I was in the market to replace the 15-inch Magnavox TV I'd had in my bedroom for six years (and at which I had to squint if I got more than a couple feet away from it). I knew I wanted a TV that was at least 24", but I didn't want to break my wallet on it. I researched different brands and comparison-shopped online with Amazon, Best Buy, Sears, and Target, at long last settling on this Sharp 26" LED TV.

There's just no oomph to it, no fullness, just flat tinny sound. I bought it because Sharp is as close to "Made in America" as you can get and that is important to me. The picture is great, setup was easy and the size is perfect for us. I would recommend this TV to a friend, but only with the warning that they will want to purchase additional speakers for the audio.
