 Great HDTV! August 25, 2010
Gabriel Salazar
It's backligth LED system makes possible an ultra bright sharp image.
With low definition signal the performance is very good, but with High Definition signal it has a stunning and outstanding performance.
Its only flaw it's the volume level, which sometimes is a little low, depending of the source.
In general terms it's a Great HDTV, perfect for a small or medium-size rooom.
Excellent image quality August 22, 2010

Skip to the bottom for pros and cons.
Background:
I will be using this Sharp LC-32LE700UN exclusively as a computer monitor. My review may not be useful for some people since I do not intend to watch very much TV and videos with this LCD TV. I bought this model due to finding out Sharp manufacturer their own IPS-panel (though they call their version ASV or Advanced Super View). Also because this model have 'full-array LED backlight'. Unlike more expensive and larger Sharp monitors, this 32" do not have local dimming. I will not bother with the 120hz spec because they achieve that through dithering. These 120hz LCD, as of writing, do not actually input 120hz signal.
Aesthetic/external impressions:
The TV is quite light for its size. The plastic framework is glossy black, but in term of build quality it's pretty standard. The stand is very sturdy, unfortunately can't swivel. Unlike some other LCD TV, the screen surface is soft like computer monitors, it doesn't have a thick protection, so don't get mad and punch or throw things at it. Overall, Sharp skim on the bodywork of the TV, so if your purpose is to impress friends and neighbors, this TV isn't it. It don't look half bad, but definitely not like a high end Sony Bravia.
Positive points:
-Image quality: Amazing image quality and details for this price range. This quality is worthy to be in a TV twice the cost. Very colorful and smooth. The screen is neither matte nor gloss, its kind of in the middle which fits me perfectly. I'm mostly impressed by the contrast, lots of shadow details. There is a little 'color banding' which you'll only find it if you do specific tests to reveal it, its not possible for me to notice for normal usages.
-Backlight uniformity and black level: Excellent. In the dark, I set the TV to show a black screen and took photos of it using my camera set to 1/4th and 1/8th seconds exposure to exaggerate any inconsistency/backlight leakage... there was none from what my camera could make out. The full-array LED backlight really does a good job here. Though this TV do not have local-dimming feature, as of writing I do not find any 32" LCD that has it.
-Viewing angle: Excellent. When they say 176* degree horizontally and vertically, they mean it. Though the colors lose some saturation when viewing off angle, but this is a minimal issue for me. I browse the web with this TV so I can tell the black text lighten a bit from an angle, but not enough to bother me. The color that suffers the most is red, if its not a dark shade it might turn pinkish from an angle. (I am being very critical here and is noticing these when viewing static images.) Overall to me the image quality remain excellent and I am thoroughly impressed with the viewing angle.
Power consumption:
This TV is very energy efficient. By my measurement, at factory setting it consumes 61w. With backlight brightness at -8 (out of -16 to 16) it consumes 49w. At lowest setting, it consumes 37w. These measurements are with audio muted and energy saver mode (OPC) turned off.
-Response rate: I notice minimal or no ghosting for videos. I do notice a bit for 3D gaming (connected to my computer video card running high frame rates), but its not bad enough to distract from the experience.
-Diagonal/hexagonal pixels arrangement: Neither positive or negative for me, this Sharp panel is interesting because the pixels are arranged diagonally or hexagonal, instead of horizontally/vertically. I haven't actually found a technical reason for this. Since I was using the screen as a computer monitor, straight lines looks jagged closed up. However, Sharp recommend you stay at least 4ft from the 32" screen, at that distant everything looks smooth. This will be down to personal preference, but I guess you have to see this TV first to know if the diagonal pixels suits you.
Negative points:
-Menu/setting screen: This is not a negative for me, but some people might find the menu screen a bit bland to look at, the graphic looks a bit old and blocky. Again, it won't impress your friends. On the other hand, its quite straight forward and come with many ways to adjust colors which can be useful.
-Speakers: Doesn't effect me since I use external speakers. The internal speakers quality won't be that great. It's a bit trebly sounding. You will want to turn the 'Treble' value from 0 to -6.
