the LG is the cheaper HDTV, but it is also the smaller one; at 37 inches. The Sharp is a 40-inch model, so it provides more screen real estate. However, in other respects, both HDTVs are similar; they are both LCD screens that run at the full 1080p resolution.

Blacks & Whites

the Sharp has the advantages in our tests that look at blacks, but the LG was the brighter screen. But the distance between the blacks and whites on both displays wasn't that different; the Sharp had a slightly wider contrast ratio, but not by that much.

Motion

Neither display produced particularly good motion; both had jerky, glitch motion where the fine details of the image got lost when things moved on the screen. This is no surprise as both screens lack the faster motion processing of their more expensive cousins.

Viewing Effects

Both displays also had poor viewing angles, with the contrast between black and white quickly falling off as you move away from right in front of the display. This is the same on most cheap LCDs, though, so it is no big surprise. But it does mean that neither display would be a good pick for an office display.

Viewing Angle Comparison
Sharp LC-40E67UN Score: 2.21	LG 37LH30 Score: 3.84

Connectivity

Both displays have a decent set of inputs that would allow for connecting a variety of high def devices, such as cable boxes, game consoles, etc without having to swap cables over. Both also include some ports on the side of the case so you can easily connect and disconnect devices such as camcorders or digital cameras.
