Customer Reviews:
Great Picture (while it lasts!).......2007-07-17
I usually don't bother writing reviews unless I find something that is exceptional. This is the rare one that happens to be exceptionally BAD.
Just like several other posters, I had my Aquos for a few weeks then it died. Just the two leds flashing in some pattern. The repair man took three trips to fix it over a two week period. The warranty just expired last month and the *!#@$#%& thing is just flashing leds again.
Judging from a quick Google search, If you get one that dies in the first month - exchange it - quick!
Slow Channel Changing.......2007-04-03
I originally bought this set because of the glowing reviews I read. The picture quality is excellent and the set itself is most attractive. The big problem in my household is the amount of time it takes for the channels to change. When switching from one channel to another it takes as much as 6 seconds to complete the change. Since we're channel surfers, this is completely unacceptable and I intend to replace the set soon (after 6 months). I called Sharp about the problem and they told me it was not something that could be fixed. Many people like to surf the channels and it is absolutely impossible with this set. Be warned!
High Defintion picture quality, beautifully designed, and amazing built in speakers........2007-01-04
This LCD is not calibrated out of the box so you need to tweak it to get the best quality. It is very easy to tweak this LCD using DVD called Digital Video Essentials, this DVD will guide you through many steps that will make this LCD reach peak performance. Sharp's HD 1080i amazing quality picture rivals my existing excellent Sony CRT television. Having used this LCD for the past 6 months I have not yet found more beautifully designed LCD than this Sharp Aquos LCD; it's eye candy, it has a nice black piano gloss color. The built in speakers are probably the best feature on this LCD. The sound is so real and full of low and high frequencies that it can compete with complete home theater speaker systems in music and movie reproduction. I only use the HDMI connection to this LCD for best picture transfer. The only thing I don't like about this LCD is that it is not big enough for my room. I am planning to sell this superb LCD to buy a larger Sharp Aquos LCD.
Be careful..........2006-08-22
I had assumed I was going to get my set professionally calibrated after I bought it, like I had done with my last TV. Sharp, however, has deleted the picture controls necessary for calibration, so the best picture you can possibly get by "knob twiddling" is far inferior to what can be produced by almost any other set. Sharp, of course, does not mention this in their literature, and none of the reviews that steered me towards this set in the first place mentioned it either. If you absolutely love the picture as you see it in the store, then go for it. But remember, the lighting and power conditions in your living room are not the same as in the store. The best I can do with the rudimentary controls Sharp supplies is a choice between slightly green faces and slightly pink ones.
Sharp Aquos has quality issues.......2006-06-16
Original message from June 2006:
Bought Sharp Aquos, loved it - great picture, sound. However, it died in one week. It would turn off by itself occassionally, and then a couple of days later it died for good. Only a flashing LED.
Looked on the internet for problems with Aquos, and saw a whole slew of people have issues. It dies for more than one reason. Sharp Customer support got me to take it to a local repair shop, and it took 4 WEEKS to get it fixed. Very frustrating experience. Brand new TV sitting at a repair shop for 4 weeks. There were several other Aquos (different sizes, models) sitting in the shop.
Once it was fixed, the picture and everything looks great. Based on what I gathered from various other reviews on different sites, it is a great design, but Sharp has quality issues. Don't know what percentage of the TV suffer the "infant mortality".
Update (Nov 5,2006)
In Sept, the TV started acting up again. In October, it died again for good. Sharp has agreed to exchange it with, I am assuming, a new set. Currently waiting on the replacement.
