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.

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.

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.

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.

Crystal shap picture quality....Best i have had so far.

I am very pleased with this TV. I have a HD so all the more better pictures. I have hooked up my Wii, DVD player, Camcorder, receiver all to this TV and it still has options for more inputs optical, HDMA, etc. I would definitely recommend this TV.

Met my expectations

Chose the 720p over 1080 to save some money and because we don't do gaming or expect to hook up a computer to TV. Picture color and model style are excellent. I've been looking at the Aquos model for two to three years. No other brand or model was even considered. The LCD display is as beautiful and colorful as Sharp claims. Very happy with my purchase. Delivery was the only problem. It took way longer than estimated and I blame that on the shipping company, so don't be impatient, especially if you live in a rural area.

This TV is super. Great picture, easy to use right out of the box. Has great added features that are very easy to use as well. Would highly recommend.

Great

Like it a whole lot. Arrived in perfect condition with no dead pixels. Only complaints would be:
1. 120hz might not be as big a deal as advertisers are trying to make us think.
2. I think I remember seeing something about "backlighting" which I thought was something else... but of course that was my fault.

Great TV for the price

I was looking for a 52 inch TV to upgrade from my 32 inch and ended up going with Sharp Aquos. I was always a fan of Samsung and love my 32 inch A450 but I was worried about the reflection that the Samsung's have, due to the glossy screen, as I have a family room with a lot of windows. The Sharp has a matte finish with no reflection so I have been very happy in that regard. The picture quality on this TV is very good when adjusted. It took me a little while to get the right settings for my room but now that I have it set the picture quality is great. After setting up the TV I had to upgrade the cables on my cable box as they caused the TV to be fuzzy (standard vga cables). Once I upgraded to component cables the picture quality of HD and regular was very noticeable. I have a PS3 and Apple TV and both look fantastic when running at 1080p. Even the Wii looks good but I will probably upgrade to component on the Wii in order to get higher quality. The 120hz works well even though I'm sure newer models are probably even better but I've been happy with the quality of football etc on this TV. The only area this TV could use help with is the sound. The sound is kind of empty but not bad for general watching. If you are big into sound quality you might want to check out other TV's but many LCD's are not great so external sources may be needed.

I was able to get a great deal on this TV at another vendor, under Eleven Hundred dollars so for that price this Tv is fantastic as many Samsung and Sony 42 inch TV's with 1080p and 120hz are that price right now with. If you are looking for a TV take a look at Sharp, for the price and features they are very good. They don't have the extra features such as hooking up to your internet but who wants that and why would you want to pay for those features. I just want a great picture at a great price, not to receive RSS feeds over my broadband connection.

For those who own this TV, get the firmware update at sharpusa.com

I had this TV since last november. I just decided to check out the website for any info and I found that this TV has a new firmware update since October of 2009. You're gonna have to download it to a USB drive that is formated as "FAT."

Go here and search for this TV model:

Great TV. Very pleased so far.

I've had this TV for about 3 weeks now and I am very pleased thus far. I did an agonizing amount of research and this seemed like the best deal for a 52" TV. I went with the 120HZ as I heard it enhanced viewing sports and was a definate plus with Blu Ray (which I do not yet have). I cant really judge this feature as I have no point of reference. HD programming looks outstanding as do DVD's. I expected bad sound and this was the case. But a few days ago we switched from Direct TV to Comcast and my wife and I were stunned at how much better the TV sounded. Night and day. Why this is I do not know....
The blacks on this screen are very dark and look outstanding. Just watched "The Descent" which is an extremely dark movie and it looked just great.
Anyway I recommend this TV if you are looking for an affordable 52" from a reputable manufacturer.

Amazing picture; short lifespan

I bought this TV a year ago. I was very happy with the purchase. I bought a Peerless wall mount bracket to go with the TV. It looks great on the wall, and the picture is simply amazing: deep blacks, nice smooth gradients, sharp crisp images, and really good contrast and color.

The sound was a little disappointing at first, but once you adjust the sound settings manually it's pretty good. For movies I would recommend running the sound through a home theater system.

One month after the warranty expired the TV stopped working. We were watching TV last night, heard a couple of clicks from the power relay and the TV went dead, except for a blinking green power light on the front of the unit.

I called Sharp (on a Sunday) and someone answered right away after navigating the phone menu for a short time. The green blinking power light apparently means that the unit is not getting sufficient power to operate, according to the Sharp representative. All other devices plugged into the same surge-protector are working fine, so it's not a problem with the outlet. The Sharp representative couldn't comment on what was wrong, but I believe that the power supply circuit failed. He provided me with the number for an authorized Sharp repair shop near me.

