 Excellent TV/DVD Combo June 21, 2009

I was looking for a replacement tv/dvd combo for our small travel trailer, and being historically a Toshiba TV fan, initially purchased a Toshiba 19LV61k, the latest model in basically the same such combo Toshiba has been producing for a number of years. I took it back immediately - great picture, but tiny speakers with volume so low that you could not hear what people were saying on screen from 3 feet away, even when you had it cranked to the max. Moreover, Toshiba provided no output for an auxiliary speaker system (other than a headphone outlet). After a lot of research, I purchased this Sharp. Unfortunately for me, Amazon did not have it at the time. The current Amazon price of $349.99 with free shipping beats what I paid ABC Warehouse by about twenty bucks (ABC is a great alternative retailer though). In any event, this combo is light as a feather, has a great picture, and ample volume. The model was introduced in January, 2009, and has all the current bells and whistles, including the option of surround sound (toggle it from the audio sub-menu; you will like it) and a coaxial audio output. So far (one month from purchase), we like the combo immensely, and would recommend it. From my research on line and examining different sets at Best Buy and other retail stores, I did not find a better alternative to this tv/dvdcombo in its size range, regardless of cost.
As of April 8, 2010, still going strong and giving good service

Basically, if you want a small LCD TV w/DVD built-in, you can choose from Sharp, Toshiba, LG, and some lesser names and chineese brands. Since I've had good luck with Sharp and bad luck with Toshiba in the past, I waited for this model to become available (all summer). So far I am not dissappointed.
Pros: great picture, you can adjust the brightness, backlight, etc to tweak it to your delight. I like the factory settings so far. - Sound is more than adequate for this size TV - Tuner picked up every available signal with a basic, attic-mounted antennae - DVD player works very nicely - viewing angles better than I expected.
Cons: Non-adjustable base ( I don't care because I have it wall-mounted in a bedroom with a nice tiltable mount) - Remote layout ( It's probably not that bad. I'm just used to Samsung's layout and I guess i'd just have to get used to this one). The actual screen size is less than 22 inches. This TV (HxW) is smaller than my 22" Samsung (kitchen - no DVD) because the bezel is thinner and screen is about 21.5" diagonally. So if you have a tight space, that could be a good thing.
Really, I'm thinking this is the best 22" LCD w/DVD out there. The price is not bad and the picture/sound is as good as it gets in this class TV. A decent, swivel-arm, tiltable, wall-mount can be had for 30 bucks. Bought TV thru Video Audio Center without a hitch.

Originally purchased for my 5th wheel camper,but I don't think it's going to make it out of my bedroom.I set it up just to check it out,and really can't say enough about it.Beautiful picture,sharp,great colors on factory setting.My biggest worry was the sound as flat panels tend to have low volume.Not this one,just fine for my applications i.e. bedroom and camper.sooo... glad I read the reviews between this one and the Toshiba I was going to get.This TV is absolutely awesome!!!
Excellent value for your money. December 5, 2009

I have been without a working television for the last 3 years. When I broke down and decided to buy another set, I took my time and went to all my local outlets - WalMart, Best Buy and Staples and priced sets and learned about key features.
I chose this set for the following: great clear picture quality - at least to my eyes, even more important to me - the audio is surprisingly good - it is loud enough and there are enough choices on your audio menu that you can tailor the sound - I would recommend that you use the surround sound feature, the remote control is adequate and there are outputs for computer and catv built in and it is digital ready.
In addition, this unit came with a DVD player, and the quality of the player is excellent. Overall the LC-22DV27UT is worth the money being charged. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
Are there things I wish it had...yep - 1080 dp. But I am unwilling to pay a considerable amount more for that feature. I also would have preferred a full service espresso bar with a beautiful barista to watch movies with but evidently Sharp has not developed that level of technology or at the very least it is not available to those of us who are not interested in purchasing high dollar home entertainment systems.
There's always hope for the future.

Have loved having this TV as a secondary! Picture is clear and very good quality. DVD play is quick to start up. With an antenna, a lot of digital TV signals come in. Sound is good in the small room we have it in. Very glad I bought it. Worth every bit of nearly $400 I spent!
