Sharp Aquos LC-37D64U would not purchase again
Easy setup. Good picture quality. Nice overall appearance.
3 primary issues: 1. Audio inputs do not work. 2. Channel surfing is painfully slow and 3. Sleep button hidden.
Posted 1 year ago - I bought this because it was the only 37" TV on the market that would fit in my expensive entertainment center. Setup was fast and easy. Within 30 minutes of opening the box, I had it up and running. Picture quality was decent. The remote is just OK. Many of the menu choices are not intuitive however so making changes requires a thorough read of the operating manual. The REALLY annoying thing about it was when my kids wanted to hook up their Wii. I simply could not get the audio to work. All I got was static from the TV speakers. At first I thought it might be a Wii setup issue or a bad cable. But, when I tried hooking up an XBox 360 and a DVD player, I got the same result. Static. And it did not matter whether I went through inputs 1,2 or 3. So, there is either a hardware or software issue with my TV that prevents the audio inputs from working. I tried contracting Sharp via their website and met with immediate frustration. They don't provide info on local service centers. You have to call them to get that information. I called and went through 8 layers of prompts, only to be met with a busy signal. Wound up emailing them and 3 days later have still not gotten a response. So, the TV works OK. And it's a good TV ... but if you need to connect external components directly to the TV without going through an external sound system, you might not get any audio. I suspect this is a manufacturing/quality issue with Sharp Aquos that is not limited to my broken TV. My advice - steer clear of Sharp Aquos if you intend to hook up a gaming system for the kids.
