Excellent LCD [Posted on 2007-07-04]
This is an excellent TV with great picture quality. The only issue is its warmth. Since I have this set placed in bedroom, the heat is unbearable especially in the summer. Anyone experience the same problem?
Outstanding set [Posted on 2007-07-04]
I didnt buy it from amazon(sorry).I got mine at [...] and i really got a good deal on it.They had a coupon for [...] dollars off so ii got it for [...] which to me is a bargin for a set of this caliber.I dont have a single complaint.The picture is just wonderful even with a standard picture.The hd looks amazing.I didnt see a problem with sound at all.Its in our bedroom so who is going to be turning it up loud anyways.Heat was not an issue and my directv works fine thru the hdmi input.I have an oppo upconvert dvd player and regular dvds look like a whole new dvd.The picture with that dvd player was just beautiful.I hated to toss my dvd collection and buy hd dvds so i bought the oppo upconvert and its wonderful.It really makes a big difference.Buy it at [...] if you can and try to use the coupon if its still available.I couldnt be more happy with the set.So far so good,knock on wood""
Beautiful TV [Posted on 2007-08-24]
Its really hard to express the difference watching on a high quality hdtv makes. This is a beautiful brilliant TV with tons of inputs and great quality. I've owned for 2 months with no problems. Some complain about the size of the remote and the speakers, but both seem plenty adequate to me. I would recommend this tv to anyone.
Very solid and worth every penny! [Posted on 2007-10-07]
OK first off, i did a lot of shopping when i was looking into getting myself an LCD for the first time.
I got this unit at another site for around 700 bucks shipped.
Mostly play xbox 360 on it and all i can say is "WOW", every game on it is light years ahead of my old CRT
The HD channels are perfect too and the only con i can think of is that Standard Television isnt so clear, but that is a small price to pay when thinking of the big picture
Sharp's 6ms Refresh Rate Makes A Big Difference. [Posted on 2007-10-29]
In my opinion, the Sharp LC-32D43U and LC-32D42U provide the best overall value for the money, when compared to comparably priced 720p native resolution LCD TVs.
I have owned the Sharp LC-32D42U for 4 months now and I couldn't be happier. The Sharp LC-32D42U and LC-32D43U 720p TVs are identical, with these exceptions: The 42U has a low-gloss frame with a silver base while the 43U has a high-gloss screen frame with a black base. (The 42U is a lower cost warehouse version and the 43U is a higher cost department store version.)
One downside to these Sharp TVs is that they reportedly do not do well deinterlacing or recognizing 3:2 pulldown when fed 1080i signals. However, when fed their native 720p signals, these TVs perform beautifully. Some reviews also mention subpar standard-definition 480i video processing (I rarely watch analog TV or VHS); fewer picture adjustments than many LCDs (this has not presented a problem for me); inability to change aspect ratios with HDMI sources (this won't bother purists who appreciate a movie director's intended aspect ratio). When fed a 720p signal from a cable or satellite box, HD reception looks great. (Sharp also recommends that the 720p output setting be used with Blu-Ray and HD players.) I have not experimented with the computer input, but most people report being satisfied with it.
In spite of its faults, the main attraction of these two Sharp LCDs is that they produce outstanding picture quality with 720p input: Deep blacks, vivid contrast, accurate colors and a very fast 6ms refresh rate which makes a big difference during fast motion scenes. When viewed next to comparably priced Sony, Samsung and Toshiba LCDs with 8ms refresh rates during fast panning and other fast motion scenes, the clarity of the Sharp TVs is vastly superior. This fast refresh rate is also the reason that many gamers prefer the Sharp TVs.
Unlike several other LCD brands, all of the Sharp digital processing (automatic brightness, enhanced picture contrast, black level expansion and digital noise reduction) can be disabled. The LC-32D42U can be found in the $700 range, making it a much better buy than its higher priced fraternal twin, the LC-32D43U. Also, the industry trend toward low-gloss LCD screen frames (such as the one found on the LC-32D42U) makes good sense, because black matte screen frames do not reflect room light or show dust and fingerprints.
Admittedly, the Sharp TVs do not have the greatest sound. The Sharp TVs can be configured to variable stereo audio output (simultaneously muting the TV's internal speakers) and the volume level of external self powered speakers (I am using an Altec Lansing 3-piece computer speaker system) can be controlled with the Sharp remote. Wireless headphones can also be used, with full volume control from the remote and the TV also has an optical output which can be used to direct digital sound to a surround sound receiver.
