Amazon.com Product Description
Add brilliantly vivid high-definition programming to your bedroom, office, or other small room in your home with the 20-inch, HD-ready Sharp LC20D30U LCD TV. It features an integrated 180-channel NTSC tuner for standard definition broadcasts and it can display HD programming when connected to a satellite/cable set-top box or optional HD tuner. The LC20D30U can also be used as a PC monitor. It has a contemporary and elegant design with a matte black finish and included table stand that easily removes for wall-mounted applications.

This set features Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) LCD panel technology, which uses an enhanced color filter that permits more light throughput. The screen also offers a low-reflection coating to reduce the effect of sunlight and interior lighting to provide vivid large-screen pictures wherever you install your LCD television.

The LC20D30U delivers a true 1366 x 768-pixel HDTV resolution, and it also features a wide 170-degree viewing angle, 480 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating--perfect for viewing colorful details in even direct sunlight--and 800:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

It has two bottom-mounted stereo speakers that produce 4.2 watts of total audio power (2.1 watts per channel). Other connection options include:

Composite AV (RCA): 2 in
S-Video: 1 in
Component Video: 1 in
HDMI: 1 in
RF: 1 in
PC: 1 analog RGB in

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
