Sharp LC19SB27UT – The Most Suitable For Compact Spaces

My father was recently hospitalized and is now spending much more time in bed than before. Moving the large TV into his bedroom was not an option, so I purchased this from a local retailer. The following notes are after a couple of days usage.

Pros: this is a very compact unit and is not too heavy. It fits on a hospital bed table (like this one: Hospital Overbed/Over Bed Top Table Computer Tray ). This allows his caregivers to move the Sharp LC19SB27UT to easy viewing distance and is a real plus. I was concerned that the unit would be unbalanced, but the weighted base is more stable than I originally imagined. Seems to take a long time during the initial setup to find all the channels on cable systems, although I have not done this quite often with another TV to rate. Finally, the basic controls are on the left side of the unit, and the LC19SB27UT can be operated without the remote.

Cons: The remote is not designed for use by an older person with declining eyesight. The controls on the side have no contrasting labels, only labels molded into the black plastic, and unless you have good lighting, it is difficult to use them. In my fathers case, the caregivers will probably be the only ones who can operate the LC19SB27UT 19-Inch.

One additional point, which makes me love. The plug two-branches have been polarized, which can work well using a very old electrical wiring. A three-pronged plug would make it difficult for me.

In our case, I placed the unit near the riser for the over bed table. This left a lot of space for other things if needed.

For those of you who want a decent quality of this TV is perfect especially with a small footprint TV.
