Typical price: £450
What is it: Entry-level 32-inch LCD TV
What we think: Feature-light and a merely solid performer the LC32AD5E may be, but its price is right
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 3 March 2008
Tags: sharp, colours, budget, sort
We like:
Very aggressively priced; pictures occasionally look impressive; well designed
We don't like:
Onscreen menus are hard to read; colours can be weird; black level problems
Also known as:
Sharp LC-32AD5
CNET.co.uk judgement:
As one of the cheapest 32-inch LCD TVs we've ever seen, it's hardly surprising to find that the LC32AD5E is neither high on features nor anywhere near Sharp's best LCD performer. But that's not to say it doesn't hold some appeal for shoppers on a tight budget
