The SH20U series features a high contrast ratio of 800: 1 for rich black tones and crisp on-screen images, and a pixel response time of less than 12 ms for excellent picture quality even on fast-moving action scenes.

Amazon.com Product Description
Distinctively designed for an attractive centerpiece to any room, the 37-inch Sharp LC37SH20U LCD HDTV will also provide exceptional HDTV and home theater entertainment for years to come, thanks to its 60,000-hour long life screen. You'll enjoy highly detailed colors and amazing depth of picture as well as appreciate its slim footprint. It has a built-in ATSC tuner that pulls HD signals right from the airwaves (via an optional antenna), and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. It comes with its own tabletop stand, and it can also be wall-mounted via optional hardware. This set features a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution for a true 16:9 aspect ratio--perfect for watching your favorite widescreen movies in the format they were intended. It has a high 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, which provides a vivid picture even when placed near windows, doors, or other light sources. It also offers a 170-degree viewing angle so everyone in the room can enjoy the picture, a 12 ms (millisecond) response time (which helps fast moving video not appear jaggy), and an 800:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) It has two bottom-mounted stereo speakers that produce 10 watts of total audio power (5 watts per channel). Other connection options include: - Composite AV (RCA): 2 in
- S-Video: 1 in
- Component Video: 1 in
- HDMI: 1 in
- RF: 1 in
- Total analog audio in: 4
- Analog audio out: 1
- Digital optical: 1 out
Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV). Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. What's in the Box

 Fragile Screen March 8, 2007

BEWARE, the screen is made of glass and is very fragile! Mine arrived to me, in Miami, damaged and trying to get through to Amazon to find out the best way to return it proved to be most frustrating. I wish they would make communicating with them painless for their customers who have a problem. I did get a refund in the end.

So far nice TV but poor CS January 19, 2007

I hope to be able to come back and rate this TV but as of now I cannot even turn the TV on. The box does come with the stand but it doesn't come with the screws to attach it. So right now I have a nice large LCD screen laying down somewhere while Sharp sends me the screws. They could not expedite them (nor could they tell me the sizes of them so I could try to get some at the hardware store to use in the meantime) and told me if I can't wait 7-10 business days then they understand if I want to return the TV. Wow doesn't that just give me the warm fuzzies? She did however stress how they're sending me the screws for free. I guess I should be thankful! I will update this review when and if the screws come unless I get too fed up and return it. I hope if I keep it that I'm eventually happy with its performace.
EDIT: We ended up wall mounting this TV rather than wait weeks for the screws. So far it looks wonderful and has a very nice picture. I would definitely upgrade the performance to 4 stars leaving off one for poor CS.
