a little research pays off

i researched the more reputable manufacturers, price, what you get for the money, and customer reviews. i wanted a great tv for fast action sports, namely pro football. i have never enjoyed football more. all other hd programming is awesome as well. very pleased with purchase and overall buying experience.

Best In Class

Few possessions inspire as much emotional response as electronics - and specifically the amount televisions do. For that reason I'm a bit hesitant to review the Sharp Aquos LC46D82U. So I will begin by stating clearly that while I believe the 82U - and now the 84U - are the best TV's in the mid-ranged HDTV market, there are better televisions out there - though not at a mid-range price point.

Now to the details, I've owned my 82U for a little over one year and in that time I've watched everything from 1080p Blu-Ray movies, standard definition and HD cable, 480p DVDs and upconverted 1080i DVDs. I've also used the set for gaming and have tried everything from Sony's PS2 and PS3 to a Nintendo Wii. The obvious conclusion from viewing all of those different formats is that the better the source the better your picture will be.

High definition sources such as Blu-Ray movies and games all look astounding. As expected standard definition sources look just "okay". In my experience using the Aquos (and other 16:9 HDTVs) is that standard definition content is best viewed in letterbox or 4:3. Stretching the picture to fill a 16:9 screen results in less than desirable picture quality. Either way adjusting the picture size is as simple as a button press on the remote. Watch what looks best to you.

The LC46D82U offers a fantastic 4 millisecond response time meaning that the motion blur once attributable to LCDs is gone. Content once the bane of LCDs such as games and sports programs are easily handled by the Aquos.

The available dynamic backlight offers a continual adjusting light engine that can create rich black levels and vibrant bright colors. Out of the box the Aquos offers several factory presets for lighting and picture control though thankfully each is independently adjustable. My advice is to acquire a configuration disc to properly tune the settings for optimal picture quality. Several stores also offer professional set up services though I think they're generally overpriced.

One of my favorite features of the Aquos is the construction of the actual screen. The Aquos offers one of the best screens I've encountered in HDTVs. The material of the screen serves to deaden ambient light while allowing for tremendous picture quality. What it means is that the Aquos can be successfully utilized in even very bright rooms without experiencing a washed out picture.

The speakers included with the Aquos are functional and aren't intended to provide a movie theater like experience. The slim profile of the Aquos being the main restriction to the size and output of the speakers. That said I've found no gripe with what's included. The speakers are clear and play sufficiently loud to satisfy those used to television speakers.

Before I purchased my Aquos I heavily researched competitors in it's class. What I found was that the Aquos suited by needs and budget best. I would recommend others to do the same. All told I am extremely pleased with the my Aquos and recommend it to anyone looking for a mid-ranged HDTV.

sharp has saved me as a customer

I originally owned a 42d62u that developed problems and sharp replaced it with a refurbed 42d64u that came with problems. They replaced that set with a new 46d82u that i received today. It is an 803xxxx serial. I could not be happier having owned sharps with problems i was not expecting to be this pleased with the set. The picture is amazing and looks great with both cable hd and bluray. Sharp went above and beyond what i would expect a company to do when dealing with a warranty claim. My 62u was 2 months over the warranty when they agreed to replace it, which is why they sent me a refurbished 64u and not a new one. When that set had issues they upgraded me to this new 46d82u. Great set that handles everything i've tested with no motion blur, no banding and an overall amazing picture. Do not let sharp's lcd issues scare you away from their lcd's. They have the best customer service i have ever experienced, they stand behind their products, and will make every effort to make the customer satisfied if they have a set with a problem.

The best purchase I've made in over a year

I don't know where to start, so I guess I'll go back a couple months. Back in November I had purchased a 1080P 47" Westinghouse from BestBuy, the TV featured blacks which looked like grays, 30 second warm-up period and finally locked up after less than two weeks. I returned it for a full refund and began researching other brands/models. After all of my research it came down to three choices: Sharp Aquos, Sony Bravia XBR and Samsung. In the end I went with Sharp, the CNET review sold me.

So I finally ordered my Sharp Aquos early January, I've never bought from Amazon before and with the exception of my mattress and box spring I've never ordered something this large online before. I have to admit I was somewhat afraid of which could lie in store for me. But all of my worries turned out to be just worries.

