Good points:: The quality of the picture is amazing. So clear and crisp. Fanastic for watching films. I love the eco friendliness of the Sharp LC52LE700E 52 Inch Full HD LED TV.
Bad points:: Only downside which is only minor is the sound so not great for listening to music without external speakers.

Kay, South East Multi-purpose viewer

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Picture quality, especially HD is stunning. Overall very impressed with quality and design.
Bad points:: Sound quality is very poor and 'tinny' no matter which setting tried, which is the only disappointing feature. Have resorted to connecting separate surround sound.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Picture quality and value for money have got to be the maim attribributes of this tv. I was suprised how good the sound qualitity was thinking it would be a lot worst than it actually is. However, I will still be looking at inproving it with additional speakers and bass unit (5.1 system), but in no hurry yet. I thought, I would have to rush out and buy them straight away, as per usuall with larger tv's, the speakers let them down, the sound on this TV is good but not great, but I'am a bit of a HIFI buff, as my wife would say, so would probalbly suit most peoples needs, but if you want to add a bit of a punch to upset your neighbours, then you will need to consder an additional sound system within your budget, if you haven't already got one.
There is no doubt that the LED backlite TV 's do offer a better picture quality, its almost like upgrading to HD tv, but all you have done is changed your Telly, is probabily the best way to describe it.
There are probably a lot of better desgn tv's out in the market place, but none that are better value for money, I'm pleased with my purchased and are confident that you will also be, if you decide to purchase one.
Bad points:: The only other thing that I feel that can be improved on, apart from the sound as mentioned earlier, is the remote control.
Because the TV has many functions, a lot of these are done through the remote control, although I have had the TV for nearly three months now, I still sometime forget which button does what, but hopefully this will come to me in time, or it could be just my old age creeping op on me and i'm not realising it. The basic functins are straight forward, its changing the screen type,input and different modes of sound etc, the ones you don't use every day.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky.

Number of scart ports	2
