Customer Reviews

Great TV
For the money, let me just say, this is an amazing TV. The picture quality is fantastic. Color and contrast look great. The sound is pretty good too.

Channel-changing speed, a fingerprint-prone bezel, and a weak tuner are pretty ridiculous "cons" if you ask me. Personally, I didn't even notice the delay. And at most, it's still only a minor inconvenience. To the second con, the majority of HDTV bezels out there are shiny and it's not like you should need to touch the TV that often anyway. I think this model actually has one of the nicest looking bezels on the market with a champagne gradient finish on its lower portion. Tuner quality really shouldn't be a deciding factor when purchasing an HDTV, and surely not a dealbreaker. In my opinion, that's really letting a somewhat outdated technology determine a newer technology purchase. With a majority of people getting their signals from either cable or satellite, tuner quality is sort of non-issue.

Screen glare. Not an issue.

I bought this TV for HDMI content from both my computer and XBOX, as well as for HD programming. The 1080p and 120hz definitely deliver. FYI, I work with professional editors in my line of work. At one of the editing houses I commented how I had just gotten the newer version of one of their TVs. They told me that for their screens, they always go with Sharp because of the quality for the money.

Great picture quality
I am by no means a tech wiz so I will not get into the technical aspects of the product. Our TV is connected via Satellite HD box.

The picture quality of the TV is amazing. The colors are very natural. I did not have to tweak the picture quality setting. The factory default setting was great. The menu is very intuitive. I was able to play around with color and sound setting without reading the manual.

We did not find the screen to be very reflective. It is matte finish and does not reflect light. We have two table lamps sitting diagonally to the TV. Bezel is little shiny though that is true for Sony and Samsung as well.

Sound quality is good for regular watching. We did not use the inbuilt tuner of the TV hence cannot comment on its usefulness.

In all for the price, features, and picture quality the TV is a great value for money. Sony and Samsungs with same features and comparable picture quality are at least 20-25% more expensive.

Great LCD
I've been waiting for the new sharp 1080p 120hz model to come out and when it did Amazon has a great price for it. I have another Sharpe LCD TV (37") and they both work and look great. The picture is great though I don't think I can tell the difference of 120 hz because I didn't have a complaint on my non-120 hz TV. The unit is self is slick and like the manufacturer - Sharp! The menu is easy to navigate.

When I ran my calibration DVD on this TV, I found most of the settings were all ready right on out of the box. This unit has more HDMI ports and also has a port for your computer, both were important to me.

One of the best part about buying this TV is my experience with Amazon. It was easy. Amazon also allows you to choose a 4 hour window on line for delivery. The delivery people came on time and were super courteous. The shipping box was in great condition, without dents. They unpacked the TV and all the accessory parts for me to inspect - everything was pristine - before they left. They also offered to help me move my old TV and bring my new TV upstairs (I declined). I couldn't be more happier with my purchase
