4. 6ms Response Time

Editorial Review :

Once again, Sharp, the leader in LCD technology, has established a new design standard for LCD TVs. The new LC37D64U AQUOS raises the bar by fitting a large screen size into a incredibly small footprint. By changing the layout of circuits inside the LCD panel and by cutting the number of parts, Sharp's engineers were able to reduce the depth by 30%, allowing placement of the LC37D64U model in virtually any type setting. The LC37D64U utilizes Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 6ms response time. The LC37D64U is a HDTV with built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC tuners and include 2 HDMI inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs. Side terminals are included for convenience as well as RS-232C input for control. The LC37D64U features a sleek piano black cabinet with subtle, recessed bottom-mounted speakers. Features: 1) Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) Resolution for the sharpest picture possible. 2) 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 6ms response time produce spectacular picture quality. 3) Two HDMI Inputs and dual component for the ultimate in terminal flexibility. All inputs are compatible with 1080p sources. 4) Wide Viewing Angles (176°H x 176°W) Sharp's AQUOS viewing angles are so wide, you can view the TV clearly from practically anywhere in the room. 5) Enhanced Black Level provides the deepest, most accurate black of any flat panel TV. 6) High Brightness (450 cd/m2) AQUOS LCD Televisions are very bright. You can put them virtually anywhere – even near windows, doors or other light sources – and the picture is still vivid. 7) Built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC Tuners provide access to DTV and analog TV channels. 8) AQUOS engine with ASV technology provides high performance video processing for the brightest, most vivid colors and images.

Great Picture, but an input is cutting out every now and then with my xbox 360

We love this TV for the most part, the picture is excellent. There is one problem we are still trying to work out with it. I have my xbox 360 connected to the tv using component (rgb) and have noticed that the tv will cut out to a black screen in the middle of playing a game for about 1 second and then come back with the info box in the corner as if the input got unplugged and plugged back in. I've tried using the component connections on the side of the tv, but the problem persists. I have also tried a different cable all together with no luck. I called sharp about the issue and they suggested updating the software, but the software they had available for download was an older version than the one already on the tv. So far I haven't noticed the problem with any other source. I am fairly certain that it is not my Xbox 360, because I do not have this issue with any other tv that I hook it up to with the same configuration. I plan on contacting Sharp again to see if they can come up with a solution.

Sharp 37" Aquos 1080P television.

The Sharp 37" Aquos 1080p has a great picture. The sound quality of this 37 inch tv is not that good. Rather tinny with little base. The picture quality is great at 1080p. The remote is a bit complicated so I use the Comcast remote and it has worked out fine. I bought this set due to the size limits of my tv cabinet. Most 37" sets are wider than the 36" opening of my cabinet. This Sharp is only 35.5" wide. Just fits in. I believe that this set has been discontinued but I would recommend it to anyone who may find one for sale out there.

Good LCD

Bought this HDTV a year ago. Needed a tv that would fit within the TV cabinet, and this was the largest one, with the smallest edge around the screen. It fits nicely within the cabinet. I didn't know if it would be large enough for my living room, but actually it's a very nice size. I'm not sure if I would want a larger one.

Resolution and colors are nice

Everything I expected

Finally the wife agreed to replace the CRT TV! My only constraint was that the new TV had to fit into the present cabinet (The new set had to be less than 25 inches tall). I was leaning toward the Sharp anyway, I liked its picture quality in the store, and the frame around the actual screen was smaller than most. The 37 inch set was just the correct height. I also wanted 1080p so the TV could support future upgrades, and QAM, so we could watch non premium digital cable. The only assembly required was installing the base, and an allen wrench was thoughtfully included. The manual was clear, and channel setup was straight forward. The picture quality is remarkable, especially when switching between the analog and digital signal of the same TV station. The TV is a little slow changing channels, but only compared to the old CRT set. Sound is good too. My only regret is not buying a larger cabinet for the old TV ...

Outstanding TV, outstanding dealer.

