Introduction
The Sharp LC-40LE810UN is a 40-inch, 1080p, LCD TV with a zany twist: yellow pixels. But do they actually improve color performance? Its energy-efficient LED-edgelighting and unique design may attract those seeking a large screen with a small price tag.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the Sharp LC-40LE810UN. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the LC-xxLE810UN series. The LC-xxLE810UN series includes the following models: LC-40LE810UN, LC-46LE810UN, LC-52LE810UN and LC-60LE810UN. Read here for more details on series differences.
