Sharp AQUOS LC52LE700UN 52 Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV
The LE700 series again illustrates Sharp’s LCD technology leadership while also demonstrating its LED engineering advantages. Sharp’s UltraBrilliant LED system illuminates the TV to extremely high brightness and contrast levels and enables significant environmental benefits such as longer life expectancy, no heavy metals and lower power consumption. At the same time, the XGen LCD Panel utilizes an ingeniously devised pixel design that permits more light to pass through even while minimizing light leakage, with the result being the deepest black levels that AQUOS has ever achieved. Overall, the LE700 series shows that with Sharp, it’s not just LED… it’s AQUOS LED.

IMO, If you are too picky about these attributes, it is better to go for [...] or [...]. Since I am not satisfied with the image processing I decided to go for Sony Bravia W5100.
5 Stars Awesome display with a great price
I’ve had this tv for a week now,and i cant say a bad thing about it.This is my third Sharp tv and i love this one.I had interest in the LG lh90 at the time of purchase.I compared this tv to the lg lh90,aswell as Samsungs led tv 6000 and 7000 and Panasonic plasmes.This tv held its own.Those tvs in my opinion had nothing better then Sharps led 700un,other then thiness in depth.Picture Quality,they had nothing superior then the Sharp.Save your money and get the Sharp…you’ll be glad you did,and so will your electric bill.
4 Stars Love it.
Got this baby two days ago, and wow, its amazing. First I’ll start off with CONS: Aquos NET is stupid, worthless, and sharp should change it. The sound is next to worthless.
Ok, thats out of the way, picture quality is great. Find me for this price a 46″ 120hz quality tv. Add in LED and you’ve got yourself an amazing deal. The standard definition dvds look amazing on this. Localized dimming is far from perfected, so not a big deal it doesnt have it, but I was comparing this to the superthing samsung edgelit, and this was a more even picture IMO.
5 Stars AMAZING !!!!!……
…. is the best word to describe this TV. After months of research, questions, comparing, and price shopping, I truly feel like I got the best bang for my buck with this TV. The picture is amazingly crisp and bright, the colors pop off the screen, and the blacks are very good for an LCD-LED. One of the main questions I had was the 120Hz vs. the 240Hz, and if that really made a big difference. After talking with countless reps and reading/watching reviews online it was pretty clear that even these “experts” were having a hard time noticing any major difference. If they did see a difference, it was minimal at best. To each their own though. Each of our brains process images differently, so some people might notice a difference. I could not see any major difference, so it was not worth paying the $400 more for the 240Hz.
For me, it came down to this TV vs. the Samsung UN46B7000. Here is why I decided to go with the Sharp……
* Comparing them side by side the picture/colors were better on the Sharp. Period.
* With the full backlit LEDs vs. the edge lighting on the Samsung, the Sharp’s screen was brighter.
* Sure the Samsung is much slimmer coming in at just under an inch and a half, but you don’t buy a TV to look at it from the side. I have mine mounted on the wall, and it only sticks out 4 inches. Really what you have to decide is what you prefer…. asthetics of the TV vs. picture quality.
* Read every review on the Samsung and the most common complaint about them is the sound. Because it’s so thin, the speakers are crap, and the sound is horrible. If you are seriously looking at a Samsung, go into the store and have the rep turn off the surround sound and turn up the TV’s speakers. You’ll understand what I’m talking about.
* And the #1 reason??……..it’s cheaper. After all, it’s all about the Benjamins.
I would highly recommend this TV to anyone who is looking to make the jump to an LCD-LED. Not only do you get amazing picture quality, but it’s cheaper than most LCD-LED sets out there. 5 stars.
5 Stars Extreamelly Recomanded “LED TV” (Five Stars)
This TV is unbelievable – it has the best picture quality I have ever seen. Don’t be fooled by the fetchers that Samsung and LG have. I compared this TV side by side with Samsung UN46B8000 and I liked the Sharp way more than the Samsung. My advice is to compare this TV with any other TV you intend to buy and see the difference your self. I strongly recommend this TV and if you don’t like it I will buy it from you!!
GOOD LUCK!

5 Stars No flashlighting, No banding. GREAT VALUE.
It’s been about a month now owning this TV and I am generally very happy with my purchase. In almost all aspects its just a wonderful TV and I think it’s certainly a no brainer in the current LED market. Here’s what I’ve found out about my new Sharp TV:
Pros:
It’s got the blacks you want. Plain and simple. Definitely impressive stuff compared to my other two LCD’s in the house.
Nothing dead, nothing stuck, no flashlighting, and no banding. Another reviewer mentioned these problems but from what I have experienced and what I have heard from others this is a near non existent problem.
Deep customization for adjusting hue, saturation, tint etc etc allowing for really fine tuning. Personally this has been more of a con but its only because I’m too cheap to pay for calibration.
Great, vibrant colors in general with a picture that has “Pop”.
