DONT BUY THIS TV

DONT buy this hdtv, its a waste of your money. after about 6 months, the tv begins to hum very loud and its the most annoying thing in the world especially if your watching tv. to be completely honest, dont buy any rear projection of any kind. right now im looking to replace the sharp 56dr650 with a plasma or lcd tv mainly because they dont hum louder that the volume the tv is. iv had my 56dr650 for 18 months and they only way to replace the color wheel (the part that hums) it to buy another 56dr650 and take the color wheel out, so what the point in doing that. if you wanna save yoursELf some trouble, DONT BUY THIS HDTV

The honey moon is over...

It was great for 6 months... but please do not... I repeat... do not buy this television. This is a discontinued item. I brought this TV last November 2005 only had it for 6 months. And now it's been nothing but one big headache. This thing started making strange wining noises. And couldn't get any picture. At first they thought it was the lamp that needed replacing. Not!
Still waiting to find out what's wrong with this thing. I know I probably got a defective television. But I wish I would had brought my 61 panasonic TV instead of this thing. Oh well, 2553 down the drain.

Horrible TV! Do not buy!

We purchased this TV in December of 2005 for about $2500. It was great for one year until it started making terrible noises and the picture stopped. Fortunately we bought a warranty, but it cost over $1800 to repair it (which the warranty covered). Within a year, the bulb burned out and this time the warranty wouldn't cover it. We would have had to invest another $5-600 again to make this repair. We tried contacting Sharp hoping to get some assistance since at this point, the repairs on the TV now almost exceeded the original cost of the set to begin with! Sharp refused to help. Please, please, please do not buy this TV!

Do not buy this TV!

This TV has color wheel issues. They go bad in 6-12 months. Sharp could care less and they dont help. I had to throw mine out in a year because the color wheel went bad.

Questions & Answers

Question : How would you rate a 26 inch Samsung and Sharp LCD TV/PC Monitor?
I am thinking of buying one of these to use as a PC monitor and to watch tv. ratio is about 5000:1 on both models.Do you have any other suggestions?

Answer:
Samsung and Philips/Magnavox have the highest failure rates and no support and parts once out of warranty.Samsungs have poor picture and poor designed products.Sharp hase OK LCDs but poor support as well, alot of the Sharps have been having problems with their LCD Displays comming apart.The best LCDs are the Sony, good support and alot better quality than any. Followed by Toshiba.

My Sharp TV 52D62U has one vertical line dead, it can not display right color and looks like one of RGB channel in this line is dead.Since its warranty was expired, I would like to know how much cost to fix this problem?Thank you for answer in advance!

The last time I saw this on a 46 Aquos screen it required a new LCD display panel and the cost was nearly the cost of a new HDTV of the same size.

Question : What wall mount should I use for a 52 inch Sharp LCD TV weighing 80-90 pounds?

Question : I currently have a 32" Sharp Aquos LCD tv, and am debating whether or not to buy a BluRay player. Worth it?
I had read somewhere that the difference on the smaller LCD screens when comparing Bluray to DVD is not that much of a difference. Is this true?

Answer:
in my experience, you don't know it's better until you've been exposed to it. i didn't believe that bluray could be that much better than regular DVD until i watched a couple movies that i have on both formats. the clarity is amazing and sound quality is tremendous. that being said, it only works if you have the supporting cast, such as an HDMI input/output (a bluray player will have the output) and high quality sound receiver (the tv speakers don't do this part justice). i would suggest getting one if you have an extra $200 laying around and if you're a gamer of any kind, you end up spending $100 more for a PS3 (it comes with a bluray player).

Question : Any ideas where they repair screens on Sharp Aquos LCD tv's?
I have a 46 inch Sharp Aquos LCD TV and the screen cracked while moving it around the house. Do yall have any ideas what should i do to fix it.

Answer:
I'm sorry to say this, but the last time an LCD panel was damaged, the cost of the panel was the same price as a new TV set was....Warehousing parts adds to the cost of a SINGLE PART...and that's the BIGGEST and most costly part in the whole TV set !

Question : Does this Sharp LCD TV model number LC-32SB23U have the ability to receive signals from local channels?
... without the use of connection after Feburary 17th? I owned this just a week or so and so far, I am beyond enjoying it. Please note that this question is DTV-transition related.And another question, my TV also feature software updates using a USB device, where would I get the software updates from Sharp.com?

Answer:
Yes it will work PAST the February deadline....Second...you only install UPDATES for certain symptoms you are actually seeing on your TV set...Weird colors? Look for your Model and the term "Bad Color" on Sharp.com UNDER your specific model number !!Software upgrades for ANOTHER MODEL do NOT apply to your TV set !And if you attempt to use another model's Upgrade....you will destroy the software programming on your TV set...I've had customers upload software and pull the USB out BEFORE it was done and the TV won't turn on at all...So....if it AIN'T BROKE.....DON'T FIX IT.

Question : Trying to hook up sharp lcd tv to dell pc - do i use the hdmi on the tv to vga plug on computer?
Sharp - LC-37BD6X tv to Dell 530 desk top -the best way to hook up tv.cable length 5 meters

Answer:
You cant go VGA to hdmi, but you can go DVI to HDMI. If your computer has DVI it will be a white colored connector on your video card. If your TV has a VGA port you can also go that route.
