Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Revitalize your home entertainment with a flat-screen jolt of style and quality in the form of Sharp's Advanced Super View LC-26GA4U. The 26-inch, HDTV- and PC-compatible LCD television--a member of Sharp's stylish AQUOS line--offers a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio to match your favorite movies, and high-definition video resolution up to 720p (progressive-scan) when connected to a DTV set-top box/receiver (not included).

The 1,366 x 768-resolution LC-26GA4U includes 2 detachable, high-aperture aluminum speakers powered by 10 watts per channel. At less than 4 inches deep, the set is perfect for either table or wall positioning. A handy PC Card slot lets you view still images and video you've recorded on a PC Card, and Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit ensures a lightning-quick response time of less than 16 ms for smooth-as-silk video and gaming graphics.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

The LC-26GA4U's Advanced Super View/black TFT (thin-film-transistor) screen offers exceptionally wide (170- by 170-degree) viewing angles and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 800:1 for super-black blacks. Its high brightness (450 cd/m2) ensures wide dynamic range for vivid colors, great depth, and realism. You can place it anywhere--near windows, doors, or other light sources--and its picture will remain vivid. And, with its 60,000-hour lamp life, the backlight life is long enough to give you viewing pleasure for many years. A built-in 181-channel, drift-free PLL synthesized tuner lets you plug your TV antenna or cable box right into the LC-26GA4U and start watching.

Connections consist of 2 high-definition component-video inputs, 1 DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface-Integrated) input, 1 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) input, 3 composite-video inputs, and 1 S-video input. An audio/video output (composite- and S-video with stereo analog audio) facilitates hookup with a surround receiver, DVR, VCR, or other destination.

DVI-I is a direct-digital DVI terminal capable of transmitting both analog and digital video data. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 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 or monitor. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

5 out of 5 stars 'More to See' in Sharp's Aquos 26" LCD TV.......2006-05-28

We bought the Sharp Aquos LC-26DA5U 26" LCD TV a few weeks ago. Great picture quality, superb sound, stylish design. After a lot of research and numerous trips to stores, we narrowed our search down to Sony (picture), Samsung (price) and Sharp (middle ground). Sharp definitely gives you the best of both worlds - quality picture at a great price. One area for improvement - remote control design (reminds me of a laundry bat :-)). Thank you Amazon for the FREE standard shipping offer! Got the TV within a week of purchase.

2 out of 5 stars Great picture and sound when it works..........2005-02-15

Bought this TV in December 2004 (have had a 13" Aquos for a year and love it). About mid-January I started noticing 'flickering' of the picture. Sometimes it does it (and can get really dark too) and sometimes it doesn't. (I have replaced the cables with Monster brand and bought a new DVD recorder so I KNOW it has to be the TV). I'm reluctant to take it to a service center at this point since sometimes it works fine. Very frustrating! I called Sharp and they had no idea...told me just to take it to a service center. Too expensive a set for this kind of problem.

4 out of 5 stars Great Picture.......2005-01-03

The picture is amazing we use this as a bedroom tv/ computer monitor. Analog tv is displayed well in wide mode. I have a Panasonic plasma also and it tends to make people look short and fat with both comcast digital and analog reception in wide mode display, the sharp doesn't do this as much. There seems to be some quality issues, my power supply failed after 5 weeks. The replacement supply is fine so far.

3 out of 5 stars Stylish with some negatives.......2004-10-26

This TV is excellent on style, small footprint, and small comparative weight. This TV is best if your primarily watch DVD's or HDTV, and it is primarily a bedroom or second room TV, not a primary TV. The picture quality and size are not the best for regular cable TV, and the price definitely is not. It is awkward to connect all the necessary wires as they are all on one side or below the TV, and then you are supposed to thread them all through a removable panel with a 2 inch hole. Also, this version does not include a built in HDTV tuner. The computer monitor feature is good for hooking up to a laptop, but it uses up the only HDMI cable port.
