Tags: Sharp, Sharp Aquos LE700 (LC46LE700E), motion blur, hi-def, LCD TV

We like:

Intense colour reproduction; good black levels; plenty of set-up flexibility; not a bad price for what's on offer

We don't like:

No Ethernet connection; dismal picture presets; motion isn't totally smooth; standard-definition pictures could be better; audio is rather weak

CNET UK judgement:

Adding 100Hz processing into the mix, Sharp's Aquos LC46LE700E certainly improves on the cheaper Aquos LC40LE600E's already good picture quality, at least as far as standard-definition material is concerned. It's just a shame the improvements aren't more pronounced
