so far very happy

I purchased the tv through amazon warehouse, i was a little skeptical abouting spending so much money for a refurb that i have not even seen but i decided to give it a try since it was for $1600. I was between this a samsung lnt5271 and xbr4, the sony was just to expensive and i was worried about the glare from the samsung so i decided to try the sharp even though i saw some many people complaining about banding issues. I have seen a little when it comes to the whites but it is something you really have to look for, the ps3 looks awsome and i cant really imagine a much clear picture. And the tv looks great the floating glass is a very nice touch. I recied the tv a little late it took close to 3 weeks getting it, i think it was a issue with the warehouse, but for the price i couldn complain, delivery people were great.

Somes cons,
very little banding but like i said you really have to look for it, i was not impressed with the sound at all, it is nothing like the sony i had but i have a bose system to do most of the movies and games, but for a tv that cost that much i really expected better. I can also see that if the tv was mounted and you did not have a month that is expandable it would be had to connet things since there is no side inputs. the last thing was the auto sizing of the pic, its not very good at switching on its own from hd channes to regular air most of the time you have to manually switch it back from strech to dot by dot, that can get kinda annoying.

Other then that the picture is really nice and i guess thats the most important part right? I also recomend using amazon so far there customer service seems to be great but then agian i have not had many issues so i guess we will see.

Very satisfied with the TV

I am very happy with the product. it is easy to set up and once I hook it up with a blue ray player, I was amazed by the quality of the pictures.

I saw some other brands that are cheaper than sharp but you get a much better TV with sharp.

Sharp Aqous LC52D82U Excellent!

About one year ago I purchased the Sharp 52" LCD TV. I am very happy with this purchase. The picture has excellent sharpness and color, with no color banding as experienced with some of the earlier versions.

This TV has performed perfectly with no problems. A very nice feature of this TV is the automatic picture level control, which controls the level of brightness of the video under variable room lighting conditions, especially on a partly cloudy day, when the lighting constantly changes.

The audio is good if you do not use maximum bass setting, as setting bass level too high overdrives the built-in speakers at high audio levels. The audio is surprisingly good at normal settings with the bottom mounted internal speakers.

Don't be afraid to explore all the video settings to achieve the picture that will please you, as it takes some experimenting to get this right, but it's worth it.

I highly recommend this TV after using it for almost one year. This is my 3rd Sharp TV....all with excellent reliability.

Sharp satisfaction

read the reviews, did the research, took a chance and purchased through amazon and their affiliates. It was a wonderful experience. No hard sell for anything like you would find if you purchased from some of those other sites. About the only down side is the screen reflects a muted shine from a light that the prior TV (panasonic plasma)did not reflect.

Defective out of box - lousy customer service

Bought the tv as a Circuit City close-out. Was defective when I brought it home. I assumed Sharp would replace it with new since it is 2 days old. They are insisting on a repair after a week wait. I had to call twice to get that info. Very disappointing customer service. Very disappointing experience with Aquos so far.

Great Picture and overall value

I bought this TV from local club store last week. I believe the club stores are the only place to find this particular model number, but from the research I did online, it is identical to the 52E77U.

Setting up the TV was extremely easy. First you have to attach the stand, then just plug in the power cable and your inputs and turn it on. The first thing that you see when you turn it on is an initial basic setup menu. Once you go through the few questions, then you are all set. I did spend a little time tweaking the settings as you would have to do with pretty much any TV you buy. I found a site that had some users posting their settings and I tried a few of those. I then made a few more adjustments and I found what I feel is the perfect setting combination. The picture quality is truly amazing, very vivid and clear, and everything in HD is just phenomenal.

As far as sound quality, I have not listened to the speakers at all as I am using a seperate receiver for the sound. I would not expect much in the way of quality as these types of TV's are built for picture quality, not sound, and really, I'd be fine if they did not even have speakers.

I cannot find a single thing to be negative about with this set, except for one very odd quirk. With my setup, I have my cable and PS3 running to my ONKYO receiver, which then has one output to the TV. Whenever I first turned on the TV, I got a message about sound not being compatible. I had seen this mentioned on another site, and all I had to do was turn the TV's volume control down to 0, and I never get the message.

