  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:8 Days

  Strengths: Picture quality

  Weaknesses: I can't think of any.

  Overall Evaluation: I read reviews like those found here about this tv and a hand full of others, Sony, Panasonic, Samsung. I read experts reviews next and settled on the Sharp. It arrived with the power supply defective, dissapointing but Sharp stepped right up and replaced it immediately through a local factory service tech. I am extraordinarily impressed with this tv. I am not a tekkie when it comes to consumer electronics but I can and did comparison shop both on line and in the local stores to see up close and personal and in my opinion Sharp really nailed it. I also read in quite a number of reviews that people were delighted with their purchase of the Oppo 970 DVD player so I ordered one of those for $150 through Amazon. It plays DVDs in just about every format, CDs in just about every format and the experts reviews consistently rate it above almost every player in the $1000+ range. It only handles one DVD or CD at a time but the quality is astonishing. Read more about this unit before you buy!

  Strengths: Excellent image. Easy setup. 5.1 audio decoding and interface. Multiple HDMI inputs. Dynamic room lighting compensation.

  Weaknesses: No CableCard capability.

  Overall Evaluation: This Sharp AQUOS HDTV is impressive for the cost. It has the best image among all the HDTVs that I have seen. The setup is automatic and from out of the box to a excellent display of HD programs within 30 minutes. The style and color of this television allows it to sit on any surface and look great. I have it on top of a base cabinet right out of the box and required minimal cables that are nicely dressed out of the way. There are plenty of manual setting to replace the automatic ones to make this HDTV customized for almost any situation. This Sharp AQUOS has shown me that the LCD technology has the upper hand on the other HDTV technologies being offered.

  Strengths: Picture clarity is phenomenal, menus are easy to use.

  Weaknesses: None noted.

  Overall Evaluation: The reviews below do a teriffic job of pointing out the technical strengths of this TV. For you non-techies (like me), know that there is nothing to fear in the set-up process - - it was a no-brainer. The TV's adjustment menus are straightforward and easy to use. The picture clarity and the brightness are the best I've seen on any HD-LCD set. I disagree with the negative comments of some others regarding viewing angles; I find the picture to be clear, bright and undistorted to nearly 180 degrees. I'm delighted with this purchase, no regrets.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Crisp picture and colors, classy looking.

  Weaknesses: Viewing angle not as advertized.

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this set to replace my gigantic Sony 32" WEGA HDTV and I wanted a set that would occupy about the same footprint without busting my budget. I read all the reviews and went to the stores to look at the set and was sold on the Sharp. Set up was a breeze and the parameters are easily adjustable through the on screen menus. I like everything about it, except that the sweet spot for the optimum picture seems to be only about 90 degrees, not the 176 advertized. However, since the unit sits in the corner of my den, this is not a major problem.

  Strengths: Fantastic picture quality of both high definition and standard definition TV as well as DVDs using a good upconverting DVD player

  Weaknesses: Needs inputs of high signal strength, or your picture quality will suffer badly. Cost is higher than most other sets, but you truly get what you pay for with this TV.

  Overall Evaluation: This is my first HD TV and also my first LCD TV. I spent a lot of time researching on avsforum.com and bought this set sight unseen based on numerous positive comments. I first hooked up my digital cable and the picture quality (PQ) was terrible. I soon discovered that my numerous splitters had degraded the signal strength below what this TV needed to display good PQ, even though it was fine for my old Sony CRT TV. Running a line direct from the cable entry into the house solved the problem and the PQ is now great, even though my cable company only transmits standard definition (SD) broadcasts. From my digital cable box, the SD PQ is nearly equal to my Sony CRT PQ - which is a high complement for any HDTV. Next, I installed a mast mounted amplifier on my roof antenna and was able to pull in all the Philadelphia over-the-air HDTV broadcasts from 35 miles away. The PQ of HD broadcasts is amazing! You will not want to watch a SD set after seeing how good HDTV looks. I then bought the highly recommended OPPO 971H upconverting DVD player and my regular DVDs almost look as good as HD. I don't know if the quality is due to the DVD player or the TV, but the combination produces great PQ. I have not yet hooked up my computer, but many buy this set for its ability to map the exact image on screen [1 to 1 pixel mapping]. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I'll wrap up by adding that I have seen none of the "backlight bleed" or side angle viewing problems that some have mentioned. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would have bought a second set for the bedroom if my wife had not vetoed the purchase.

  Strengths: This picture is phenomenal. What an upgrade in terms of contrast and clarity. I expect this picture quality to hold up against the ever-improving technology inovations for a long time.

  Weaknesses: The stereo sound is just okay, but the good news is the speakers are detachable, so the tv takes up less space. I have the system hooked up to my surround sound system and it sounds great.

  Overall Evaluation: I checked out a lot of lcd tv's before buying the Sharp. I wanted a smaller screen to match my viewing distance and this is clearly the best picture around in a 37" size. The 1080p resolution is a definite upgrade and worth the extra $600 I paid.

  Strengths: Picture quality, 1080p, aesthetics, detachable speakers

  Weaknesses: viewing angle

  Overall Evaluation: I have had this for a week now. Great picture quality - both SD and HD. 1080p does provide a lot of future proofing. The aesthetics are awesome as well. The big weakness is definitely the limited viewing angle - the image appears a bit washed up at more than 45 degrees. That apart, it is definitely offers the best price/value/quality solution.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: 2 HDMIs and 1 DVI with 1080P

  Weaknesses: Only 1 compent input and its 1080i.

  Overall Evaluation: I am completely happy with this TV. I have this hooked up to my PC using 2 Geforce 6800GTs in SLI mode. MAME and all my other emulators look fantasic. Newer 3D games look just as good or better than a X-Box 360. Play back with WinDVD looks great as well.

  Strengths: Excellent HD picture quality. Very good attached / detached speaker.

  Weaknesses: Took a little time to adjust skin color and decrease the color. No Optical audio outputs

  Overall Evaluation: Hooked up and turn on and enjoy true 1080i right away. I can't wait to hook this TV up with the Sony Play Station 3 when it becomes available. I bet it will be great with 6ms response time and my home theater sound system ;-)
