection space. This model carries only what it needs to get the intended job done, and in this case that isn’t a whole lot. The LC20AD5E comes with two SCART ports, one HDMI port, standard AV inputs, a component video connection, a PC AV port, and a Common Interface slot. This is certainly enough to get the job done, just don’t expect this to be a universally employable tech solution. Of course, at 20-inches it’s probably not your primary television to begin with.

The panel is given a 60,000 hour lifespan which is somewhere around the industry norm. There are digital televisions with incrementally shorter life expectancies. What does sixty thousand hours of operation translate to in more tangible terms? Well, precisely 2500 days, 6.84 years, 82 months, or 328 weeks — take your pick. The bottom line is that you are safe to assume that any digital television you buy today will still be in fine working order by the time a new technology puts you back in the market for another one, so long as you don’t abuse it or find that it has a defect of some sort.

Now, about the sound package that comes with the LC20AD5E, you shouldn’t expect to be blown away by a 20-inch television and this model is a good example of why. Included are two, 2-watt speakers and matching audio outputs. If you have a high-end optical connection for a really high-end surround sound system, don’t expect to use it with this model. While it does support surround sound, the required connectivity just isn’t there for optical. Sharp did include with this model dual NICAM and A2 audio format compatibility, but these days that’s not going to set it apart from the competition.

A matching viewing angle of 176-degrees is about the only feature that the Sharp LC32AD5E shares in common with its 20-inch little brother, and that’s a good thing for sure. At 32-inches this 16:9, HD Ready display can deliver a crisp and stunning image at a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Connectivity and audio are both improved over the smaller member of the AD5E family from Sharp Electronics UK.

If you’ve got devices aplenty you’ll be happy to see that there are more options available for interconnectivity with the LC32 than with smaller models in the AD5E line. This model carries two SCART ports, two HDMI ports, standard AV inputs, a PC AV connection, and a Common Interface slot. S-Video would be nice, but as with most decade-old technologies, it may not be around long enough to matter.

The panel is given a 60,000 hour lifespan which is somewhere around the industry norm. There are digital televisions with incrementally shorter life expectancies. What does sixty thousand hours of operation translate to in more tangible terms? Well, precisely 2500 days, 6.84 years, 82 months, or 328 weeks — whichever best sums it up for you. The bottom line is that you are safe to assume that any digital television you buy today will still be in fine working order by the time a new technology puts you back in the market for another one, so long as you don’t abuse it or find that it has a defect of some sort.

For sound we see another marked improvement over the 20-inch, where the LC32AD5E shows perhaps the greatest improvement overall. Up from two 2-watt speakers and outputs, this model boasts two 10-watt speakers and matching output. That’s a five hundred percent increase in audio output power! Still, there is no optical output for digital surround sound systems, but where Sharp makes up for leaving this out is in their inclusion of Freeview broadcast compatibility. Free content often trumps the lack of features with consumer products, and the LC32AD5E from Sharp Electrnics UK is no exception.

The X20 line is one of two produced by Sharp UK that caters specifically to those who are looking for a 1080p Full HD experience. While the LC32X20E is the smallest of this line, at 32-inches, it will not let you down. This model displays a 16:9 aspect ratio image at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels so you can expect an immensely sharp image, and you can see it from a moderately wide 176-degrees. But Sharp keeps the ball rolling with more features!

The sound package that’s included with the LC32X20E boasts 30-watts of power, divided into two channels at 15-watts each. Considering that some smaller Sharp digital LCD television models have puny 2-watt speakers, it’s clear that the X20 line was meant to be a cut above. SRS TruSurround XT surround sound processing gives maniacal surround sound output, and even a three-dimensional stereo or mono experience. You can even put your uber-expensive surround sound home theatre system to good use because this model carries a digital optical output for just such purposes.

If you truly want to be blown away though, just look at how many connectivity options Sharp has included with the LC32X20E. There are three HDMI ports, two SCART ports, a composite video in, a mini S-Video in, a component AV input, a 15-pin PC AV connection, and even an RS232C connection. Honestly, if this model can’t meet your device connectivity needs, you might want to invest in a television studio.

Plus, you can view it from a relatively large 176-degree viewing angle.

The XL1 family is one of three lines produced by Sharp UK that caters specifically to those who are looking for a 1080p Full HD experience. The LC-46XL1E is the mid-sized model for this line, and at 46-inches it will blow you away! Displaying a 16:9 aspect ratio image at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, you can expect an immensely sharp image from this digital LCD television. Plus, you can view it from a relatively large 176-degree viewing angle. But Sharp keeps the ball rolling with more features, including Freeview compatibility and Picture in Picture operability!

The sound package that comes along with the LC-46XL1E is your typical XL1 lot, boasting 30-watts of power, divided into two channels at 15-watts each. Considering that some smaller Sharp digital LCD television models have puny 2-watt speakers, it’s clear that the XL1 line was meant to be a cut above. SRS TruSurround XT surround sound processing gives maniacal surround sound output, and even a three-dimensional stereo or mono experience. You can even put your super-expensive home theatre system to good use because this model carries a digital optical output for just such purposes. Headphone connectivity provides convenient privacy.

Sharp has included with the LC-46XL1E one HDMI port, two SCART ports, and a 15-pin PC AV connection. This is not exactly a robust set of interconnectivity options, but it should serve its purpose just fine. This line of Sharp UK digital LCD televisions has already been surpassed by the XL2 series, so you may want to look at those new models first.

A life expectancy is not given for this model specifically, however the website of a competing manufacturer denotes that modern standards put the lifespan of most models in both the plasma and LCD categories at around 60,000 hours. That comes to just about 360 weeks of continuous use, but that kind of wear is unlikely. If you watch television for four hours per day, seven days a week, a modern digital television set like the LC-46XL1E should last for roughly 40 years according to my calculations! There will most definitely be new broadcast and display technologies available for mass consumption before these things stop working, barring some kind of defect and assuming that Panasonic’s estimates are correct.

If you want a high quality, mid-sized, Full HD, digital LCD television, the LC-46XL1E from Sharp Electronics UK is a qualified competitor for your money but there may be newer options that are better suited to fulfill your needs.
