The LC20S7U LCD TV weighs in at just 11 pounds, and at 4.4 inches deep, will not take up as much space in whichever room you choose to put it in as a standard tube style television would. It offers you the flexibility of mounting it on the wall or putting it on a stand, and it is also Energy Star Qualified, meeting the guidelines set by the EPA, so it’s saving you money in electric costs while it’s saving space.

And, of course, the LC20S7U offers you a much cleaner, crisper picture than the standard tube television can, as well, since it is LCD. The screen has a contrast ratio of 500:1, and displays in a 4:3 aspect ratio with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480. It offers a reduction in low-reflection glare via its black TFT panel, and with its wide viewing angle, the picture will remain clear and visible from many different areas of the room. Further, this AQUOS features a proprietary technology from Sharp called Advanced Super View, which provides excellent brightness – you can put this TV next to a window that lets in a lot of light – or another very bright light source like fluorescent lighting – and the picture will remain just as vivid and viewable as it would in a dark room.

While this model does not have a built in HD tuner, it is HDTV compatible. You will be able to watch high definition broadcast signals, albeit at a display level that is not quite up to the standards of an actual HDTV’s picture. The LC20S7U will accept the HDTV signal and automatically downgrade it to fit the capabilities of its panel’s resolution. It offers more flexibility in terms of components, with three stereo audio line ins, one high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) port, two composite video ins, and one S Video line in port. The TV’s sound comes from its two bottom mounted speakers, and is suited well to a smaller room such as a bedroom or kitchen.
For those looking for a small, compact television with built in ATSC/NTSC tuners to have on hand with the analog to digital broadcast changeover occurs in 2009, the Sharp Aquos LC20S7U 20 inch LCD TV is a great choice. With all the flexibility it allows you in terms of placement in a room, and the ports necessary to hook up additional components, you’ll likely find it’s a perfect fit.

And the clean design means that it won’t stick out like a saw thumb either. It has two side mounted speakers together with a stylish black finish that will fit in perfectly anywhere in the home.

What we liked most about the Sharp 20SH7U 20″ LCD TV aside from the crystal clear image and its reduced dimensions, was undoubtedly the price tag. Now and for the first time, truly anyone can have a LCD TV. And with all the features that come bundled in the Sharp 20SH7U, this does not mean you’ll have to settle for a second grade alternative.
