8GB that not even 1 full hd 1080p movie u download....
thats lame, and when 1TERA disks costs less then 100$ putting in 8GB is an insult]]>Apr 20th 2010 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/Look how thin it is.]]>Apr 20th 2010 5:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/8 GB is all you need for timeshifting, 2 hours SD or 1 hour HD.

....erm, PAL (UK/AUS/NZ) = 50Hz native. NTSC (USAetc) = 60Hz native refresh rate.

100Hz = double 50
120Hz = double 60]]>Apr 20th 2010 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/
I understand that completely, I just feel the world needs to move forward, the inudustry has dug itself into a massive ditch with framerates and refresh rates.

I probably should have elaborated more.

Until people start standardising and forcing a standard that makes sense for the future, we're going to continue digging into this hole and we're gonna be using pulldown for more.]]>Apr 20th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/
They'd work, it's just older, more illogical refresh rates would have to use pulldown instead.

I think the industry should aim for 240Hz as a standard refresh rate in the near-future.

24, 48 (3D 24fps), 30, 60 will fit 240Hz perfectly and 25/50 will use pulldown.]]>Apr 20th 2010 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/Apr 20th 2010 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/
Sploosh.

To gush about something is to 'rave' about it.

No, Freeview = good! For people who don't want to spend £500 a year on Sky or Virgin Media. And BBC doesn't have ads so I don't really know what you're going on about!]]>Apr 20th 2010 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/Removes the need for satellite.
Ad skipping can be done or left in on any technology, it's the hardware and or software on the receiver end that gets rid of it.]]>Apr 20th 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/Apr 20th 2010 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/-For one, the bezel is totally different (this one looks so much older). In Japan, the controls/sensor are in the middle, and the top-line TV's (LC-60LX1) borders look more like a picture frame than a computer monitor, like this one does.
-the top line in japan is also thicker in depth, but nothing like their thin line (LC-65XS1) which surpasses this one being reviewed.

-and none of them carry an hdd--never mind one as pitiful as 8GB.

I don't know what to say about this TV...does Sharp have different manufacturing plants or something? Are we getting some Chinese outsourced models rather than their cool, stylish, ones?
I feel I'd rather wait and save up until their current Japanese models make their way overseas---IF they even come.]]>Apr 20th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/
If you ask me, though ... their efforts would have been better spent just giving the set LED backlighting (as opposed to being edge-lit). Color performance for LCDs is rarely a problem nowadays anyway, but black performance (for sets that lack full LED backlighting) has always been an issue, and it seems to be the case too with this set.]]>Apr 20th 2010 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/Apr 20th 2010 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/
For buffering, it's fine. But you label it both as a PVR and justifying the price...]]>Apr 20th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/sharps-46-inch-quattron-le821e-hdtv-and-its-integrated-freeview/Apr 20th 2010 1:19PM