A quick search shows that the Aquos line has problems with the power supply units failing and it's a known issue with Sharp according to some online posts [...]. Another quick search shows that replacement power supplies are available on eBay between $45 and $150. Instead of spending $500+ on getting this TV repaired, I'm going to spend $70 to get the part shipped to me and make the repair myself. If it fails I'll replace the Aquos with a Sony Bravia.

I'm quite disappointed that the TV didn't last longer, especially since we've all enjoyed it so much in the past year. It's a great TV marred by (presumably) quality or design issues.

My recommendation: buy the extended warranty (on any TV you pick).

Good TV with a couple of negatives

Got this TV at an Atlanta area MART that sells many BRANDS (hint, hint), and got it at an excellent price (after salesperson cuts and rebates, got it for just over $900). Its a different model number (store-specific), but the same exact TV.

Here are lists for the pros and cons:

PROS
- Excellent picture, and easy to plug-n-play
- The TV menu/options has a TON of pick-and-choose settings, which leads to an endless amount of tweaking to get the best possible picture.
- The set looks nice mounted on the wall.
- The sound for TV/Cable is excellent.
- The HD picture for the cable is crisp and clear!
- Energy save features are great (auto-shut off, signal detection, automatic brightness adjuster, etc).

CONS
- Main Con: The picture from playing Blu-Ray movies (connected with a proper 1080p HDMI cable from a PS3) is not as crisp as some other TVs I have seen. I've been told that this is most likely due to the size of the TV, as larger TVs would be able to deliver 'crisper' detail (as the 1080 horizontal lines wouldn't be as compacted).
Was told by a certain store's 'Dork Group' that at 37', 1080p is only JUST more noticeable that 720p would be. They said in order for 1080p to be fully observed, a screen size of 42' and greater is best.
- The sound of both blu-ray and regular DVDs leaves something to be desired. I don't have a home theater set-up, and the speakers on the TV don't seem to handle the dolby digital sound as well as they should (can watch TV with volume in the teens...need to hike it up to the upper 30's to mid 40's for DVD/blu-ray playback). I think its just an issue with the TV's ability to compress the higher audio input.
- All inputs are in back of the TV (not side-mounted). Thus, if your TV is mounted to the wall, once its there, changing out cords and plugs is a challenge w/o removing the TV from the wall.
- On-TV buttons (power, volume, etc) are on top of the TV. Again an issue if the TV is mounted on the wall.
- On occasion, it takes the TV up to 10 seconds to read a new signal. For instance, playing a Blu-Ray disc, the rating screen is typically in 720p resolution. The TV will show 'lag' in decoding the 720p signal vs. the 1080p of the rest of the disc.

Sharp made a nice HDTV here, but the designing of the TV is quite flawed and poorly executed. Plus, the information about the 1080p resolution on this size TV is a little off-putting. I recommend saving a few hundred bucks and going with the 720p model for the 37' inch set. Also, be sure to consider needing additional speakers in order to fully enjoy DVD/blu-ray sound.

Nice TV

Great buy, very satisfied with size, unless its right next to a 40 or 42 inch tv you would never know its a tad smaller. Wonderfully clear picture, I use a digital antenna and pick up amazing free digital local TV. Really really impressed by picture quality.

very "Sharp" 1080p

This is an awesome LCD. Sharp, in my opinion, has it all including a great price. The contrast ratio is very important to have the best images, colors and true black/whites. The Aquos has one of the highest
available for the price. Great for gaming & action scenes as well. The vendor shipped the product out quickly...ordered tuesday night and arrived thursday by 3:00pm...very nice.

Sharp has Quality and Customer ServiceProblems

I bought a new Sharp LC-37D62U on-line. It was pretty, the right size for my space, the specs were great and customer reviews were favorable. My experience to this point has been less than favorable.
The picture quality is pretty good, good viewing angle, very dark blacks and good contrast. Unfortunately, the audio will not lock onto two local digital sub-channels, it cuts in and out. I've tried a different antenna, with no change. Two other digital tuners in the house work fine on all channels. Sharp customer service tried to diagnose the problem by phone and finally decided to dispatch a local repair center. The local repair center says the problem is with the Sharp firmware and cannot be resolved until Sharp updates the firmware. Sharp denies a firmware issue and blames the local broadcaster. I asked why my other tuners worked, they said their tuner doesn't work like other peoples'. They are half right.
So, here I sit with a new Sharp TV that for whatever reason will not work with two of the local stations. I guess my options are to move to another city and hope those broadcasters work on Sharp TVs, watch the other channels or buy another new TV. If I get another TV, I don't think I'll consider Sharp as an option!