-No 1080p for RGB-15pins (PC) connection: Many competitor brands allow 1080p resolution through PC connection. Its my fault for not reading Sharp's manual before buying this TV, though they didn't list it in the specs. Through the PC connection, you are allowed up to 1600x1200 pixels max, though it looks ugly. If you try to force 1080p using your computer's video card settings, it will look ugly. You have to use 720p resolution (1360x768) for the image to look good. The reason why I prefer this PC analog connection over HDMI is because it has much less 'input lag' (which is helpful for gaming). With HDMI, TVs applies more digital effects/processing which can increase input lag time.
-The infamous IPS-panel red and green tint: People who used many IPS-panel monitors will know about this. For the screen I received, it has a pillar of green tint in the middle and the right side of the screen is pinkish, these are noticeable when the screen is showing a static background of white or light gray. Since I use this TV as my computer monitor, I notice it all the time while viewing the web. If the screen is displaying black, viewing it from an extreme off angle shows a huge blob of green tint taking up the majority of screen. Do not worry about this if you are using this TV for its proper purpose: to watch TV and videos. Not everyone will get this problem, but if you do, you will most likely not notice it at all when watching videos.
Input lag (for gamers):
I gave away my 'lag free' computer monitor, so I cannot do a 'side by side stop-watch test' to post the exact input lag time in milliseconds. If you play any games at all, you should change the AV mode to GAME. To do this, open the 'cap' in the bottom of the remote and press 'AV MODE'.
The STANDARD mode with HDMI connection has input lag such that the cursor on the screen moved after you move your mouse. With GAME mode and HDMI, there is very little input lag, but unless you are extremely sensitive/expert gamer, you probably won't notice. For me, I do notice and it is not a placebo effect because I consistently play poorer in online FPS games.
If you want nearly lag free, use GAME mode and the 'RGB 15pin' (PC) connection. Unfortunately, you only get 720p through this connection, 1080p is not supported through this connection. I can only play FPS games well with through this RGB connection.
Calibrating the monitor:
It is clear that by default the color temperature has a blue tint. Try turning the 'Color Temperature' from Middle to Low. Also the color red is pinkish. To fix it, I changed the Red value for "C.M.S.-Value" from 0 to -10. Also to me the colors are a bit saturated and I set 'Color' from 0 to -5.
The screen surface of this LCD TV is thin. I use this TV as a computer monitor. My 'colorimeter' that I regularly used to calibrate colors for computer monitors work with this thin-screen TV, it didn't work with TV with thick-screen surface. Instead of manually adjusting the TV settings, the colorimeter adjust the colors automatically, now the TV is showing very accurate colors with no blue tint. Of course, with this method you have to be using a computer with the monitor and buy a colorimeter.
Overall:
I would recommend this LCD TV if you care most about image quality and don't mind that the physical exterior of the TV isn't made of more expensive metallic materials. I will not be keeping this TV because I play games with it and require very little input lag, however, that can only be achieve through the RGB 15pins (PC) connection. Unfortunately, the PC connection for this TV do not support 1080p. Therefor I am opting for a TV with lower image quality, but does support 1080p through RGB connection.
PRO:
-Excellent image quality, great contrast
-Perfect backlight uniformity, great black level
-Very, very wide viewing angle, however colors can lose some saturation
-Fast response rate (4ms), input lag is acceptable with GAME mode, horrendous with other modes
-Low power consumption
CON:
-The design for the menu/setting screen is bland looking
-Speakers quality not great
-RGB 15pin (PC) input does not accept 1080p resolution, 1600x1200 max, but only look good with 720p
-The one I received have a green and red tint over large part of the screen, noticeable with white and light gray background
PS. Mine came with two hot/stuck pixels, but the funny thing is they disappears or I just rub them with my fingers and they go away and only shows up rarely. It also have a few stuck sub-pixels (the entire pixel isn't stuck, but one of the three sub-pixels that made up the pixel), I almost never notice these though.
 Excellent mid-sized set July 25, 2010
Paul M. Livingston
While a bit pricey considering the cost of others in this particular market segment, it is quite well made and has an outstanding picture! Controls on both the set and the remote are reasonable. From opening the box to fully connected (antenna & blu-ray player) and operating was about 15 minutes (plus another 10 to read the manual to figure out some of the features ;-}) While I gave it 3 stars for sound quality, this is a problem with almost all sets and can be improved considerably by adding exterior speakers, for "run of the mill use" it is ok. Unless you have spares around consider ordering a 6' HDMI cable at the time you order the HDTV set.
Strongly recommend this product to anyone looking for a mid-size set with an excellent picture
