Vincent,
What is the reason that you have excluded the following important information in your review of the SHARP LC42 XD1E
- the descrete ON and OFF remote codes supplied by SHARP does not work on the XD1E series -making the screen more or less useless in a advance home cinima setup
- the RS-232 serial port is not activated on the XD1E series, even the opposite is stated in the manual.
