Sharps' LC-32LX20E was the first full HD 32in screen to be released in the UK. Since then we've been eagerly anticipating a sequel and it's finally arrived, in the shape of the LC-32XL8E you see before you.
If I was to (crudely) summarise Sharp's LCD output in recent times, I'd say that while its core panel design is strong, its image processing isn't amongst the best in the market. And unsurprisingly this pretty accurately describes the 42LX2E, too.
Of all the TVs we've looked at recently, Sharp's LC-32X20E is the most self-consciously game oriented. It's even pitched as a games TV in some of its marketing, and has two key features up its sleeve to make good on its promise.
Usually we like 100Hz processing on LCD TVs. Yet somehow the 100Hz system Sharp employed on its previous models just didn't cut it, making pictures look artificial and glitchy. So let's hope Sharp has improved things considerably with the great looking LC46LX2E, complete with the brand's second generation of 100Hz.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that the picture quality on the new category of slimline ‘flat’ TVs may have been sacrificed to the whims of designers. Not so on Sharp’s first foray into the super-slender sector. And there’s plenty more about this telly that makes it excellent value.
