After 3 months, we are still wowed. This is my 3rd Sharp TV. The best of any flat-screen I've purchased. Superb picture. Unlike other reviews here, it keeps up with any sport. No problems processing fast images, baseball, football, tennis, motor sports, whatever. DVD and Blu-Ray is awesome. Up convert for DVD works well on this as well. Definitely better than standard DVD quality. It appears almost as good as full HD. Was worried disc player would not allow me to hang it on a wall mount. No problem. Plenty of clearance with this layout. All around phenomenal at a good value.

picture quality is excellent. sharp is an innovator in lcd technology and is well worth comparing to samsung or sony. it is a beautiful set and the built in blu-ray makes for less clutter. plenty of inputs and outputs. would recommend to friend.

Unfortuntaley the first one that showed up had lines running through the screen horizontally. I got a little bit of the run around with amazon regarding replacing it. They made me call Sharp and try to troubleshoot it ect. Afterward I had to place an order for a new TV and have it delivered and the old one picked up. They credited my initial purchase. Besides that I have a TV now that is awesome. The picture is incredible and the blue ray player is great as well. Great value just a bit of headache getting one that did not work initially. I would recommend it.

First the delivery and help was great. The picture is very clear (120Hz helps). The only problem I have with this unit is the FIRMWARE for the Blu-Ray is not up to date. This can be fixed by downloading the latest from Sharp. Problem is you either must have or must purchase a Flash/Thumb drive without any programs. If you purchase a new one check it out and delete any preloaded ones. Once the new firmware is loaded ALL of your Blu-Rays with work. I would suggest a person who is not used to PCs and downloads have a friend do it. If you call Sharp support they will tell you exactly what you need to do. Print the instructions from the site and you should have not problems. Remember if any other programs are on the drive it will not work in the Blu-Ray player. Now back to the TV itself. Love the power saving features. The on screen data is great. You know if the programs is 1080I, 720P, 480P, 480I. If you read the booklet you will find this unit has so many features to make it a unit which should last a long time and be useful for a long time. Remember one thing, if you want a TV you can tilt, it is not recommended and the Blu-Ray might not work. One last thing, no separate unit messing up the wall mounted unit looks.

I love the size and the look of the picture when viewing HD channels. The shipment was on time with no problems and the delivery carrier took the product out the box assisted with hooking up the cable and plugging the TV up to ensure it was working properly. He even set up the TV for cable and the viewing options. The one thing I didn't expect is the slow response when switching from cable input to DVD. There's also a short delay when changing channels. I assumed that since this is an HDTV then it's like a computer with lots of drive and memory space so it moves faster but no there is a couple of seconds delay, approx. 3-5 seconds but over all I love the TV and would recommended to anyone as a great purchase like I said excellent picture.
