720p, wish it was 1080p

4 Star Review Very good value

Strengths:

Good picture, slim profile, good looks

Weaknesses:

Fast movement (sports) can have a little jarring effect

Posted Nov 14, 2007 - I got this in Sears for a very good price. I have a Sony 60" in my family room and this is for the bedroom. First impressions: the product looks extremely well made. The packaging is first class and the included stand looks sturdy. Assembling the stand was a breeze. I was hoping for a quick start poster but the instructions for assembling the stand were inside the manual. Turning it on, it guided me through a simple setup. I had Comcast cable hooked up directly and it found the un-encrypted QAM channels without a problem and MUCH faster than my Sony. I was prepared to wait for 45 minutes but it took maybe 5-10 minutes. The other good thing Sharp has done is that they searched for Analog AND digital broadcasts and the channels are interleaved. So 25 takes me to Fox SD and 25.1 takes me to Fox HD. Easier for wife than switching to Analog/Digital input. Remote is well laid out and includes all the functions you would expect, including a dedicated Closed Captioning (CC) button. My Sony doesn't come with one. PQ out of the box was very disappointing for someone used to the Sony but switching picture mode to Movie did the trick. The brightness is less (more bedroom friendly) and the digital artifacts are harder to see. I will do a DVE caliberation this weekend. Overall a very good purchase.

3 Star Review Sharp AQUOS LC46D43U

Strengths:

Frame, Picture "dark blacks", Inputs

Weaknesses:

2 HDMI's, Not 1080p, Lighting

Posted Sep 28, 2007 - Costco has had this television for $1,500 since July 2007. The price due to new entries into the market should soon drop, but with the extended warranty this remains a good deal from Costco. The television has a great frame, the shiny black surround, but has the cheap looking silver wave at the bottom. With only two HDMI inputs, I consider this a minus and resolution is only 720p/1080i. As many broadcasts are not 1080p, this is ok, but for the future this isn't up to par. I have noticed on my set that the lighting fades light to dark on occasion, but rarely. This is noticeable and may be limited to only my set. Toying with the settings has not resolved my issue. The TV has multiple inputs to satisfy the audiophile and component wiz in everyone. Having DVI is also a plus. The contrast ratio on this television is 7500:1, which when I purchased this was only advertised as 6000:1. It's a good price a great TV for the money and the brand is a winner.

4 Star Review Sharp Aquos 46" LCD TV

Strengths:

Great set for the price; colors come in crisp and clear in movie mode; the blacks are better than other sets

Weaknesses:

sound is a bit tinny and if there is noise in the room volume needs to be set high

Posted Nov 20, 2007 - First large screen LCD TV. This is a great set and a good value. The colors really stand out in a darkened room. Need to adjust the display to movie mode out of the box. The 768 could be 1080i but the disparity in price was too great for the difference in picture quality that I could see. I'm hoping the sound problem will be solved when I attach an auxilliary sound system

4 Star Review Good TV

Strengths:

automatic brightness control, plenty of inputs (HDMI, too), appearance, easy set up despite difficult to read documentation

Weaknesses:

a little slow to tune in stations when channel surfing, no clock, speakers are so-so

Posted Dec 5, 2007 - I pulled in my local Sears parking lot at 1AM on Black Friday to get their deal on this set and it was definitely worth the hassle. The set was really easy to set up with the onscreen menus, but the user's manual is pretty cumbersome, and there is no quick setup sheet. Over the air HD channels look great and the automatic brightness control works great, too. Some people have complained about the size of the remote (it's pretty big), but it fits your hand pretty good and it's easy to feel out the buttons that you need. Initially, I hated the sound from the speakers, then I wised up and backed the set all the way up to the wall (I'm using the included stand) and it made a dramatic difference in the sound quality. The sound isn't fantastic, but it's good now. I'd go camp out in the parking lot again for this TV, it's worth it.

1 Star Review So disappointed

Strengths:

Good looking piece of furniture

Weaknesses:

Picture quality good only when viewing from about 12 feet away. I don't use the TV sound, I prefer my surround sound system.

