Dead Pixel already

Just purchased this unit and have a blown pixel. I don't know if it came out of the box this way or if it just occured after 3 weeks of usage. In anycase, I looked this up on google and it seems to be a not so uncommon problem with some SHARP LCD's. I am a bit frustrated, but atleast the blown pixel is on the bottom right portion of the screen and not dead smack in the middle. I called SHARP customer service and was on hold for about ten minutes. The service rep was pleasant and responsive. She offered me a few options to fix my problem. We documented this problem and will request service if I see more dead pixels appear in the future.
All in all, this television is good. Blow pixel seems to be the luck of the draw with LCDs. I also own a SAMSUNG 42inch plasma which I think is excellent.

A great TV for me

I personally love this TV and the picture and sound that it gives. However I must state that the TV it was replacing probably should be in a museum. We have not as of yet upgraded to HD service and are still working on our usual cable service. love the picture which is a huge upgrade from what we had before. Personally the speakers are also great for me but again that is most likely because of where we started from before we got this TV. I love the fact that I am able to have both my DVD player and my Wii hooked up at the same time. The graphics when playing the Wii are great. The colours are crisp and bright. I would recommend that you change the colour settings to what you like as soon as you get it as it makes a huge difference. For the price I would say this was a great TV I am sure if you are worried about the specs etc then yes you could do better but you would also pay a lot more too.

Awesome HDTV.

This TV is my very first HDTV purchase, so to say my HD upgrade.

Sure, it isn't 1080p, but it gets up to 720p, which is, in my opinion, good enough for the money you'll spend on this TV. The menus are slick and simple to navigate and the inputs are all clearly marked. (Some of the inputs go in on the back, while others, like HDMI, plug into the side.)

To put it straight: If you are looking for a good intro or upgrade to HDTVs, then I'd really recommend this TV. It is perfect for a bedroom or for some living rooms. It is a sleek, good looking TV and is well worth the money spent on it.

"B+" LCD HDTV

I also have a Sharp 20 inch LCD HDTV (non-Aquos) which I have enjoyed for 6 months. I would give it an A-. The 20 inch was purchased to replace a 20 inch Sony Trinitron (analog tube TV). I really needed a bigger screen since I typically sit about 8-9 feet away from the screen. This new 32 inch LCD HDTV is just right. However, it seems to be MUCH darker than the 20 inch Sharp. I had to adjust the settings to get the screen where I wanted it. Now I feel the picture is just shy of a Samsung or Sony, but the Sharp price combined with the internal HDTV and QAM tuner pushed me to the Sharp. It is easy to use and the stand is quite strong (no wobbling). Overall I am very happy with my Sharp TVs.

Sharp 52" LCD TV - love it!!!

I bought the Sharp 52" LCD LC-52SB57UN from Walmart for $898. Some sites have this at 780, but it is full 1080. It was priced too low to pass up. The picture quality is awesome. The kicker is when we attached our laptop with the HDMI cable to view videos from Youtube - it was much better than we anticipated. The TV is extremely light. My brother-in-law and lifted the TV onto my wall with ease. We saw a NFL game in HD and could actually see the words on the quarterback's wrist band.

Size does MATTER!!! The only thing I regret is that it is not a 60" TV.

I would definitely buy this TV at a higher price.

Great TV!!

[...] The picture is incredible. Watching Football is crystal clear and a PBS show with sweeping vistas is striking in its clarity. I love all of the different input options including HDMI, SVGA, Computer Analog... I hook my laptop up to it and stream internet videos to it (no more sitting at my computer desk to watch TV). The screen menu is fairly easy to use. Other website reviews complained about the sound. I have everything running through my surround sound so can't comment on the sound from the TV.

One drawback is that the remote control which comes with it isn't very good (sometimes the buttons stick). When you buy the TV I suggest getting cables at [...]. They are a fraction of the cost of what you can buy in the store.

I was worried that a 52 inch would be too big (I sit approximately 8-10 feet from the TV.) It isn't too big. I am glad I got this size.

