>> Mr. Katzmaier: David katzmaier from
CNET here and I'm sitting next to Sharp's
LC32D47UT. This is Sharp's least expensive
32 inch LCD for 2009. And it's a 720p
resolution model. And the thing to remember is
at this screen size you don't really need 1080p
so it's fine to go with the lower resolution.
The design on the Sharp is actually a little
bit more attractive than a lot of the other
entry-level sets on the market. It's got the
glossy black frame on all sides and sort of a
little curve on the bottom here. There's also
a stand that matches but it does not swivel.
The feature set on this TV is entry-level but
there are a few more connectivity options than
most of it's competition. There's to HGMI
inputs, two component video inputs, and a PC
input. The side panel adds a coveted third
HGMI input option so you can connect even more
HGMI gear than to your standard entry-level 32
incher. Picture adjustments are again more
extensive than a lot of the other competition.
You can go into the menu and play with the
color six ways from Sunday with the CMS system
and unfortunately it's a little too complex
even for us and that we do wish there was a
color temperature adjustment that was a little
more complex in its own right. So all things
considered the color definitely misses the mark
in the adjustment category. Sharp included
more power saving features, however. There is
a room lighting sensor as well as a power saver
mode that are both designed to reduce
brightness one in response to room lighting
conditions and the other just to cap the
brightness and of course both of those do
reduce power. This is one of the more
efficient TVs of its size we've tested. When
we took the Sharp into the lab we were
impressed by its relatively deep black levels.
It did achieve a slightly darker color of black
than a lot of the other entry-level LCDs out
there, but its color was less accurate. It did
have kind of neon looking primary colors and
its color temperature was a little bit bluish
so all things considered it was a mixed bag in
terms of performance. And that's a quick look
at the Sharp LC32D47UT. And I'm David
Katzmaier.
