Reviews of the Sharp AQUOS LC-32D44U
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sharp LC-32D44U produces a relatively deep shade of black and fine shadow detail; exhibits decent screen uniformity; sleek design; nice selection of picture controls; zero-overscan aspect ratio mode available.
The Bad: Inaccurate primary colors; darker areas tend toward blue; spotty video processing with 1080i sources; subpar standard-definition processing; soft picture with PC sources; no easy-access front- or side-panel inputs.
The Bottom Line: While stylish and well featured for an entry-level HDTV, the 32-inch Sharp LC-32D44U's picture quality falls short of expectations.
