LCD TV Sharp LC32RD1E 32 inches / 81 cm

After the big brother, 46-inch, it is the turn of LC32RD1E. We recognize very quickly to its typical design AQUOS black underscored by a wave. For a television from the stripe, the manufacturer emphasizes specifications better than those of competitors, the response time or contrast of 1200:1 constant for example. The circuit Tru-D is still the party in terms of image processing, point that we were a little disappointed on LC46XD1E.

Regarding connections, we find a benefit usual a little lighter with the YUV that is not usable by a supplied adapter and use of the VGA input. The 2 HDMI inputs are present and the panel is always placed on the side which makes access convenient. The integrated TNT is also still there.
At the outset, we test the 32-inch with TNT and a DVD player. The circuit Tru-D comes into play, but there are digital grain. Clearly, Micronas (the designer of Tru-D) is really not at the level of what we can do at Philips. This processing enhances the contrast well, but remains unable to suppress the tingling. It now comes with a reader who comes HD blur in large part the lack of noise. It gives a very mixed picture, but does not show as much detail as from Panasonic, for example. But this time, no worries Banding encountered on the Full HD model. It then connects a PC through an HDMI input and uses the method of image format to avoid the overscan. And then, disappointment: underscanning who was present on the Full HD has disappeared. Sharp has been the economy of this function that we had on the delighted 46 inches. It certainly inevitably a part of the picture. Explanation: overscan will really inconvenient for those who want to use this TV monitor in time for regular PC. For occasional use, this screen may be the case. Because, for those who put their shortcuts on the desktop, this fault them pose fewer problems. You can also play''''alt + tab to switch from one application to another, but it remains troublesome in many cas.La resolution to be adopted Admission is 1280 x 720 pixels to produce a stable and readable.

Not surprisingly, we are left with 9000 ° K color temperature measured with the original settings in''dynamics''. We are going to excavate the OSD and hope any improvement.
There are basic Sharp interface with menus associated with the brand. Following our setting image mode''Standard''and''color temperature''on''Low'', then we fall around 7000 ° K. The average deltaE located 5.4 startup, does not really improve and increase to 4.9. This is really low compared to our reference LG LB1R which showed 2.4 on this criterion. The response time to 6ms announced does not seem especially capricious and it is yielding good results. It is still very difficult to differentiate it with a slab of 8ms. The contrast is at 950:1 in 1200 announced it approximates what the manufacturer communicates. Indeed, we feel very good with this slab of technology that ASV is one of its strengths. The Aquos Pixel System II, according to Sharp, guarantees travellings perfectly fluid, which remains very marketing. If only because the TV is not 24p (see box about the jerks in HD), on the HD we find many micro-saccades. On a brief tour of OSD menus that remain of great simplicity. In all, we must abide by a decline of 2.50 m to take advantage of this LCD.
