Conclusion
The LG LW550T television only just misses out on a four-star rating because it can't quite deliver the same image quality as its big brother the LG LW650S. That doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great 3D TV.
The Sharp LC-60LE636E is a good giant TV. It will be a big hit with most viewers, but real Home Cinema fans will probably prefer a plasma TV to avoid problems like clouding, an uneven performance across the whole surface of the screen and slightly disappointing viewing angles.
