This model is the 46'' version of the 40'' TV that we tested in our labs, the Sharp Aquos LC-40LE830E.
Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size!
The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different sized televisions with panels from different sources. In that case, our comments are only valid for the panel that we originally tested. Contrast, black levels, colour handling and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another.
Manufacturers who do fit the same panel in all of the TVs in a range can expect the same results across the whole range. The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast. According to our own tests, and assurances from manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.
Pluses
-
Attractive results in 2D and 3D
-
Accurate colours: average deltaE of 2.8
-
No clouding on the unit we tested
-
Matte display largely immune from reflections
-
Low energy consumption: 80 W
Minuses
-
Narrow viewing angles
-
Slightly disappointing contrast ratio (1576:1)
-
Not much crosstalk but more visible than on a plasma
-
Media player not up to scratch
-
Mediocre remote with no backlit buttons
It's third time lucky for Sharp's Quattron technology on the new LE830, which avoids almost all of the mistakes made by its predecessors. There's a great picture in both 2D and 3D, and while the contrast ratio might seem a little weak, at least there's no clouding.
