Sharp LC-60LE636

HD TV Reviews (32" and Above)

It's been a while since we've seen such a big TV from Sharp, but now the firm is back in business with this new 60'' monster. It's absolutely enormous, but if you've got a big enough sitting room to be able to sit four metres back, then why not go for it? If the large size of the screen doesn't convince you, then perhaps the relatively small price tag will ... The LC-60LE6356E has everything you'd expect from a modern television—apart from support for 3D. For instance, the LED backlighting is lodged in the frame, keeping it to a very slim 3 cm for 90% of the surface, only widening to 7 cm to include the speakers. Sharp's new design is generally pretty minimalist, and involves glossy black plastic. The only weak spot is the stand, which doesn't allow any adjustments to the position of the screen but still feels too flimsy. A wall mount is a much more attractive option. Unlike most of its rivals, Sharp has fitted a decent anti-glare coating to the display, making it 'semi-glossy'. For multimedia features, you've got the full house, including DLNA support, a PVR that records onto a hard drive or USB key and a media player.
