A Buyer's Guide to LCD TVs,

So, you want to buy an LCD TV. It was an easy decision, no doubt: One look at the picture is enough to demonstrate that liquid-crystal display is indeed everything you hoped.

Now comes the difficult part. With new brands from old manufacturers hitting the market every day and new sizes and shapes offered, not only will you have to choose a size, but a brand name as well. Ready for some shopping? Below is a rundown of the ups and downs of a bit of what's out there. Take your time; you'll be glad you did.

The 20" LCD TV is about the smallest model readily available in a nice range and, awwww, is it cute! Don't be fooled by the small size, though: The quality of image in the 20" LCD TV is tantamount to that all other models, and the tales of sharpness and amazing contrast are not exaggerated. On top of high technology in picture, any given 20" LCD TV weighs little, totes easily and can be set practically any space you choose.

Having said all this, however, beware of simply plunking down your hard-earned cash on the first 20" LCD TV that catches your eye. (And they'll all catch your eye. In fact, both eyes.) When you're talking about the liquid crystal clarity making precision so exact in the 20" LCD TV, a little quality difference goes a long way.

Proliferating on the LCD TV market in recent months and years is AQUOS. Since undertaking the creation of this specifically-geared line, Sharp Electronics has produced amazing models across the board, starting, naturally with their 20" LCD TV, the LC-20B4US is the 20" LCD TV. The AQUOS 20" LCD TV makes itself distinguishable among the 20" LCD TV herd through its slim, slim three inches of depth. 

As the most minute of the Sharp LCD TV range, the AQUOS 20" LCD TV lives up to the very aim of the 20" LCD TV: it can be situated anywhere and features bonuses such as cable-, VCR- and DVD-readiness, not overwhelmingly typical perks in the 20" LCD TV sphere. Just under $1000 will get you a new AQUOS 20" LCD TV on Amazon.com.
