Sharp will replace models with 24 or more dead pixels. It is quite bulky for an LCD, weighing nearly 12kg including stand. This does not include the power supply, which is separate. This is not enough to avoid areas of the screen dimming with small head movements, which is annoying in a monitor of this size. The filtering algorithm used to improve picture quality at non-native resolutions is effective and supports most settings except for 1152x864 pixels.
Users can adjust the level of filtering applied or disable it entirely if they prefer.
Sharp's experience in LCD manufacturing shows in this monitor. The clarity of the screen and accuracy of the signal lock outweigh irritations such as the poor menu interface and minor shadowing. If it were not for the limitations of the vertical viewing angle it would be easy to recommend. The LL-T181A is an 18.1in TFT screen. It provides a high-quality image and little user intervention is required.
