Customer Reviews:
Sound is horrible on this TV!!!.......2007-12-07
I bought this Sharp Aquos and the picture is great BUT I had to turn the volume up all the way to the highest level (60) to make it audible. I will return this TV immediately. One should not have to purchase external speakers to hear a TV at a normal level. I would not under any circumstances suggest any person buy this TV.
Best TV for the Money.......2007-12-02
This is a great TV. I researched all the reviews and found the Sharp to be the best. I have a 32" Aquos also and the picture is incredible. Shop around for the best price before you buy.
buyer's remorse.......2007-11-28
Let me start by saying that I am picky and a bit of a technophile so things that bother me may not bother you. Also, many of my complaints about this TV would be applicable to *any* LCD TV so are not necessarily a problem with this TV vs another LCD. Now that that is out of the way...
I have been waiting to buy a new TV for three years. During this time I researched the technologies (plasma, CRT, rear-projection, LCD, DLP, etc.). I watched the prices fall and the features improve. I visited TV stores and compared pictures. In the meantime, my little CRT TV was getting more and more flakey, but delivered a great picture when it worked (albeit low resolution). I finally decided it was time to get an HDTV. I was wrong - at least for LCD.
I decided some time ago that LCD was the only technology I would buy due to its longer life and lack of burn-in (my kids play video games). Of course the big knocks against LCD are viewing angle and contrast. When I saw that Sharp had 'dynamic' contrast that adjusted to room light and scene brightness, I thought I would take the plunge. However, I found both these features too obtrusive and unfortunately, you cannot turn the dynamic contrast off. What is odd is that rather than settling in on a backlight level, it seems to wander around for second or two with every scene change, even if it eventually settles back where it was. I found this constant pumping of brightness to be very annoying. I also found that even with the adjustable backlight, shadow detail was awful. I was expecting this, but I did not realize how much 'normal' program material this affects - even noticeable on commercials - not to mention large portions of many movies. I admit that the TV was not prefectly calibrated, but it was adjusted by eye using several different types of program material and comparing it against my DLP projector and my CRT television. Out of the box, the unit is adjusted to turn everything white or black. Luckily the unit can be adjusted to look much better, but still with the weaknesses mentioned above.
Finally, the viewing angle is a problem. Side to side it is actually pretty good, probably over 100 degrees. Vertically, however, the change in contrast is quite noticeable when moving from a sitting to a standing position from about six feet away.
The other features of the unit seem comparable to other digital TVs. I have not mentioned the HDTV aspect but the picture for things like sports or any well-lit HD scene is outstanding. My old CRT cannot compare there, despite its advantages in other areas. I receive my HD signals over the air (which is the only way to get *real* HD) and boy does it look good. The one area they really blew it was the setting of 'favorite' channels. Setting these channels (or more correctly avoiding all the useless ones in between the ones you want) is VERY tedious. I used another receiver that let you simply delete unwanted channels. Then you could use to channel clicker to quickly scan through the remaining ones. Not practical for 200 cable channels I suppose, but it worked for me. The Sharp wants you to select a channel you want, then go into the favorites menu, then choose one of 4 groups of 4 to store it in. Then good luck remembering which group it is in...
There are technologies on the horizon that will reduce these picture quality problems I am complaining about (LED backlight for instance), but they are a ways off. I am tempted to send this unit back and wait another year, but I don't know if my old TV will hold out that long.
