STANDARD REMOTE: 9JY640147040000

RATING: 4.5/5.0

This is a review of the Sharp LE450 Series LED HDTV which comes in only one size, the 32 inch screen. This TV series serves to be a more basic television for casual viewers, with less impressive specifications. The TV’s panel only offers a 720p resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. Though this TV is more a of budget model, it does come with 2 HDMI inputs, whereas other TVs of the same caliber only come with 1 HDMI port. This TV still remains an economical buy for someone who would like to watch TV with a more updated and modern appearance.

The remote control part number that comes with this television series is the 9JY64014704000. This remote control is easy to use and serves as a standard remote control that will handle all basic functions you might need.

The LED technology is great but does require some calibration out of the box, as colors seem a bit too saturated. The best thing to do to enhance your picture quality is to turn up the back lighting and turn up the brightness. For serious gaming enthusiasts, this would not be the TV for you since the refresh rate is only 60 and gamers require higher refresh rates to truly enjoy playing. The bottom line, this budget model TV is a fair price for the features it offers.

PROS:
• Budget model
• 2 HDMI for a budget-sized TV

CONS:
• 720p resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate
• Needs playing around with settings to get a great picture

MODEL:
• LC-32LE450U

RATING: 4.2 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Super Wi-Fi. This blu-ray disc player is loaded with lots of features for its low, affordable price. Its streamlined appearance is contemporary, and compact and will fit nicely with your TV and other home theater equipment. The built-in super WiFi will give you access to Sony’s entertainment network which includes Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Hulu Plus and much more. With 2 USB ports, you can also connect your thumb drive to one of the 2 ports and listen to your music, and view videos and pictures on your TV screen. Yet another option for browsing or streaming your music and videos is the built-in TV sideview, where you can browse the internet using your compatible phone or tablet. Given all these options, you will certainly be connected online and also be able to socialize with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, even while watching TV.

The part # for the remote that comes with this blu-ray disc player is RMT-B119A.

The blu-ray player loads quickly so you’ll be watching your movie in seconds. Your 2D movies will automatically be converted to 3D where you can fully engage yourself in a theater-like experience. This player also upscales your movies to near 1080p high definition. The I/P noise reduction is designed to eliminate playback noise so that you can experience better picture quality. You will be viewing your movies, sporting events and games with vibrant color, and crystal clear images.

A user commented that last year many users complained about the bad functionality of text input on last year’s player. This year’s player is equipped with a full QWERTY style onscreen keyboard, making it much easier to use. A feature missing from this player is that it has no analog or digital optical outputs, not even for audio, so any equipment you have that is not HDMI compatible will not function. No HDMI cable is included with this player, therefore you must purchase one separately. Another noted complaint is that the apps take a long time to work and the search function also takes a long time to post results. Given the low price, however, for all that this blu-ray disc player delivers, it is definitely worth purchasing.

PROS:
• Inexpensive
• Built-in super WiFi
• Compact, modern design
• High resolution picture quality

CONS:
• No analog or digital optical outputs
• Apps are slow to work

REMOTE: RMT-22

RATING: 4.2 out of 5 stars

Welcome to a review of the Westinghouse T7HW LED HDTV Series. If you are looking for an affordable, basic, good quality HDTV to purchase, this is the series for you. What it lacks for in extra features, it makes up for in picture quality. The contemporary, slim design fits well in any space and is easily mountable on a wall due to its light weight. Some buyers have remarked that the TV has no buttons on the front except for the on/off switch, meaning the remote control is necessary to watch TV and change channels or set preferences.

The set up is easy and the 2 HDMI inputs allow for hooking up of several devices including gaming consoles, sound systems, and a computer. There are also headphone jacks for your convenience. With wide horizontal and vertical angles, you can enjoy remarkable picture quality from any area in the room. This series offers stunning images and brilliant, vivid colors with lots of details. For the low price, what more could you want?

The remote that comes with this series is the RMT-22. It is a standard, basic model and easy to use.

The sound quality for this series, as with many slim, flat screen TVs, is ordinary. Some users have commented that a muffled/hollow sound comes out from the speakers. Others are content with the sound and have no issues. If you are particular about high-end sound and want a “surround sound” type of experience when you watch movies or play games, there is a simple solution. By attaching a sound bar, good quality speakers or a sound system to the TV, you will be able to achieve superior sound quality and enjoy your new TV.

PROS:
• Low, bargain price
• Crystal clear images and brilliant, vibrant colors
• Wide vertical and horizontal angles
• Easy set-up

CONS:
• Average sound quality
• No internet connectivity