The Sharp Aquos LC37D64U exceeds all of my expectations in picture, sound and price. The unit was shipped immediately from Electronic Express upon ordering and arrived promptly at my house via FedEx. Even the FedEx driver was impressed with the speed of shipment and perfect condition of the box. In a nutshell, the hi-def picture - from over-the-air broadcasts to DVDs is jaw-droppingly good. As far as I'm concerned, it has been a very long time since either an electronic device OR an online retailer lived up to the hype but in this case Sharp, Electronic Express and Amazon have truly delivered the goods. Highest recommendations to all.

Great TV

I was a little uneasy buying such an expensive product online, but I love this TV, and with a good calibration setting, it's excellent. I went with the 4ms refresh rate because my husband and I play a lot of video games. If you buy this in stores, you will pay double the price!

Great TV

Awesome TV for the money at the time I bought it! Had it well over a year now and it's been great! Sound and picture quality are superb. Styling is nice which sets it apart from the other brands. Set-up was a breeze too! I cannot complain about this Aquos in any way! I Look forward to having it for years to come!

Don't try firmware update!!

I have a Sharp TV(LC-42D64U). I bought it in Sept 2007. I have used the TV for about 2years. I recently downloaded firmware update(d64ua120.uvp) for my TV from sharp website. First, I formatted my thumb drive to FAT. Then I moved the new firmware file to my thumb drive. Finally, I put my thumb drive into my TV and attempted to update new firmware. I also followed all the necessary steps such as selecting update from the main menu, etc. But when around 12% of firmware update was completed, I got a message saying that the updating process has been failed. I tried it again and again but the same message popped up every time. I turned my TV off and then turned it back on. I called Sharp customer service but they couldn't fix the problem. Now my TV won't even turn on. It's just black--just the green power light and green OPC light blink alternatively. Finally, I had to take the TV to a Sharp recommended repair shop only to find out that the main board has been "wiped out" and that I would need to replace the board. It'll be $605.00(included labor charge) + tax to fix it. OMG!! I can't believe it. I just tried to update the new firmware!! I've updated new firmware before without any issues. I did not do anything differently this time. I don't get it!! I don't like Sharp TV!!! Don't try firmware update!!!

Good quality for the Price

We purchased this until for our family room. Excellent picture. Sharp provides an extended warranty. An initial problem required an onsite service call which was handled very well at no charge. Turns out that the TV can be set internally for use in a hotel room, store display, or a home. Mine was set on "store." Help agent couldn't figure out the problem. The service person who came got it straightened out.

The delivery was handled very well. The delivery person helped to set it up (really does require two people). Do not try to set this tv up by yourself. The controls are easy enough to use; high def sports programs are unbelievable. Paid just over $1,000 for the unit -- a good buy.

Great for all my display needs.

I bought this baby after my Samsung broke down after a year, unfortunately out of warranty (Should've got the extended warranty. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.)

First I should say that I don't use this tv for the analog tuner or even watching cable tv, as I do not have a cable box or an antenna hooked up, nor desire to. What I do use this for is displaying all sorts of content from browsing the web, to deathmatch games directly from my pc's video card (via dvi to hdmi cable) and gaming via my xbox.

Let me say that if you're a serious gamer longing for the lag-free response time that you'd get from a crt, only on a large, high def screen, then you need not look any further. This TV has a game mode that's actually useful. My mouse cursor doesn't lag, and timing sensitive games play just like on a crt. All but the most seriously competitive twitch gamer would be quite satisfied with this tv. It has a maximum refresh rate of 60hz so it's not as silky smooth as some of the faster crt's, but it's quite satisfactory for me, especially considering the other lcd offerings out there.

If you're using this as a pc monitor it's also great, just make sure you hook it up through a digital connection, it supports just about any resolution I could throw at it. And just press the "view mode" button on the remote to get the full resolution of your video device without any overscan, it makes for very sharp, readable text (especially at 1920 by 1080).

