Pleasing picture quality, looks like brand new

Like the other two guys said, this makes a very nice bedroom (or study) TV set. 20" is about perfect for some late-night TV or DVD watching, and the video quality on this is near-perfect for a non-high definition set. I love the easy to use interface, and hooking up my DVD player and rabbit ear antenna was a total cinch. The built-in speakers are the true surprise here: good sound, loud sound. My unit arrived in an ugly carton but the TV itself looked brand-new. The small remote looked like it had never been even unpacked. I'm having a total blast with this. $300 is a great and makes this a perfect buy if you're in the market for a "small" TV.

Excellent LCD TV (standard NTSC definition)

I rarely buy refurbished products, but when I saw this Sharp 20" LCD TV on Amazon selling for a good price, I bought it for my bedroom. I've had it for the last few days and am *very* happy with the purchase.
br /
br /The TV arrived in a plain Sharp refurnished equipment box. It was well packed -- and even though I accidentally dropped the box on the floor while carrying it to my bedroom, the TV was totally unscathed. When I took out the TV, I couldn't tell it was a refurbished unit at all. Everything was shiny and new. I immediately hooked it up and turned it on. Not a single dead pixel.
br /
br /What really impressed me right away was the clear and bright picture I was getting. I hooked up my Panasonic DVD player (to the TV's composite video input) and popped in "Basic Instinct 2," which I had just received from Netflix. The movie looked beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised that a "small" screen like this could display such high-quality pictures. It was still light outside, and I had to turn the Backlight setting to "dark" because the "normal" backlight was too bright for me.
br /
br /This Sharp, like the higher-end Sharp AQUOS line (the best in LCD TV!), has terrific viewing angles from all sides. Horizontally, the viewing able is at least 170 degrees, so you'll see perfect picture quality even if you view it from a steep side angle. Top and bottom viewing angles are a bit less but still quite wide. Because I sit low in bed to watch TV, my line of view is at about 30 degrees from the LCD surface -- and the picture looks great (a bit darker than head-on, but that's no probelm for me at all as I find the LCD already too bright for my taste). Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the widescreen version of "Basic Instinct 2" on this 4:3 NTSC set.
br /
br /In short, this Sharp 20" LCD TV is an excellent standard-definition set. It also accommodates progressive-scan component video input but I haven't tried that yet. (The manual does mention that the set won't accept HDTV signal.) It's stylish-looking, easy to use, and has excellent image quality. At the remanufactured price, it's the best steal on earth.
br /
br /(Obviously I haven't had this long enough to know its reliability, given it's remanufactured. My other Sharp products -- laptop, TVs, other electronics -- are very reliable, so I hope this will last a long time, too. I'll update this review if anything happens in the next couple years.)

PLEASED 3 1/2 STARS

IF THIS WERE OUR PRIMARY SET I'D GIVE IT A 3 1/2. SINCE THIS IS A SECONDARY "KITCHEN SET" I GIVE IT 4 STARS. OVER ALL WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS TV. SHARP DID THE WORK AND IT CARRIES THEIR WARRANTY. THE PICTURE IS SHARP [no pun intended],CLEAR AND THE COLOR IS GREAT. THE DOWNGRADE COMES FROM THE LACK OF QUALITY IN THE AUDIO. IT'S MORE "TINNY" THAN WE LIKE AND THERE IS NO TONE CONTROL TO CORRECT THAT. NOR IS THERE AN OUTPUT FOR EXTERNAL SPEAKERS. GREAT VALUE AT $349. WILL UPDATE THIS IF PROBLEMS ARISE.
