Sharp LC-13S1U Review

By
October 21st, 2004


Summary

Sharp's LC-13S1U-S provides a unique, versatile solution for home installation. The LC-13S1U-S's stylish yet simple design, with speakers placed below the LCD screen, makes this television much narrower than side-speaker models. This enables the LC-13S1U-S to fit into many places throughout the home, all without sacrificing any features! The LC-13S1U-S utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel, which provides levels of high brightness (430 cd/m2), a 500:1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles (170º x 170º). Additionally, the LC-13S1U-S is an EDTV monitor, which means it is compatible with 480p signals from progressive DVD players.