As for image quality, it's top notch with only very very minor flaws. It should satisfy all but the nuttiest of image quality enthusiasts. Bright sharp screen, great colors, good viewing angle. As for the flaws, you really have to be paying attention to notice them. I suppose the most noticeable one is that on the left and right sides of the panel, the display is a bit darker, it's just on the very edge, so you won't be looking there most of the time, therefore, not that big a deal. As for the banding issue, it's there, but it's a very subtle effect, and it's noticeable on some content more than others and doesn't detract from my enjoyment significantly. There's also a very subtle issue that I suppose is only really noticeable when you're relatively close to the screen, i'm not sure if it's the way the pixels are arranged on the panel, or the way the panel processes images, but it manifests as being perceived as an uneven arrangement of pixels, most noticeable on high contrast areas along straight lines. The viewing angles are great, but not as great as on my samsung, but the vast majority of the time this is not noticeable.

I suppose if whether or not you choose this tv it depends on your priorities, if you're more of an image quality nut, then you might want to see samsung's or sony's offerings. If you're more of a gamer, I'd definately recommend this tv over anything else out there.

So in short, it's great for all my needs. Your mileage may vary.

Good TV, But I wish I knew more before I bought it.

First off the transaction was almost perfect. Had a scare when the TV didn't show up on time, but that was due to a major T-Storm moving through the area.

TV was easy to install, lighter (weight) than I thought it would be, worked great right out of the box. The primary use is for my PS3, gaming and Blu Ray DVDs using a HDMI 1.3 Cat 2 cable from [...].

ISSUE: I also have my PC hooked up to the TV (DVI to HDMI cable), I was surprised at how low the resolution is on the TV. It's not 800 X 600 bad but its around 1200 X 1000, I haven't quite pegged the exact resolution. The bigger problem is the RCA jacks to get the computer's sound through the TV. They don't work at all. Did a google search and this is a reoccurring problem with SHARP TVs. The only way to get PC sound would be to by a sound system.

Bottom line: Audio wiring BAD, Rest of the TV GOOD.

Fantastic TV

I replaced my old 720p 42" Samsung DLP for the improved clarity and quality of this fine machine. It's clear, reliable, and makes my Xbox 360 and Blu Rays look incredible. My only complaint is that I wish I had money for a slightly larger model (but really this one is perfect for my needs). Some people have complained about clarity of cable (duh, if you don't have HD cable, it will look kind of soft. No HD TV will make standard cable look any better. I got used to it until I can afford HD cable). Others have complained about motion blur (as with any TV, you need to muck with the settings. I turned off the OPC, black level expansion, and DNR as they weren't doing much in the positive sense. I found that having them off vastly IMPROVED the picture and completely eliminated any blurring or color bleeding). Finally the sound. It's not bad, but I have a sound system (just an old AIWA stereo with nice speakers) so I don't even use the TV speakers. If you are considering an HDTV, I highly recommend Sharp Aquos (not plain Sharp), Sony Bravia, and the new Samsung lines. Go LCD or LED and spring for full 1080p or you will regret it later. Trust me, you'll just end up buying a 1080p set later if you buy 720p now.

Died after 1 year

I've had the TV almost a year to the day. And it died today. For anybody thinking of buying this, please search for "Sharp Aquos OPC light blinking" on google. We've had the problem for a while, but you could always resolve it by unplugging the TV, waiting a second, and then plugging it back in. Now, nothing works.

Am horribly disappointed in this product.

The worst user interface I've ever seen

I own one of these. It has THE WORST user interface I've ever seen on a TV. Glaring flaw #1: no way of manually switching between 4:3 and 16:9. If you're connecting it directly to cable (as opposed to connecting through a box), it gets a lot worse. The automatic channel scan apparently fails to discriminate channels on which there are video & audio signals from those on which there are none. This leaves the user with the option of either clicking through literally hundreds of channels with nothing on them, memorizing the channel numbers of what you want to watch (e.g., 108.31), or spending 30-45 minutes -- I'm not exaggerating -- designating channels to be skipped, a procedure that is far more arduous than it should for be for digital channels because of the kludgey menus. Strangely, the channel skip procedure is significantly easier for analog chennels. It's baffling that the manufacturer didn't make it the same for both categories of channels. If you only use the TV as a monitor, the kludge interface is less of a problem, because you won't have to deal with it as much.

I had reviewed several brands and decided to order a Sharp Aquos. I am pleased to say it has met my expectations. The first one I received was damaged but the company quickly replaced it with another that wasn't. I am satisfied.
