| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Sharp LC-42D43U, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | Although it has a couple of weaknesses, the overall picture quality of the Sharp LC-32D43U puts it among the best LCDs of its size. | While its black levels and uniformity mark the LG LH30 series as an entry-level display, its extensive picture controls allow the color accuracy of a flagship model. | CNET did not review the Samsung LN40A750, but we did review a larger model in the series. | The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. |
