As a new owner of an HDV camcorder, I was glad to see the side HDMI input: it’s now a standard feature on flat panel TVs, but a much-appreciated one all the same. You’ll find two SCART inputs (both of which are Composite/S-Video and RGB capable), a set of Component video and stereo audio jacks, 2 HDMIs, a VGA/PC input, and on the side panel, the remaining HDMI input and S-Video/Composite inputs with accompanying audio jacks. The Sharp LC42B20E includes a standard mix of both analogue and digital AV inputs.

Hidden out of sight and out of mind to the right are power, menu, volume and channel control buttons, and side AV inputs. Dividing these two elements is a nicely placed silver border. The bottom of the front panel features a curved “lip”, which partially covers an all-black speaker grille. DesignĪlthough it’s not quite as small as Toshiba’s “Picture Frame” style bezel, the surround on Sharp’s “Slimline design” is undoubtedly very sleek, and despite succumbing to the irritating gloss-black trend, the slim border frames the screen beautifully without feeling overpowering. So, does it all gel together? To find out, today we’re going to test the Sharp LC42B20E.

Highlights of this series include a 1920×1080 LCD panel of Sharp’s own making, a quoted response time of just 4ms, and 3 HDMI inputs. Sharp’s B20E series proves that the Japanese manufacturer hasn’t stopped moving with the times.