I received my LCD TV in less than a week of ordering it and fell in love with it. Blacks look like blacks and the contrast level floors me. Mass Effect for xbox360 is absolutely breath taking. For games like Burnout Paradise you actually get drawn into the game because the color is so vivid and the refresh rate appears almost instantaneously. High definition content looks spectacular too, watching Transformers on HDDVD was almost as good as it was on the big screen.

The only gripe I have with it is that I think that it uses a 6-bot color profile and not an 8-bit color profile. Maybe I'm being too picky, just about everything I've thrown at it has looked flawless. Overall it's a great LCD TV for anyone looking to upgrade or buy their first LCD panel.

Also, I wish all of the LCD TV manufactures would have continued to support the DVI-D interface longer. Most people will just do what I did and use a HDMI-to-DVI-D cable to power my MCE system, but HDMI-DVI cables do not support dual link DVI, so there is less bandwidth in the cable. If companies like Nvidia would release HDMI port equipped cards I wouldn't even mention it, but the only products offering HDMI ports on them are motherboard manufactures using onboard graphics...yuck

One final note, Amazon has made me a firm believer in them after this purchase. With-in 30 days they lowered the price on this TV, so I followed the steps in order to be refunded the price difference. I was on the phone for less than 5 minutes and they green lighted my refund difference. I still can't believe it, it was so simple and hassle free. Kudos, Kudos.

Sound went out also

This set was great up until this week and suddenly the sound went out. My second Sharp TV set to have problems this week. Guess I angered the Sharp Gods.

Warning

I purchased this item in June of 2006. In August of 2007 -- 2 months after the warrantee ran out -- the sound went out. Do not recommend.

Do not purchase this TV

Likewise, the sound went out just after 1 year warranty was up. then the video followed. 500.00 to fix. Has been sitting and collecting dust ever since.

All Sound is ... lost !

Count me among the many who lost all sound, beginning 2 weeks ago after owning the set about 30 months, trouble-free. I solved the problem by hooking up my cable audio output to a small receiver with speakers, spending about $10 to buy a cable to convert audio cables to a stereo connector, at Radio Shack. I won't be buying another Sharp set after this disappointment.

Terrific product!

This is a wonderful TV. I had no problem setting it up and it fit beautifully into my TV cabinet. The picture is terrific and the controls are easy to understand. I would buy another one in a minute.

Should have listened

Should have listened to a previous review that warned of an abnormal volume control. Turned up all the way I still can't hear it very well!! Stay away from Sharp products!

Rating :

nice but incomplete

A nicely designed TV/DVD player, but . . .

1. The QAM/ATSC tuner only goes to cable channel 125, not the standard channel 135. Connected directly to Comcast cable (no box) in DC I miss channels such as Fox HD that are above 125.

2. No flashback (last channel) button

3. No TV guide function

All of which is irrelevant if you use it as a monitor attached to a cable/satellite/FIOS box, or off the air.

Great TV - Great Customer Service

This TV was a Christmas gift from family. It's perfect in a small room. The picture is clear. The sound is excellent. At first we had trouble doing a channel scan. I called customer service on a Saturday and got a service representative very quickly. She patiently talked me through the one little step we were missing. Thanks to her help I now get about 10 digital channels. There is one major station that keeps saying "low signal" and won't come in. But I think that's because of our area. We will be adding cable access to this part of our house soon.

Good buy

I've had this unit for about 6 months. I'm very happy with it, but I'd be even happier if I'd got it at the $100 reduced price it's going for now. Unlike some LCD monitors, the sound is fine. The only time I have trouble is with some channels. It's the channel that has diminished sound because commercials come in LOUD and clear. Good position of controls on top. Good angle vision. Dvd is good too. So easy to use. I did a lot of research online before selecting this model. I'm satisfied with my choice.

Poor Volume

I too, purchased this product to use in a RV, and while sitting less than 7 feet from unit volume is not enough. Retailer advised me (after purchase)that this size TV should be used as a monitor or with a home theatre system. Sharp customer support was not supportive by saying that that is the way they make their product. Each speaker is only 1.5 watts...too little for anything. I suggest buying a product from another Mfg that cares about their customer.
