Rated 100% by by Bo (Jul, 2011)The colors are bright and natural looking and comparing to my existing LED Samsung and Sharp TV's, the picture quality is indistinguishable to my eye.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Sharp AQUOS 830 Series compared to the LG LW5600
“60
LED-backlit
Rated 100% by by InspiredPainter (Aug, 2011)The actual playing of streaming content is great, the USB input to view pictures and play music etc is very handy when you have pictures to show to a group of people.
55”
LED-backlit
Rated 100% by by gber (Mar, 2012)But the standard control settings give more than enough control to produce a pleasing, natural, evenly lit picture.
size
60"
55"
AQUOS 830 Series by BrunoIt is the perfect size using the rule of thumb that you should sit at least two times the size of the screen away from it.
LW5600 by c|net (Jun, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 47-inch 47LW5600, but this review also applies to the other screen size in the series.
thickness
LW5600 by SKRAPPY13 (Feb, 2012)It looks like most TVs out there, the bezel is pretty thin, and what is more amazing is how "Thin" and "light" this tv is... very impressed... over all its a good looking tv.
Performance Real world tests of Sharp AQUOS 830 Series vs LG LW5600
power consumption
AQUOS 830 Series by Vaidy (Sep, 2011)Then on, I set my eyes on LED attracted by their low power consumption (13$/year if used 5 hrs a day all days on this one).
LW5600 by c|net (Jun, 2011)We did not test the power consumption of this size in the LG LW5600 series, but we did test the 47-inch model.
contrast ratio
AQUOS 830 Series by Vaidy (Sep, 2011)The reviews were just okay but the features were awesome (built in wifi, high contrast ratio, quattron etc).
LW5600 by MWT4791 (Jul, 2011)Yes you can use the contrast ratio to make a determination about the clarity and vividness of the picture.
