User Reviews about Sharp LC26DV27UT 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD Player - Black

We received this TV as a gift and have just mounted it in the corner of our workout room using the Peerless PA740 Articulating Wall Mount for 22" to 40" Displays. The TV is mounted right in front of an exercise bike, and the 26" size is perfect for that location (we had considered the 22" size). The sound volume works for us, but my husband would prefer it to be louder if that were an option. The sound is loud enough to hear very well over the noise of an exercise bike when turned to maximum. I will need to see if there are separate speakers I can buy and mount on the tv somehow. There are audio outputs on the TV - digital coaxial and red and white rca. So far we have only used it for DVDs, and it works perfectly. The picture quality looks great even from side angles and from different heights (although the image dims when I look at it when sitting on the floor). We are very happy with the picture quality.

EDIT
We have hooked the TV to our cable line (directly, with no box), and are happy with how the TV works for watching cable. I don't notice slow channel changing.

I'm still trying to decide whether to add external speakers. I purchased an 2 x RCA Male / 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable, 6 inch, plugged it into the RCA output on the TV, and attached it to some old computer speakers. That worked well, so I'm considering trying to buy some smaller computer speakers that I can somehow attach to the TV, which is wall mounted. Note that the speakers have to have their own power cord (some speakers out there attach via usb and no powercord, and that style would not work for this tv). -- Great TV for small room

I just got this TV/DVD combo for my bedroom. The picture quality is excellent, as is ease of use and sound quality. I have a 40" Sony Bravia Z series and the picture on the Sharp is much brighter than on the Sony coming in on the same cable system. The TV is also easy to program and very light weight. So far, all dvd's I've played are great - (both picture and sound), which is one of the main reasons I chose this Sharp unit. An equivalent Sansui also had good reviews and pricing, but I was reluctant to buy a foreign brand with apparently very little, if any, support service. I don't know much about the technical aspects of TV's, but this one seems to have everything anyone would want in this size set, including use as a PC monitor. I haven't tried it with headphones yet, but plan to. One of the other reviewers panned this TV due to the time it takes to change channels, but I haven't found this to be a problem. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, delivery time was excellent and I feel the pricing was competitive. This is a great TV/DVD combo in 26" size! In fact, I almost wish I had bought a 40" Sharp instead of the really pricey 40" Sony Bravia! -- SHARP REALLY DELIVERS!

I bought this Sharp 26" DVD combo on line and did not get a chance to test it before I bought it. If I did I would not have bought this TV. The picture is great and the remote is easy to understand. The problem is when you change the channels it take forever to go from one channel to the next. The screen goes black for at least 5 seconds between each channel change. It's enough to drive you crazy. The second thing that I have found wrong with the DVD part of the TV is the sound quality when a DVD is playing. The sound is so low that it's almost impossible to hear with the volume turned all the way up. I do not have the TV in a place where I can add extra speakers. I would rather buy a TV with speaker that work. I would never never buy a Sharp TV again... -- Sharp LC26DV27UT 26-Inch with Built-in DVD
