We like:
Styling; menu system; picture is great for 1080p content
We don't like:
Price; remote control; Freeview suffers de-interlacing artefacts
Also known as:
32XL8E, LC-32XL8
You might also need:
Sky HD, Virgin HD or freesat HD; Blu-ray player; games console
CNET UK judgement:
This Sharp Aquos is a great gaming screen that does a decent job with Freeview as well. It will suit people who want a stylish TV that won't fill their lounge with shiny black plastic. It performs well, but keep in mind that the price is high for this size of screen

If you simply must have a 1080p TV, and only have space for a 32-incher, why not consider the Sharp LC-32XL8? It's compact but still capable of producing a full HD picture

It's a very good TV indeed, but we're not convinced the price is justified
Samsung B7020WW (UE55B7020WW)
Could have been one of the best TVs we've seen were it not for the serious backlight inconsistency
