A word of warning about this TV: It's NOT made by Sharp. It's actually made by Orion who are a budget TV maker and really low end.
Also, it uses a TNT panel, which are the cheapest panels available. They were only invented because companies needed panels which could be mass produced at as low a cost as possible. These panels suffer from backlight bleed, have awful viewing angles and can't display colours properly.
As far as I'm aware the LCAD5E series and its America equivalents (LC-32SH12U, LC-32AV22U, and LC-32DV22U) are the only 32" TV's Sharp outsource to Orion to make and it really shows. I know they outsource practically all their TV's under 32", but just these ones in the 32" category.
I recommend Sharp TV's as they make some of the best LCD's in the world, but stay well clear of their LCAD5E series. Ask this question at any TV forum and they will tell you the same.
It's not just Sharp who do this though. Samsung, Sony and many others do this aswell. So don't be put off Sharp completely, just don't get this TV.

Once out of the box, the first thing you notice is the style....very nice.
Setting up is very easy, the Sharp LC32AD5E freeview gives a good crisp....and forgive the pun...a sharp image on the screen. With a good DVD player with HDMI will give you a wow factor when you have those nights in to watch a good movie, but to do this you must setup the tv from the menu using the user mode....once you do this the tv looks great. The preset functions are ok but tend to have ghosting when a image is close up and moving on screen.
But and there is always a but.....using sky+(scart)with the tv, it seems to leave ghosting....more so when the setting on the screen is in a dark room and sometimes close up shots like of someones face,it seems that an eye or nose stay in one place even when the head moves.I have found these tend to be more on the recorded shows than from the shows not recorded, I did setup the tv to a SkyHD box(HMDI)and played back the same recorded shows that were on the Sky+ and found that there was some ghosting but not much.....this again was made even less when setting the tv in user mode.The sound is very good in fact it is great and with so many inputs you can use the tv for anything,ie.....a gaming tv (which by the way is very good)...a PC screen, again this is also very good...and last but not least a TV. It takes no time at all to master the controls and you will at first keep tweeking the tv to get it just how you like it and once you have done that it makes you feel like you have a high-end tv.There is a large cable cover at the back of the tv, so when you put all your leads into the tv you just put the cover back and the cables are not in the way or seen.
For the money the LC32AD5E is a good buy,I have not giving the tv a top rating as that would be a lie.....it is a very good tv for the price and makes other 32" TV's that cost the same if not more look and feel cheap. I have been looking for for a new 32" lcd tv for a time now and after a lot of reading,made my mind up this was the tv for me....I could not find any reviews for the LC32AD5E but after reading the tec info,I knew this was the tv for me.
I have had many makes of TV's over the years but never a Sharp TV, I know that my next Tv will be a high-end Sharp,when i can afford it that is. (I just love high tec)

This is the cheapest 32" HD TV I could find on the net so I bought it. I was very pleased with the product when it arrived, though heavy it is very good looking and easy as pie to set up. Quite a bit of fine tuning is needed to get the picture perfect or as near as damn it.
The sound is by far the worst aspect of the television. It suffers from distortion and is of low quality. I would advise getting a sound system for it as I have.
So overall great picture quality but bad sound.