Great TV

I bought this TV from Walmart on sale for $898.00 and couldn't be happier. It was definitely worth getting there at 6:00am since there was a long line and only a few TV's. I already had a Sharp 32" 720p set and loved it, so I trusted I would at least be as happy with this 52" 1080p set. I have gotten rid of Time Warner Cable and put up a DB8 antenna and I am amazed at the picture I get. Cable was never this crystal clear, or should I say "Sharp". And now since my signal is "over the air", my Windows 7 Media Center PC records all my favorite shows in their glorious full hi-def goodness!
This TV rocks!!! Whether I'm watching an "over the air" signal or playing a Bluray movie, the picture is absolutely beautiful. I can't help but hit pause from time to time just to take in the scenery. The only weakness I see in this this set is the sound quality of the on board speakers. They sound very "tinny". But that would never even be a consideration for me since I run the sound through my 5.1 sound system anyway. Why would anyone spend the money for a "big screen" and then use nothing but the on board speakers? You're missing half the true experience. If you don't have a good stereo at least spend another $50.00 and buy some 2.1 computer speakers with a sub woofer and run your sound through them.
Bottom line....This TV is a keeper.

Customer Review :

Sharp Aquos LC52D43U satisfied with Non HD quality

My primary goal was to get a large screen TV that is good with regular Non HD channels because most of the channels that my family watches are Non HD being Indian language channels which may take a few years to convert to HD. So I recently purchased an LCD from a big name TV maker 46 inch 1080P and did not have a very good image when viewing Non HD Indian satellite channels. I am not sure if this is just an issue with that particular set or with the model itself. I returned that TV and got a Sharp LC52D43U and am much satisfied with the image of Non HD channels. The packaging, the stand and overall externals also looked quite good. I cannot rate the reliability of the Sharp TV because I have had it for just a week but the picture quality for Non HD is good. There are two dimensions to enjoying a large screen TV. One is the larger image and the other is the better quality / higher resolution picture. If you watch a lot of Non HD content, it is best to ask the sales person to hook up the TV of interest to an antenna or regular cable and test the set out for the picture quality because there are a lot of large screen 1080P TVs out there that have poor picture quality for Non HD channels.

Great budget TV

I have had this tv for about a year now. I'm very happy with it. When I was contemplating which tv I would buy, I had to figure out if I wanted 720p or 1080p, or if I wanted a plasma or LCD. I decided to go with an LCD because I didn't want my tv watching or video game playing to be hindered by the thought of burn in or image retention. Although it really isn't that big of an issue, especially nowadays, I figured that a small drop in picture quality would make up for me not worrying about it.

Anyway, I really didn't have an idea of what TV I wanted, but I wanted it to be cheap and big, and that pretty much ruled out 1080p. Also, the fact that at this size, if you are sitting back 10 feet or so, you won't even be able to notice the difference between 720 and 1080.

Anyway, I ended up seeing a really good deal on this last year, and although I couldn't find much info on the set online, anything I could find was favorable. I bought the tv and I am very happy with my purchase.

The image quality is great (for HD and Blu ray). One thing that is necessary though is to sit far enough away. If you are sitting within 7 feet, the picture can get pixelated, but if you are more than 10 feet away, it looks great. The colors seem to be pretty accurate, and the black levels seem good for an lcd.

Standard definition is pretty good as well, but there is a serious quality difference when you flip between hd and standard channel (which is to be expected). Also it takes maybe 2 seconds to switch between a standard channel to an hd channel. This is because it has to switch to 480i to 720p. Not too big a deal, but it is worth a mention.

One con I can think of is the sound quality. The speakers on the tv don't get that loud, and it can sometimes be hard to hear dialogue on a dvd or blu ray if there is a fan going or if there is any background noise at all. The volume goes from 0 to 60, but it seems as though the sound doesn't increase much at all between 30 and 60. This was only a problem with dvd's and blu rays playing from my ps3 though, because when I was watching digital cable it was always loud enough. I ended up solving this problem by just getting a sony surround sound system though.

Also, this only has 2 hdmi ports. This isn't really too big of an issue because hdmi splitters can be bought for cheap, if you ever even need an extra hdmi port.

Overall I would say that my experience with this tv has been great. There are definitely tv's with better picture, but if you can get this tv for around 1,000 I would say it would be a steal. As long as you give yourself 10-12 feet of viewing distance (which really you should do with any tv this size), this tv looks great. Honestly, unless you are willing to pay hundreds more for a slight increase in picture quality, you should check this out.
