Sharp LC19SB27UT 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Black by Sharp | Reviews Shopping's Blogs
I bought this 19″ TV to replace an older CRTV I had in my guest bedroom and so far I have been very happy with my purchase. The remote is pretty simple/basic but it gets the job done. The sound and picture quality are good and I like the overall appearance of the TV. I would recommend this TV to others. So, if you are looking for a good deal on a small LCD TV then I would recommend you look at buying this TV.>>>>moreSharp LC19SB27UT 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Black by Sharp | Reviews Shopping's Blogs