Posted 1 year ago - I have had this TV for 6 months and at the moment is waiting to be collected for repair. The picture suddeny went of and so did the sound. The green led power light started to flash. I have looked at other owners comments at various websites and it appears that this is a common problem with the Aquous tv. The only repair method is to have it taken away. One person actually said that Sharp is aware of the situation. UPDATE on previous review..... Same fault occurred. The TV has been collected AGAIN for repair. Now I am told that the INVERTERS need to be replaced!! Apparently Sharp are aware of this recurring fault, so why were the INVERTERS not replaced the first time??

5 Star Review excellent 720P LCD

Strengths:

great picture quality

Weaknesses:

slow in switching channels

Posted Jan 8, 2008 - It was easy to setup the TV. Got great over the air HD reception and the picture quality is fabulous. No need to make any adjustment. The only fault that I can find is that it takes a second to switch from one channel to another channel.

5 Star Review Very Impressive

Strengths:

Vibrant picture quality with excellent looks.

Weaknesses:

Missing wakeup feature. Slow startup and not so good remote.

Posted Dec 6, 2007 - I was a little skeptical when I bought this TV from Sears before black Friday. I was wrong.. As soon as I open the carton I was forced to change my thinking. The setup was simple and easy. Once I hooked up the TV to my cable, without any adjustments we were so impressed with the quality of HD channels. Colors are vibrant and screen is very bright(I have reduced it a little bit after that). The menu is very intuitive and easy to use. I hooked up my spare PC with the TV and I was amazed with the quality and the resolution is very good(though the TV is not a 1080p)and the text is sharp and clear(now browsing a lot on my TV). The digital channels are very crisp. So far everything looks good... right but I have observed the following minor issues also. The initial startup is little slow and channel flipping is a little bit slow as well. The digital channels(HD) does not give the option for zoom but the analog ones has that feature. The remote cover which stores the less commonly used features like setting up favorite channels is very flimsy and if a small kid notices it .. good it will be gone in a day. The main buttons for channel and volume also small(that annoys me). The one I feel missing is wakeup feature. I don't know why they could not add this feature for this excellent tv. Overall I am very impressed and not very much worried about the 1080p hype. Cheers.. and Merry Christmas.

4 Star Review Sharp Aquos 46" LCD

Strengths:

VERY easy to assemble the stand. It is a nice looking TV to have in the room. The color is very nice, as well as the picture. Very easy setup,

Weaknesses:

Stand could look nicer.

Posted Dec 3, 2007 - We got a very good price on this on Black Friday, for our first LCD set. I like the ease in setup and stand assembly. At first we had a sort of blurry picture, until we made a few adjustments, and now the picture is very nice. With the built-in tuner, we can receive both analog and digital broadcasts (network only for digital), with just the regular cable connection. We may upgrade to the HD cable box through Knology later on. Very happy with this television and I would recommend it.

5 Star Review AQUOS LC46D43U 46

Strengths:

Sleek and Clear, very long life, and rich dark color

Weaknesses:

Cheap stand

Posted Dec 3, 2007 - I think this is the best bang for the buck for a 46" lcd to hang on the wall without the stand. Although this is not 1080p, you can't really see the difference with your naked eye. Unless you use it for computer hook up then you might notice the difference. Other then that, everything is great.

5 Star Review Great TV for the price

Strengths:

Great picture quality, very easy to assemble, great look.

Weaknesses:

1080i, basic remote control, missing picture in picture

Posted Nov 26, 2007 - Got it for $940 from Sears, can't complain about the TV for the price I paid. Great picture quality, and it took just 15 mins to take it out from the box and assemble it and ready to go, which i like it very much. I would miss the pip for sure.

4 Star Review Great TV

Strengths:

Great Picture Quality, Inexpensive, Plenty of Connections

Weaknesses:

not a 1080p

Posted Nov 25, 2007 - After debating for a week between this TV and Samsung, I decided to go with this one. I am very happy with my decision because I spent a few hundred dollars less and the quality of the picture is almost the same. My friends were not able to tell if it is a 720p or 1080p because my HD movies look so incredible.
