HDTV Reviews

Sharp’s 32P70 is an affordable screen that concentrates on enhancing standard-definition performance from more traditional sources but does also support the newer future HDTV formats. It has a 960×540 resolution may appear comparatively low to other HDTV’s but it’s been chosen to perfectly fit PAL video signals used by terrestrial TV and typical DVD players. The LC-32P70E will accept HDTV signals but it will be slightly scalled down.
The subsequent downscaling of HDMI induced images leaves the picture looking soft and unfocussed against a fizzing background. Conversely, if you turn to Scart-connected sources or the integrated analogue and digital tuners, the picture improves dramatically
