We have had our eye on Sharp TVs for a while. I started looking at a similar item in walmart LC46SB54U only to find out the reason it was so cheap is because it was only 60hz. So I started looking at the 120hz Sharp TVs. The picture in Walmart was enough to get me started.
I found this model on Best Buys site and was a little concerned there were no reviews of it on here or Best Buy, so I did all my own research. It had everything I wanted; PC input, HDMI, Component in and Optical out. I kept my eye on the prices for a while and finally jumped on it when it came down to $1212 and then we added the free Blu Ray player. AWESOME DEAL!
The TV itself is very handsome. Clean frame with nothing flashy. We used the base for a short time until we picked up a new stand that hung the TV.
Initial impressions; awesome picture. But we knew this ahead of time by finding the same model in the Best Buy store. Picture was either just as good or better than most others on the wall. 46" is perfect for our room.Some mention the sound is weak, I cant comment on this as I do not use the TV's speakers as we are hooked into the home theater all the time.
DVD impressions, I was a little disappointed in the quality. Although this is not the TV's fault I am still using a 4 year old Sony DVD player with 480p Progressive scan. I am told they will look better on the upconverting Blu Ray player.
Still waiting on the Free Blu Ray player, but I imagine it was on back order, so I cant comment on Blu Ray picture yet either.
I also have this TV hooked into my computer via VGA cable to watch movies from the computer. Sure they are not as high quality, but I really cant complain.
The only downside I have found with this TV is there is no clock function to be viewed on the screen. I miss that from my SD RCA 32". The only reason I am giving this TV 4 stars is nothing is perfect and can always be improved upon. I would give it 4 1/2 if that was an option.
I am not disappointed in this TV. We did our research and believe we have found the best product for the money. I have also compared this to my Father in law's HD 60" DLP and a friends 52" DLP and the picture again is just as good or better. You will not be disappointed!
