Duration of ownership:1 Months
Strengths: Vivid HD, when it works, it is awesome
Weaknesses: The tuner keeps shutting down for some reason...sound stays on, but the picture goes blank, and it is happening more and more.
Overall Evaluation: Our 52 inch Aquos appeared to be working very well, however the unit has recently been shutting off and we need to unplug the unit and plug it back in to reset the picture. The Power and OPC LED lights just blink. The on/off buttons simply don't respond. When we contacted Sharp cutomer service, we were told it may be from overheating (which it wasn't) or from an inadequate cable signal (we have Comcast). I figured it may be that, so we waited because I didn't want to have a repairman open up our brand new, 2,500 dollar tv. But it has been happening more and more now, around every 15 minutes,(including watching DVR'd programs which tells me it is not the cable signal) and we are very frustrated. So now I have a tv repairman coming tomorrow and I am staring at a great, black screen.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Good clear picture, deep natural black, vivid sound and easy of operation
Weaknesses: not enough in and outs
Overall Evaluation: The bottom line- this TV set worth each dollar I am sure that nobody will regret for that purchase. The lack of more in and outs will be a serious problem if you don't have AV receiver but actually there are enough connectors for the basic user. Once again don't hesitate.

Strengths: everything
Weaknesses: no computer input but HDMI conversion of DVI does the job just fine
Overall Evaluation: Bought this at Best buy several months ago on a lemon exchange which was a Westinghouse. No bars, no streaks, no runs, no errors, just a great picture and a quality product. Hooked it up with a HDMI/DVI conversion cable and did a full 1080P computer picture without a hitch.

Strengths: big, great picture when it works
Weaknesses: banding, clouding, inoperability
Overall Evaluation: We bought this TV in February. Intermittent problems with banding, freezing, clouding, and programming. We changed the cable box first, but that did not help. Once, it would not even turn off. We are returning this set tomorrow and are trying to decide what to purchase next.

Strengths: Picture
Weaknesses: Casing
Overall Evaluation: I started with a 42" Aquos (780p?) last year, and now have this one for another room this year. It's pretty amazing how the pictures have at the same time that prices have dropped. For the quality + price ratio this TV provides, I'm not sure how much better it can get. Be sure to get a 1080p DVD player (I got the Oppo) to take full advantage (note that you need to configure settings on the DVD player to bump it up to 1080p upscaling!). My only complaint is that I am not at all a fan of the "piano black" casing. Shiny black plastic does not at all fit my decor. I really wish this came in a matte silver (or at least a matte black). And kudos to BuyDig.com. They exceeded whatever expectations I had.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Great screenBeautiful mountinggreat resolution
Weaknesses: can't use as center speakernot enough inputs
Overall Evaluation: I am still bowled over by how this looks, both turned on and turned off. It's just fantasic. The color, picure, etc. are great. None of the infamous "banding" people have goten worked up about. Don't know how good the sound is, particularly, since all my sounds goes out via the home theater system. I wish it had a third HDMI input or an RGB computer input, though.

Strengths: Excellent color, sharp picture, easy to use menu system.
Weaknesses: Banding!!!
Overall Evaluation: Got an excellent price on this TV. Bought it home and set it up. Looked good, actually stunning in HiDef. Second day recognized the dreaded "banding" issue. Tried to get used to it, wash it out with the backlighting and contrast settings, etc. No luck. Store delivered a second one, same thing. The way to see the banding is to freeze the TV picture when you are changing channels before the next channel appears, so that you are looking essentially at a blank screen. You will see the striping of light and dark areas. If you watch a lot of sports, like hockey or golf, where there is a constant color (i.e. white or green) as the backdrop, the banding is very noticable as the camera pans from left to right. As the review on CNET.Com said, once you see it, your eye is drawn to it and it becomes very distracting. Can not get used to it. The store I bought it from had a technician come out to look at it. He said nothing can be done, that's the way the TV is. Store would not discount the price. Back it goes. Shame, because otherwise the picture is phenominal. Next trying the Samsung LN-S5296D. Will post results.

Strengths: Great color and picture.
Weaknesses: No video cables included.
Overall Evaluation: This is my first high definition tv and it is awesome! Even the non high definition channels are good. Sharp has really impressed me with how much detail they put into this television. I would highly recommend it to anyone that is considering a HD tv.
