Sharp Aquos LC-20B8US 20-Inch HD-Ready LCD Flat Panel TV
Good TV set
This is my first LCD TV so you might take my opinions with a grain of salt.  It has a very bright display with rich, saturated colors.  I am very pleased with the picture quality, even though I don't have an HDTV setup.  I have it in my bedroom so the size, while not huge, is appropriate for the room.  I deliberatly chose the 4:3 aspect ratio because I am fond of watching old movie serials and old TV DVD's and it is perfect for that.  Otherwise I might have gone for a widescreen.  Should I ever be in the market for a larger screen TV, Sharp would be at the top of my list of considerations.         Edit:  Now that some time has elapsed, I have found one thing about this TV which I find particularly annoying, and that is the Closed Captions.  You cannot turn them off and keep them off.  That is, when you select OFF for the closed captions it might stay off for a little while.  Then if you change the channel the things are back on again making it necessary to go back to the menu and turn them off all over again.  Except sometimes it still is off but the CC's are on anyway.  I use the mute button because I don't want to hear commercials and I don't want to read on screen the dialogue either.  But I can't get rid of the closed captions.  I was watching some of the World Cup on a Spanish station and I muted the audio because I cannot speak Spanish, but here come the closed captions pasted right on the screen in Spanish!!  I find this so annoying that I changed my mind about buying another Sharp TV set.  I don't care how nice the picture is.  My mother has a new Panasonic TV and never has problems with the closed captions.
