User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star NO SOUND
I was so excited to get my new TV. Had everything setup. Set the TV to scan for all available channels. The process of removing channels was horrible. Unlike Sony where you just click add/delete in this Sharp TV you have to go through the menu and delete each channel. Hate it. Then I get to a few channels where I can see the picture perfectly, but I can’t hear anything. That’s strange because all the other brand TV at home can get those channels with sound perfectly even Vizio the brand I hate with its poor quality picture and a control that only works if you angle it towards the far right. What gives. Sharp is suppose to be a better brand. They need to work on their digital tuner especially the sound. I contact Sharp but have not heard back from them yet.

5 Stars Excellent Product!
I am very pleased with this new TV in all respects, and would buy it again.

1 Star Next to my Toshiba Regza this thing is a dog
I purchased the combo package from Dell with the blue ray and this unit for 1599 shipped. Seemed like a good deal and I could not find another 52″ toshiba regza (and was worried about remote conflicts) so I decided to try this out based on the excellent reviews.

Once installed there is no comparison, the Toshiba looks 10x better. Everyone who sees them side by side remarks about it. Contemplating returning to find another toshiba.

Save your money and avoid this thing.

5 Stars A Sharp Product
I would like to state that this LCD is awesome. The brand really lives up to its name. The product is Sharp. This my first over 40″ TV and all the features are fantastic. I would recommend this product to anyone. I enjoy watching movies (blue ray movies are remarkably clear)video games are also outstanding. This product is a 10+. I definitely made a good decision in purchasing this product.

5 Stars Absolutely Amazing TV!
We’d shopped for a few months for a 50-52″ HDTV and finally settled on the Aquos. This is THE TV. It arrived exactly when Amazon said it would, setup service was great, and I was watching movies and playing Xbox within minutes. The picture is incredible. Weeks after we recevied it, we’re still commenting every day about how amazing the picture looks. The sound really isn’t bad either, although I’ll probably connect a speaker system to it in the near future. I went to Circuit City’s closeout sale, and couldn’t get a comparable TV for anywhere CLOSE to the price you can get this one here–take the plunge…it’s WELL worth it!