One final thought. While doing research on Sharp LCD TV's, there was some mention of banding issues. Everything I could find said this issue was resolved and limitted to some run of screens at one of the factories. I have not noticed any flaws of any sort with my picture. I highly recommend this TV, at least, for the price I paid for it, you get more value than comparable Samsung, Sony, etc. models.

Great looks, grating sound

I just picked one of these sets up a few days ago at a club store after seeing its price just a couple hundred over the LC-46D65U I've had my eye on for the last year or so. The screen is good. No dead pixels, no blurring issues that I can see, and best of all, no perceptible input lag with my xbox. (this is the feature of the Aquos sets that was my primary interest in them)

Out of the box, the image quality was quite good but in need of tuning. The colors are not oversaturated as with many televisions. The menus are intuitive and easy to use so it took just a few minutes to adjust the temperature to what looks right to me. However, after 3-4 attempts, I still haven't struck the right balance with the gamma, contrast, and brightness. I am a little bit of a nut over these, however, so I wouldn't consider it a fault of the set. Overall, I would say the image quality is excellent.

Sound quality is terrible. I mean, it is embarrassingly bad. I have never heard a TV with worse speakers. And the TV that this is replacing is an Olevia that couldn't play in stereo without major distortion. This set is worse than that. The sound is tinny and shrill. It is about as high in fidelity as the cheap transducer in a laptop computer. There are menu options to adjust the bass and treble up and down, but even with treble cut as far as it'll go and bass set to the max, there is little to no change in the atrocious noise noise this thing puts out. The best I can guess is that the expectation by Sharp's marketing and engineers is that this set was never meant to play its own sound. Graciously, there are audio out jacks on the TV. If you have a home theater set, this is a non-issue. If you don't, be sure to budget in a decent set of powered speakers. The built in audio is simply unusable.

The input/output jacks are plentiful. I count 5 HDMI's, 2 YPbPr's, 2 RCA's, a VGA dsub, an s-video, and a serial port, as well as a stereo 1/8" jack, and as I meantioned, it has the ever-so-necessary audio output jacks, both in RCA and digital form factors. One HDMI port, one RCA input, and a USB service terminal are situated on a side panel, keeping them easily accessible for temporarily installed devices. The rest of the jacks are on the back of the unit, off to one side, with the power jack on the opposite side. It would have been nice to have these closer together and nearer to the center of the chassis. The included power cord is a measly 4 feet. I had to reorganize my runs around my entertainment center to accommodate this. It's not a major issue but it is needlessly annoying. If you don't have a plug immediately behind the set, you're going to need an extension cord.

The remote is neither the best nor the worst I've used. It's an awkward shape and I don't like the positioning of the channel and volume buttons but the buttons have a nice feel and the controls are instant and responsive.

All in all, I would say that it is a good set. The case looks good, the picture is crisp, clear, and fluid, and it's loaded with everything necessary to be the centerpiece of a solid home theater system. The minimal screen lag is great for gamers. The terrible treatment they've given the audio system precludes this set from being a standalone piece, however, and if your interest is in getting the most TV for your money, remember that this is not complete out-of-the box, and the savings it offers over comparable quality displays may well be eaten up in the purchase of a listenable audio rig.

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.

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.

Beautiful for Digital

For a change I didn't buy this TV from Amazon, got it at a small USCG exchange. The good - It has a beautiful digital picture using an antenna, I actually pick up 64 digital channels with an unpowered antenna here in Florida. It also aquires analog signals fairly well but who cares they're going away next year anyhow. The sound is pretty good, not at all tinny. Nice easy to use menu, switchable display ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 letterbox format for digital viewing. Has a sleep timer, V-Chip, color temperature setting and all the standard stuff. Uses only 60 watts power. The bad - no HDMI input, but does have component level, S-video and standard video inputs and it has digital audio output. For the price you won't go wrong on this nice little set.

Fantastic Value

This is really a neat TV. Fits in an amoire and the footprint was only a bit taller than a much smaller screen TV. Have it hooked up to UVerse and the picture and sound operate optimumly. Paid $299 at Best Buy two weeks ago. Sharp has excellent quality, and when it's time for HDTV will definitely consider the Aquos. Noted one reviewer said the sound was tinny. Not so with mine. The sound in fact is quite good. The more I think about the price the sound is even better!!!

