Sharp LC-LE650 series (photos)


The Sharp LE650 series sets the big-screen LCD TV value bar high with very good picture quality for the price.

If you're looking for a big-screen TV of 60 inches or above then Sharp should be one of the first brands you consider. Last year's LE640 was a decent buy, and its replacement is more of the same; furthermore, they're almost identical.


While there have been a couple of tweaks to the company's design and picture processing not all of them have been successful, and the net result is the same -- the Sharp LE650 is a decent-though-not-exciting television.


Its highlights are an expanded smart TV offering with Skype and Hulu Plus now standard, while in picture quality terms both color and shadow detail also gets a bump. On the flipside a smaller cabinet means sound quality is compromised and it doesn't perform as well with interlaced content.


At the price it's a pretty good deal, but this is only the first TV to show its head in 2013 -- I expect it will receive a lot of competition in the next nine months -- particularly from the likes of Vizio and its M series.
