Once again, Sharp has shown its LCD technology leadership by successfully creating a LCD-TV category. By leveraging their technology expertise in Blu-ray Disc players, Sharp's AQUOS TV engineers have developed Full HD 1080p LCD-TVs with a built-in Blu-ray Disc slot, enabling you to take easy and full advantage of 1080p Blu-ray titles. The slot is also backwards compatible enabling it to play DVD and CD titles. The LC-32BD60U features a screen size class of 32" (31-35/64" Diagonal). It features Sharp's proprietary advanced super view Superlucent LCD panel for the brightest, most vivid colors with reduced haze. Sharp's proprietary spectral contrast engine UD (Ultra Dark) provides high contrast ratio and deep black levels. The LC-32BD60U features 3 HDMI terminals, two HD component inputs, a PC input and RS-232C for control.Customer Review: Just Great - Should sell millions.
I Could not find my tv here or at the Sharp website. It may have been made for the military PX only. I have the 42 inch version of this tv. (LC-42BD80U). Well, I'm just a consumer who has looked at and read reviews on Plasma/LCD TVs for the last 5-6 years before I purchased my first one last year. (Samsung 46 inch 1080p) I don't know alot of spec lingo or jargon. All I know is that this TV is great to own and the price is good. I may have gotten it for a little less do to not having to pay tax at the PX and was given an additional discount for using a PX credit card for the fist time and no intrest for 6 months. I set the TV up and started watching TV within 30-40 minutes. I like the features, pictures and look. The only problem I had until I called Sharp was that my remote did not work when a dvd was in. The movie played fine, but I could not get it to stop, pause, fast foward of anything. 10 minutes on the phone and that problem was hsitory. I read the other reviews before mind and feel that sometimes "what you don't know you won't miss". I feel this will apply to the average buyer. The possitives over rides any negatives. We can find something negative in everthing we buy. You'll have to look hard here.
Customer Review: Very Good Overall Performance - Built in Blu-ray a Plus!
Received this 1080p LCD TV two days ago...this is an initial hands-on review. This is the first line of LCD TVs to contain a built-in Blu-ray DVD player. I needed this because of space limitations and for convenience. This TV extracts the highest resolution from Blu-ray DVDs for an exceptional picture. Conventional DVDs also produce an excellent picture and are upconverted from 480p. So far, I'm pleased. This TV will accept virtually all current video signals up to 1080p + PC input, making it as future proof as any current LCD TV. But there are some caveats. 1. TV Setup: TV is well packaged and protected. The Owners Manual is detailed and understandable. You must attach the base stand to the TV unless you intend to wall hang it. The black lacquer stand attaches easily using phillips screws and a screwdriver provided. All plastic protective coverings stayed on the TV and stand until final placement because black lacquer surfaces and LCD screens attract fingerprints and scratches. The base doesn't swivel or tilt. It is hefty and supports the TV very well. 2. Inputs abound: Seven inputs can handle most sources. They include three HDMI HDCP inputs, an Analog PC input, and various component/S-video/composite combos. Additionally, a USB input (called a Service Terminal) is provided for future firmware updates. I have an HD TiVo with HD Digital Cable service connected via HDMI. The TV and TiVo synched perfectly and the TV automatically labeled this input as TiVo...cool feature. Picture controls are adjustable for each input and maintain their settings. 3. Blu-ray Player (Profile 1.1, upgradeable): The DVD player forms a slight bulge on the rear right of the TV and is not obvious. It has a USB port for memory expansion and an ethernet port for future BD-Live capability. When a DVD is inserted into the loading slot, the TV switches to DVD input, reads the type disc and begins playing. Very easy to use! I tested two Blu-ray DVDs and two conventional DVDs without a hitch. Blu-ray DVDs took just under two minutes to load their data and play. Conventional DVDs took less than a minute. Commercial or homemade music CDs also work, however homemade MP-3 music disks will not play. The DVD player initially makes slight noises as the disk is loading. Once play starts it is silent. If there is a fan, it is very quiet. DVD functionality seems very well integrated into the electronics, remote control, and overall operation of this TV. 4. Limitations of the Blu-ray player: First, audio output to A/V receivers is bitstream via optical output in Dolby Digital 5.1 or 2-channel PCM. Analog 2-channel rca outputs are also provided. None of the next generation audio formats found on Blu-ray DVDs, i.e., Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, can be output. Second, if the player fails I must return the entire TV for service. Third, this is a profile 1.1 player. The owners manual indicates it will be upgradeable to profile 2.0 at a future date. If you can live with these limitations (which I can), then convenience, space savings, and ease of use make this a valuable addition. 5. Performance: Overall excellent picture with Standard and High Definition sources, after some adjustment. Sound is about average for this size TV. Bass and Treble, along with a Surround mode are adjustable. Blu-ray DVDs display exceptional video quality. HD Cable programs are pristine. Normal DVDs look very good. Sound is boosted slightly when playing DVDs and I perceived a very slight improvement in overall dynamics. Out of the box, after some adjustments, this TV exhibits a very slight red push...not a deal breaker. This means reds were somewhat over emphasized in all picture modes. Luckily, the Color Management System allows very detailed adjustment of each of six colors in Hue, Saturation, and Value (brightness). This is in addition to the normal contrast, tint, brightness, and color controls. Additionally, backlight is adjustable (from off to full on) as are video noise reduction controls. I'm sure with the help of my Avia test DVD and some experimenting, I'll be able to tweak the picture to my liking. 6. Summary: I'm very satisfied at this point. Factoring the price of a separate Blu-ray player into the price of a quality 1080p 32inch LCD TV makes this combo a reasonable alternative to separate components in my view. Limitations aside, the convenience of having a well integrated DVD player attached to a TV makes sense for many folks.
DVD storage for most people that collect their favorite DVDs or blu ray discs are of major importance these days. Everyone has that collection of media that outlasts their existing storage unit whether its a tower or a cabinet of some sort. If your like me you have a tower full of DVDs and keep adding the others on the ground next to the tower so its nothing but cluttered.
To avoid having your DVDs lying on the actual DVD player itself or just stacking the DVD jackets on the ground you should look into various DVD storage units that accommodate a growing number of DVDs in your never ending collection. They come in a variety of options such as storage cabinets, cases, towers and even portable units which come in small, medium and large.
There are several color schemes and options for DVD storage and there is no limit to what you can purchase. Many of the big retail centers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart offer several storage units but many individuals look to the internet to look at reviews and find the right option for their audio video storage.
Selecting the right multimedia storage unit is strictly personal preference. You can find storage cabinets, storage cases, adjustable or detachable shelves and single,double and even triple drawers with locking options as well. Most DVD storage units serve a twofold purpose as a CD storage unit as well. CD storage cabinets are very popular and many people use one media storage cabinet that serves two functions. This is a popular method and is probably the most cost effective.
Some of the dvd storage options come with a floor mount or wall mount setup. They also have tower storage units with a 360 degree swivel base for easy access to your collection. There are also foldable more compact options so that you may store your collection out of harms way from pets and children. They can be stowed away under a bed or piece of furniture or if you prefer to hide them in a closet for safekeeping.
When you decide to purchase a multimedia storage unit be sure to research all the latest and greatest units out there and get one that has durability and reliability first and foremost. The internet is great for reading reviews on all the best brands and then go to your local Walmart or Best Buy and find the particular product or just purchase online.
