The Sharp Aquos LC-26P70E - Is This The Best Value For Money LCD Flat Screen TV There Is?

A friend of mine swore that he just can't stay a day without the benefits of Digital TV. It's not surprising why this is so -- with the hundreds of various channels to choose from. Aside from the many channels that Digital TV has, there are lots of other reasons why it's preferred than Cable TV.

One of the reasons is the fact that you can watch your favourite channels and get access to information. Lots of channels now exist on Digital TV -- from move channels to information channels. Who says children are left out of the wonder of Digital TV?

Gone are the days of spending so much money before you can watch more than a few channels... all thanks to the introduction of Digital TV. Subscribers can easily pay for Digital TV subscription than they can pay for Cable TV. This is one of the aspects that have lots of people stunned. More should cost more, not less.

Why should you continue to pay much more for Cable TV when you can pay less and receive more? Ask any lover of Digital TV and they will confess to you that their greatest love for the technology isn't just the name - Digital TV - but the variety of channels they are now presented with. Digital TV can't be compared to any other at the moment -- with their comedy channels, movie channels, information channels, music channels, etc, you have a lot to choose from. Cable TV certainly can't compare with Digital TV in this regard.

This is all well and good but what practical difference to our lives does all of this make as far as the Sharp Aquos LC-26P70E Digital TV is concerned.

The LC-26P70E is a 26in LCD TV and these TV's at present can be found in the region of 675 pounds sterling or 1350 US dollars. The screen resolution is 960 X 540 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is No. The Sharp has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the LC-26P70E uses is HDMI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the Sharp is available from limited outlets only.

All these points being taken into consideration, how would we view the Sharp Aquos LC-26P70E?

The most obvious place to start with as far as TV's are concerned would be the picture quality and our score here would be 8, and closely tied in to the picture quality is the sound quality and our score for this would be 8. Another useful aspect to review is the availability and number of relevant connections and our score here would be 6. If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 8 and for ease of use and overall value for money we would give it, 8 and 8 respectively.

Finally our overall opinion would be this TV does have its limitations there is no hiding that and one of the major ones is that it is not HD ready so to be honest its lifespan is going to be limited. Within those limitations however you would probably not get better value for money elsewhere. This is definitely a made for standard-def TV and to that end it excels tremendously.

The fact is that given the wide variety of models and makes available today you should find something that suites your needs as well as your wallet. The choice, as they say, is completely down to you to decide whether to stay at the forefront of what are rapidly changing technologies and fashion or to remain part of the safer but perhaps better developed mainstream.
