Screen broke for no reason after a year!

We purchased the TV brand new from our local electronics store.

After owning the TV approximately eighteen months, we awoke one morning to find the inner screen shattered. Nobody had touched it during the night and it was perfectly fine the night before.

The extended warranty we had purchased for the TV was useless as the warranty company refused to fix the TV because they said we must have abused the TV.

So, we wasted almost $2000 for a television that lasted a year and a half.

We will never buy another Panasonic TV or LCD TV. We went with plasma for the replacement television.

Great Picture

Well defined picture in HD, very useful and convenient remote especially with cable service. Toddler has touched screen and left marks we are unable to remove- tough to clean screen.

Love It.

Bought this in December 2007, and it was money well spent. My wife wanted to upgrade from our 35" tube. I was reluctant, but am happy I went along. I had seen LCDs at friends and relatives houses, and was convinced that they were not that much better than what we had. Well they definately didn't have this.

The picture quality on the HD chanels is amazing. My wife, who does not watch sports, will watch now just to see the picture.

The sound is a little worse than what we had in our tube TV, but I knew that going in. If I want realy good sound, for a movie or music, I run it through our surround sound and its all good.

If you can find one of these at a discount for its age, you will not be dissapointed.

I like everything but these dark lines on the screen

Ours is 2 years old and has had a dark line down the middle for about a year. Now it has one on either side of the screen, too, and the one in the middle is getting darker.

Own it for now 3 years

This is a really good TV. But buy a newer one. This on was made in 2007. And now we have 2010.

Editorial Review :

Once again, Sharp®, the leader in LCD technology, has established a new design standard for LCD TVs. The new LC65D64U 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 LC65D64U model in virtually any type setting. The LC65D64U 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 4ms response time. The LC65D64U is a HDTV with built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC tuners and include 3 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 LC65D64U features a sleek piano black cabinet with subtle, recessed bottom-mounted speakers.

INCREDIBLE PICTURE !


I recently purchased this television for my restaurant and have recieved rave reviews from all of our patrons. The picture quality is the very best for a 65 inch LCD. This Sharp Aquos television deserves a solid 5 star rating. Great for watching sports!

Review of purchase of Sharp TV from CSBUS via Amazon.com

I purchased a Sharp 65" LCD TV via Amazon.com from the seller CSBUS in December 2009. The TV performs well and I would recommend it to others who want a TV this size and price. However I have problems with the seller. When the TV was delivered, I realized that it was not new as promised and that it had a couple of cosmetic defects. I called the seller CSBUS and they told me that the TV was purchased as part of a bulk buy by a large organization, but it was never actually used. However, in the process, the base was damaged. They offered to find a replacement base and send it to me, but they never did. When I asked why the warranty page in the manual had a stamp on it that said the warranty wasn't valid, they told me not to worry about it, that the warranty was valid. I admit that I got very busy during the holidays and didn't follow up to get the warranty issue resolved. Now I am asking Amazon.com to discuss this on my behalf with the seller CSBUS and make good on the warranty that comes with new Sharp TVs, which I thought I was buying.

Thank You,

What a great TV!

I got a great deal on this TV! I was hoping it would go on sale again here on Amazon but it has been unavailable for awhile now, but I happened to be shopping over the weekend, and saw this TV as a "Open Box Deal" that had been a floor model.
I paid $1,599 for it, and bought a extra 3 year warranty for $400.
I would be currious if anyone else got it any cheaper that that! thats about the same price I bought my 46" LCD in my bedroom awhile back.

I have not seen any banding issues or dead pixels, and I am using settings that someone posted on AVS forum, and it looks allot better than I was able to get it.
If anyone is interested I can post those settings here.

Amazing quality and perfect size

I bought this unit because I wanted a television that would give me a home theater experience without converting my basement family room into a media room. It's the perfect size for that...large enough to view movies and play video games with astonishing definition and theater presence without overwhelming the room. I'm amazed myself I'm saying a 65 inch television doesn't dominate the room but that's how far we've come in the last 10 years regarding what we expect from a television experience. I don't know anything about refresh rates or response times...I have a plasma..a 47 inch in our bedroom and the picture quality is no different. The only complaint I have regarding the change from a plasma to an LCD is that at angles to the viewing screen, some definition is lost with the LCD. Other than that, I am completely satisfied.

Good monitor for the price

purchased 4 of these monitors for work. The set up menus are a little funky but are the same as all of the other sharp LCD's in the same class of monitor. Very good picture quality for the money.

Perfect for small area

I received my 20" Aquos yesterday. I was sceptical because I got such a great deal on it but was pleasantly surprised by the slim profile, modern look, and portability. I originally planned to put the unit on a reticulating bracked but I love the stand so much that I put it on a glass shelf instead. The picture is great but I would suggest using component video or s-video since the co-axial cable doesn't bring out the full potential of the LCD screen. The sound is slightly tinny but that's to be expected from such a small output. Overall, a great buy and I will definitely suggest this TV to anyone in the market for a smaller LCD display.

Just bought one and am THRILLED!

I'm so thankful I didn't let the cryptic bad reviews of this product deter me from my instinct to purchase it. The picture is fabulous - the colors are incredible, the picture crisp. The sound is excellent. Plus all the other features (weight, portability etc) mentioned in other reviews. We have no problems with a noisy power box - and I was ready to hear something based on some previous comments. So perhaps Sharp has fixed that issue! We simply couldn't be more pleased - and the price can't be beat!

Great for the bedroom

If you are looking for something for the living room (i.e., as your main TV set), 20" just won't cut it. It's just too small for today's modern human eyes. For a typical living room, the minimum TV should be a 37" Panasonic plasma set. 42" is another good choice, although for most people 50" would be an overkill.

This Sharp 20" NTSC TV is perfect for the bedroom. It takes up very little space on the nightstand, and it sports sharp and high-contrast image quality, making watching TV pleasant rather than eye-straining. This model is not widescreen, but that's ok for me because at 20", widescreen would have made images too small for me. This model is also not HDTV, but rather EDTV (extended definition), which it means it fully supports progressive-scan DVD playback. Hook this up to a progressive scan DVD player -- I have the super-compact CyberHome model I got at Radio Shack for $45 -- and you'll get some great-looking DVD movies in your bedroom.

As a secondary TV for your bedroom or kitchen or study, this Sharp delivers great quality and great value.

mine's disappointing

I have the same tv in a slightly different size. The picture has a dark shadow down the middle. It's terribly annoying.
