All around great product!! 
2008-01-02
We mounted our TV under the cabinet in our kitchen with the included flip-up mount bracket. Hooked it up to cable, hid all the wires in the handy mounting bracket designed to hide the wires and it's just the greatest kitchen gadget! Everyone who sees it asks where we got it because they all love it. The white finish goes great with our kitchen decor! If you can still find one, grab it because they aren't that easy to find these days!

You Won't Find Better 13" LCD 2004-04-18
We were looking for an under-cabinet TV for a new kitchen project. We couldn't have found a better choice than Sharp's 13" Aquos.
The white model worked best with our kitchen decor (other choices are silver and black).
The Aquos is incredibly well-designed. You can set it on a surface with the default stand, or mount it to hang under a cabinet with the included mounting kit.
Installation was a little tricky. I really wanted to hide all of the wires and TV cable up under the cabinet. The under-mount includes a stylish, color-coordinated box for this purpose, but getting all of the wires inside was a bit of a challenge. I ultimately made a trip to the hardware store for longer bolts as those included were about 1/2" shorter than needed for the thickness of our counters.
With this small hurdle cleared, I was able to under-mount the Aquos, and then really began to appreciate the design. Wires and cable are completely hidden. The TV cable and electric input flows down through the inside of the swing arm to the back of the TV. The rear of the the Aquos has inputs anything you could connect to a full-sized TV. A snap-on panel reveals the inputs and hides them once you've attached whatever wires you need to connect.
With setup done, sit back and enjoy the Aquos' crisp LCD picture and clear sound. The stylish Aquos is a joy to behold, and quickly becomes the centerpiece of your kitchen.
The Aquos is not just beautiful; it's a perfect marriage of form and function. The LCD rotates 180 degrees left to right, and the swing arm folds up to stash the unit under the cabinet, thus freeing up a little extra cabinet space. I never fold it up, however. It just looks so gorgeous hanging in its normal spot. A stylish remote is included.
Even customer service is great. I had an issue that I couldn't find in the manual (I accidentally reset the audio to receive the Spanish language translation on some channels). I left an e-mail with customer service, but didn't really expect much help. To my surprise I had an e-mail within two hours that solved the problem.
Bravo, Aquos!
Great anyplace you don't have a lot of room 2004-04-17
This is a fantastic TV! I was a little unsure whether an LCD TV would be OK in a room that gets a lot of sun, but I am most impressed by the brightness of the picture. The colors are vibrant, and the clarity of the picture is amazing. I mounted it to the wall with a Sanus VM2 wall mount, which it allows you to swing out and tilt the TV when you are watching it and push it back flat against the wall when you aren't. It looks fantastic in my kitchen and is very unobtrusive and attractive when laying flat against the wall. I am delighted with this purchase, and found the 13" was plenty big enough for viewing in the kitchen.
Perfect for Kitchen 2003-08-08
Ideal kitchen counter size, vibrant display color, sharp picture quality and easy set-up characterize the Sharp LC-13E1U Aquous. I debated 13" vs. 15" and am very happy with the stylish 13". Sound quality is exceptional. Recommend highly.
Twice the picture size in half the counter space! 2003-06-13
The AQUOS LC-13E1U with built-in cable TV tuner is less than 3" deep with an elegant design and screen that measures 13" diagonally. And with Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View LCD panel, it has a higher contrast ratio and wider viewing angles than conventional LCD TVs, making it truly "TV where you want it", for any room in the house!13" ASV (Advanced Super View) LCD Panel (diagonally measured) is Sharp's proprietary panel with Black TFT low reflection coating. Built-in 181-Channel Tuner allows you to plug your cable TV line right into the TV and start watching. AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions are the brightest available, so you can put them anywhere - even near windows, doors or other light sources - and their picture will still be vivid. Image Inverter for Custom Installations allows you to invert the image upside-down or "mirror" image if you need to hang it in an unconventional manner.
Superb 13" LCD television 2003-04-28
I purchased this flat panel television in February, 2003 and have been enjoying it immensely for about two months now. I have it connected to regular (non-digital) cable service. First, the picture is vibrant, sharp, and crystal-clear. The picture "pops-out" at you. In fact, the picutre is better than my primary television (Sony Wega 32" Trinitron XBR). The factory pre-settings needed absolutely no adjustment: color, hue, contract, brightness, and sharpness were 100% perfect. I purchased a pivoting, swivel mount arm ... to go with this set. Installation was pretty simple (but it does require stud mounting). As with all flat panels, it needs to be watched from fairly front-on. The sound is quite good, with excellent stereo separation, for such tiny speakers. Logical remote control. A nice feature: when you press the "MUTE" button, the sound goes off (immediately) and the Closed Captioning activates in about 10 seconds -- great for taking a phone call. This would be an excellent choice for a kitchen or bedroom where you would view it from 3 - 8 feet.