Cons:
The included remote really isn’t that great. I don’t enjoy the buttons themselves nor the layout. Of the Phillips, Sanyo, and Toshiba’s I have used recently I would say this isn’t the worst but not as nearly as good as the Toshiba’s. Whatever, not much of a con but it’s true. You can always use a universal.
As good as the colors are…your gonna need some calibrating to get this one right. I am still trying to get what I want out of this guy but I’m positive it’ll work out in the long run. Mainly it’s an issue with flesh tones.
The speakers are honestly pretty poor. Even compared to my Phillips and Sanyo LCD’s these speakers just have a bit of a tinny sound. Not a huge deal but this is where I have knock half a star off on my overall review.
No matter what, this is a winning product. Highly recommended…especially in the 32″ market. GREAT VALUE. ~4.5 STARS / 5
3 Stars Great value if you can ignore its flaws.
Considering the technologies packed into this tv, its one of the better value among its class, if you can live with some of its flaws.
Positives: Very, very good picture quality after calibration. Blu-rays look especially stunning. Deep black, and very good black details.
Neutral: Slow tuner, changing analog and digital channels takes at least a couple of seconds. Average input lag. Using Guitar Hero 3 lag calibration tool, I was able to get 48 milisec in Game mode, and between 90 – 130 milisec in other modes.
Negative: Flashlighting. My tv came with 2 large spots, the size of my palm each. Reducing the backlight helps somewhat, but they’re clearly visible during dark scenes such as the cave scenes of Iron Man blu-ray.
Some recent Sharp panels had banding issues. This Genx panel supposedly corrected this problem. However, I’m disappointed to find out that it is still present at least on my tv.
I have an inch wide, faint verticle band on the left side of the screen. I didn’t detect this initially until watching the oil field burning scene in Baraka. Subsequently I noticed it came up during watching the US open, and Master and Commander. I can conclusively confirm that the banding is there with my tv when displaying a solid green jpeg. Again this banding is quite faint and very hard to detect, but once I did it’s very hard for me to ignore.
4 Stars Good Picture But Dark
We had a service rep from Sharp come out to look at the tv because the picture was so dark. He changed the display settings but otherwise said there was nothing that he could do. So I was curious what the electronic big box store had there displays set on. Basically the same thing: BACKLIGHT +14, CONTRAST +30, BRIGHTNESS 0, TINT 0, SHARPNESS +10. The salesperson at the big box store said that they have to reset all their display TVs higher than the factory settings because the pictures are dark. Huh(?) So I don’t know. We like the sharpness of the picture for most TV that we watch, but some night seens on this TV are hard to make out because they are too dark. Turning up the brightness just washes out the day seens.
4 Stars Great Picture. Terrible Sound.
I was in desperate need of a 1080p 32″ HDTV that would fit into the existing entertainment cabinet in my living room, which is exactly 31″ wide. You’d be amazed at how difficult it is to find a 32″ LCD that meets that requirement. Most are around 31.5″, which is very close but just wouldn’t fit.
Long story short: The set has gorgeous picture quality. No complaints at all about that. Unfortunately, the speakers are extremely tinny and just plain awful. The limited audio controls in the setup menu allow you to adjust treble and bass. I wound up pulling treble almost all the way to the bottom to temper the scratchy highs, and then nudging bass up a bit. But don’t turn the bass up too high, or the speakers will distort during loud noises. The best I can get it still sounds far worse than the 20 year-old standard-def set that this is replacing. This TV really requires the use of a separate audio system. In my case, that means I’m going to have to find a soundbar that will also fit my cabinet. I hadn’t planned on that.
The television is fairly easy to set up. My only disappointment there is that the set only offers a 4:3 pillarbox mode on standard-def input signals. HD input signals are locked to 16:9. Because the upconverting DVD/Blu-ray player I plan to use with this TV doesn’t offer a pillarbox mode either, I’m going to have to train my wife to set the player for 480p output whenever she wants to watch her beloved Gilmore Girls DVDs, and then set it back to 1080p afterwards. Or else she’ll have to watch them stretched, which neither of us finds acceptable. That’s going to be a big nuisance (with a long learning curve, undoubtedly). Why don’t TV manufacturers enable full aspect ratio control on both SD and HD signals?
The set’s a little expensive. But, again, gorgeous picture. I’m happy with the purchase overall, despite these caveats.
5 Stars a winner
got this about a week ago. the picture is amazing. very black blacks, extremely sharp color. paired with a sharp aquos blu-ray player, the aquos link system works very nicely. more than enough connections. menu/settings are pretty easy to access/understand. LED technology seems the way to go given the energy savings and life of the backlight, and sharp seems to have a winner here. interesting to me – if you upgrade to this from an old lcd hdtv, you’ll notice a huge difference in the heat coming from the tv.
the only downside are the speakers – they are clear enough but tiny and hollow. but this holds for every lcd tv on the market as far as i am concerned, so i can’t really hold this against sharp.
like the previous reviewer said, as long as it proves reliable sharp has produced a tv that gives the best sony, samsung, and other sets a run for their money – at a much lower price.
