A chance to talk to FlatpanelsHD's reviewers.

Hello,
after reading a lot of reviews especially yours I decided to buy the LE830E. I have callibrated it in movie-mode with your settings. Unfortunately i get this black picture with so much clouding that I can even see it during films. If I reduce the backlight I can reduce a bit of the clouding.
Is that normal? Can I do some picture callibration or should I send it back?

Picture was taken in a nearly dark room.

Sometime the model is named with an extra letter:
For example:
- LC40LE830m
- LC40LE830u
- LC40LE831e

What is the meaning of this last letter? Thanks

Hi,

So the LE830M has few differences with the version you have reviewed, and I think it is targeted for the South East Asia region.

The LED Panel is said to be made in Japan
But the assembling has been done in Malaysia

The LED Panel is shiny and not mat
It comes with 3D and 2pairs of active glasses.
but neither Net+ feature, nor built-in wifi.

I hope the LED panel is the one you have tested, and not the one from the earlier version 820.

Right now, I am trying to make use of the DLNA function

But I am encountering some limitations:

The TV is connected to my home network through wire
I have been using 3 different Media Server:
- iMediaShare (on iPhone3GS/iOS5)
The server could not find the TV / The TV could not find the server
- WindowsMediaPlayer 11 (on Windows7)
From my laptop, I can see the TV getting connected (Through Control Panel > Media streaming option, I can retrieve the MAC address of my TV
From my TV, I am not able to see any content (photo, music or video)
- Vuze (on Window7)
In Vuze, the device is not listed
From my TV, I can see the root directory \Vuze, but without any content.

I have done the same configuration with my PlayStation 3, and everything is working smooth.

Has anybody experiences the same?
Thanks in advance,

Hi All,

Sorry for making this old thread live again :)

I'm planning to buy a new TV for my living room and can't decide what to buy.

Dilemma is between these two TVs:

SHARP LC46LE830E vs LG LA660V

I understand that SHARP is very old model, but it was one of the best at the time.

So my question is: will this SHARP still stand up with good picture quality against modern mid-range LG?

I'm looking for a TV with good picture quality and all those smart features are not a concern to me. As now price is similar for both of them as SHARP gets a big discount as it is old model.

What would you choose good-old performer or shiny modern toy?

Thanks and sorry for my English ;)

Despite it being an older model I would still recommend the Sharp over the LG LA660V, especially if the smart features are irrelevant for you.
