Summary: The Gift that keeps giving. Beautifully
Comment: I've had this television since November of last year and I can honestly say it's the best investment for anyone who is looking for a Hi-Def tv and doesn't know where to start. I'm going to break down the unit so novice buyers can be aware of what to expect from this television
Panel (Television or Display):
This is the bread and butter of this unit. Before you turn it on you will marvel at the unit's ultra slim design and the piano black finish. A glorious picture quality with blacks levels that rival the most expensive units. The vibrant colors jump and the details are nothing short of amazing. I'd also recommend using a Home Theater calibration disc to get the best picture that suits you. If you are viewing this in SD then you are doing this unit and yourself a dis-service. This unit begs to be hooked up to a high definition source. Any gaming system, Blu-Ray, HD Satellite or HD Cable. Make an investment and you'll understand then. Oh yes replace the remote ASAP. As a side note, I've had HD Cable and HD Satellite. The banding issues do exist but are so minute that it really wasn't a drawback. It also seem less apparent on the HD Satellite then the HD Cable this was using the same HDMI port and cable, while watching the same programs.
Speakers:
The speakers on this television are just plan weak. But given the size of the unit what can you expect. I'd highly recommend to anyone if you feasible then by all means bypass the speakers and get yourself a surround sound system.

After all is said and done this is the unit to beat for 1080p LCD's.

Summary: Awesome at first, but then....
Comment: I loved my 46" Aquos LC45D6xU. Doesn't matter when the TOSLINK audio out stopped working a month after I set it up. Sound is still decent even without digital out. Piano black case enhances the crisp viewing pleasure.

But be warned! Buy the extended warranty! Mine broke for no apparent reason less than 2 years from purchase (my kids were just watching their cartoons, then it blanked out). And since it's over the standard 1 year parts and labor, Sharp will do little to alleviate the upcoming repair costs.

Google this: power and opc lights blinking. Apparently, this is the more common 'error code' prevalent on this unit, after the problem shows (no display suddenly). It may require 2 boards to be replaced, to the tune of upwards of $600 (just for parts). Most complaints I've seen tells of lemon tvs. Those which are defective within the first few days or weeks of operation. But as I said, mine broke down before 2 years. I thought such "quality" tv would last longer than the repayment period (24 months 0% financing at BestBuy) I've bought it with. Never did I expect it to break down so SOON, so unreasonably random.

Picture quality? very nice. Reliability? I don't think so. Sharp assistance? mediocre at best.

Think you don't need that $300 - $500 EXTENDED WARRANTY? THINK AGAIN!

Hey but that's just me. Good luck and hope your unit won't show its hidden ailments after the warranty expires. Or rather, break down while still under warranty.

Summary: Great Wedding Gift
Comment: Tech For Less processed my order, packed it well and ship it within a few days. Fast Service! The delivery service they use for transportation was excellent. The operators setup everything and made sure the TV was working properly. The way an order should go.

The only problem; was the approval of my credit card with Amazon and notifying the bank for a large purchase. Vincent Kirk, Amazon.com Customer Service, should receive special recognition for the impressive way he explained, handled, followed through and expedited this purchase.

Many thanks,
Benita Pagoria

Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: I am very pleased with this purchase. I researched online and checked out a lot of LCDs and Plasmas in stores. After checking out the Sharp productc - which I was not anticipating buying - I was impressed at the images and response time. And, for the price, this was the most bang for the buck.

I highly recommend this television as well as the newer versions of this model.

Summary: Great purchase, beats the Samsung LNT4665F hands down.
Comment: I purchased this HDTV two weeks ago, and I have to say that I love it. The colors are brilliant, and the blacks are truly spectacular. Even standard definition TV on this set is not bad at all, the onboard processors do a nice job at cleaning up the picture. I was going to purchase the Samsung LNT4665F, but after viewing it side by side with the Sharp in BestBuy I noticed a definite difference between the two in the blacks, and in sun glare (they were both calibrated and settings were very similar). The only thing that I would say is that the TV needs to be tweaked to get the best picture, so do not expect perfection out of the box. But after about 30 min of fiddling with settings, I was VERY happy with the result and can not believe what a great picture it has. And if you are going to connect a computer to this with a decent video card, get ready to be truly amazed. Oh, and make sure that you have someone to help put it together, it makes it a lot easier on the back. Purchase this with confidence, it is a truly amazing set, and try to get it through Butteryfly Photo (the Amazon seller) as they have outstanding service and they "double boxed" the order (very secure shipping). I purchased it through Amazon as I wanted them backing me up on the purchase, but either way should be fine.

Pros:
Picture quality
Sound (not bad!)
Cabinet appearance
Ease of set-up
Menus
USB port
Computer ports

Cons:
The remote volume buttons and other function buttons are a bit hard to use, and the remote is rather large. Other than that, nothing!

Bottom Line:
Get this set, you will not regret it!
