Sharp32FH8KA 32 inch Full HD Smart LED TV Freeview Play

I needed a new, inexpensive HD television to replace an old one that had broken. I have a technical background, so it falls to me to do things like setting up the television for the best viewing experience which I have a good eye for. I’m happy to do this on a more expensive and advanced tv, but with a cheaper tv, I’d rather it already be set up to plug in and play (which was the case with the old one) because they seldom come with sophisticated enough controls to manually achieve a really good picture.I recently purchased the RCA equivalent to this Sharp tv, plugged it in, saw that the picture was rubbish, so fiddled with it a bit (which I really didn’t want to do), and ended up putting it back in the box, and sending it back to Amazon. With this Sharp tv, I plugged it in, and the picture is absolutely stunning! Requiring no adjustments whatsoever! Also, the sound from this cheap little tv is phenomenal! It even has a two band equaliser that allows you to adjust treble and bass! You just don’t get this on tv’s at this price point.Unfortunately, I cannot speak as to the functionality of any of the smart components as I just needed an HD tv, running 1080p which I have connected to my Sky box, but based on the effort Sharp has put into the picture and sound quality, I imagine the smart components will be absolutely fine.it appears most tv’s are smart these days, so I just randomly picked this one, and hoped that the picture quality would be good, but in fact, it’s exceptional! And the great sound was an unexpected bonus!I highly recommend!!

The picture is crystal clear and the sound is superb too , no need for a soundbar. Setting it up takes time , there is no paper manual . A simple quality telly.

Great smart tv, setting up took a bit of time but at the end everything was good. The picture quality and the sound is ok.The extra buttons on the remote for youtube and netflix was so convenient.The only thing i didnt like was the power button on the tv, it is located on the back on the bottom where you have to stick your finger under the tv to look for it, but once you get used to it then its ok.

Using this mainly for gaming at the moment. It has good picture quality and sounds. One thing to note for anyone using headphones - you need a 3 or 4 pole jack. My old 2 pole didn’t fit properly.

Brought this TV in Sept 2024, have struggled with its slow to start and move through the menus, other wise it picture and sound are reasonably good

We needed to replace the TV in our kitchen and 32" is about the largest size that would suit the space. I discovered that all the really high quality TV's were 42" or larger so it became a question of finding the best 32". I wanted full HD and the available options turned out to be very limited with only 4 choices. I ruled out Samsung having read that they put their own O/S on top of Android TV/Freeview Play and I knew this would annoy me. I found an LG model which had straight forward Android TV but it cost £150 more than this one. I then read that in small TV's HDR can spoil the picture and this Sharp model did not include it so it became not just the best choice but the only choice that ticked all the boxes.Now it has arrived I can report that the picture is excellent and the sound is so-so but as we use an external soundbar this is not an issue.We use a Humax HDR and it is easy to switch between sources - Simple Freeview/Humax/Android TV which I thought might be an issue.So all in all this Sharp TV lives up to all that I wanted.

The media could not be loaded. Operates very slowly at the start and loads slow. Picture was okay for the price… but that not the horrible aspect; it is stuck in a loop when it got updated for no apparent reason and no matter what I do it won’t start up. Bought it in March 2024 and it went kaput in September 2024.

Bought for bedroom. Great size for the bedroom space. Good quality picture and sound. Remote control easy to use. Would recommend.