Great 2nd TV if you understand what you're buying

I wouldn't recommend building your home theater around this unless your needs are basic, but it's a great TV for the money. This set is ideal when your video sources are primarily standard def in 4:3 format, such as from a basic cable or satellite set-top box, but you don't want to buy something that's going to be obsolete right away. If you're thinking about buying this you should understand that this set can handle HD signals (over the air local channels or component input), but the picture isn't full HD quality. Audio from built-in speakers isn't great, but it does have a digital output.

Poor Sound Quality

The sound quality is so bad you feel like you're listening to something out of a tin can. The picture is great, but the sound is hard to overcome. The audio is digital dolby - not stereo. We are going to return it and pay the 15% restocking fee for something with better sound quality.

The best 1080p and the best overall LCD....no comparison - hands down

This HDTV is provides the most vivid, stunning picture I have ever seen. I spent over 3 months shopping for a 32" true 1080p with very high contrast ratio and excellent overall picture. The only model that comes close to this is the similar Samsung DNIe in 32" class. This is my first HDTV and it is used a computer monitor, gaming monitor, and TV. It has so many inputs I could probably use it for 5 other things. The design is slim, the weight with the stand is only 40lbs. The picture is - flat out - unbeatable. Go to any major retailer and spend some real time and you'll know. There is NOTHING like AQUOS. Sharp knows the technology, and this is their flagship product. I recommend anyone shopping in the 32" class 1080p - spend the extra few hundred. It is NOT for the name. It is for the quality, and there are very few brands I can say that about. 10,000:1 contrast ratio and 6ms response time will show you the future of high definition LCDs.

very pleased with lucky choice

When I decided to get an LCD TV, I shopped on line a bit and settled on this one, thinking the Sharp name would be enough to ensure a decent product. I am more than pleased with my decision. The picture on this TV, even with just rabbit ears, is outstanding. The sound is excellent, too, which is something I was worried about with a flat panel; however, I was pleasantly surprised.

I chose this model because of the 1080 resolution and the cabinet style, which I think is the most attractive out there for TVs of this type. The base allows the panel to rotate about 110 degrees, which is very nice and not particularly common with these things. I bought the red one (it's really more burgundy, but that's hard to tell from the pictures), and am glad I got such a unique set; it matches my crib. The auto brightness feature is great, especially for a bedroom, where I use my TV. Setup was easy and virtually everything is pretty intuitive without having to read the manual.

The cons are: cheesy remote with cheap feel and poor key layout (I bought a Sharp blu-ray at same time, and it came with much more functional remote with better feel); the fact that you have to toggle thru inputs on remote (see other reviews); on-screen display of menu items is too small, although it is neatly laid out. Although it offers stereo audio and subwoofer line-level outputs, I don't like the switching on these. I want to use the TV's speakers along with my stereo; I can do this, but I am not able to control output level to stereo (stereo volume) from TV as switching to variable line level output on TV turns off the TV speakers, which I need for realistic sound staging. I know they did this because they think this is what most people would want, but not I. Seems like a simple firmware matter to offer one more selection for audio output configuration.

Overall, though, I'm highly pleased. For years I lived without a TV (by choice) and then with only rabbit ears. I've already tried the digital converter box (govt. cheese) on my old tube set and the reception was poor (unlike this TV, which is great with just rabbit ears). So I caved in and did what Big Brother hoped I would with the digital switch: bought a new tv and signed up for pay service, which I'm getting next month. Next year if I find I'm watching enough to justify it, I'll move this set to the kithcen/office and buy a bigger LCD for the bedroom, probably for less than what I paid for this one (about $860 from Amazon in early December 2008).

High Quality 32" LCD

I am extremely pleased with the overall quality of this television. While it is a bit on the pricey side for a 32", the quality of the picture (in both SD and HD) is amazing. I purchased mine refurbished, saving a few hundred dollars, but it is worth the money.

Pros:

Superior SD and HD quality picture
Wonderful viewing angles - No picture degradation
Good audio for an LCD
3 HDMI inputs (including one on the side of the unit, which is helpful for wall mounting, which I have done)
Tons of options for adjusting the picture settings
Great design
1080p

Cons:
A bit pricey for the 32" size (Some of the 1080p 32" sets are now around $750)
Power up time and input changing speed are average

It is hard to find a TV larger than 22" with a white bezel, and this is the only option out there that isn't several years old.

I highly recommend this TV if you are looking for a unique color (Red, White), 1080p, and a high quality picture.
