Customer Review: Good TV with a couple of negatives
Got this TV at an Atlanta area MART that sells many BRANDS (hint, hint), and got it at an excellent price (after salesperson cuts and rebates, got it for just over $900). Its a different model number (store-specific), but the same exact TV.
Here are lists for the pros and cons:
PROS
- Excellent picture, and easy to plug-n-play
- The TV menu/options has a TON of pick-and-choose settings, which leads to an endless amount of tweaking to get the best possible picture.
- The set looks nice mounted on the wall.
- The sound for TV/Cable is excellent.
- The HD picture for the cable is crisp and clear!
- Energy save features are great (auto-shut off, signal detection, automatic brightness adjuster, etc).
CONS
- Main Con: The picture from playing Blu-Ray movies (connected with a proper 1080p HDMI cable from a PS3) is not as crisp as some other TVs I have seen. I’ve been told that this is most likely due to the size of the TV, as larger TVs would be able to deliver ‘crisper’ detail (as the 1080 horizontal lines wouldn’t be as compacted).
Was told by a certain store’s ‘Dork Group’ that at 37′, 1080p is only JUST more noticeable that 720p would be. They said in order for 1080p to be fully observed, a screen size of 42′ and greater is best.
- The sound of both blu-ray and regular DVDs leaves something to be desired. I don’t have a home theater set-up, and the speakers on the TV don’t seem to handle the dolby digital sound as well as they should (can watch TV with volume in the teens…need to hike it up to the upper 30’s to mid 40’s for DVD/blu-ray playback). I think its just an issue with the TV’s ability to compress the higher audio input.
- All inputs are in back of the TV (not side-mounted). Thus, if your TV is mounted to the wall, once its there, changing out cords and plugs is a challenge w/o removing the TV from the wall.
- On-TV buttons (power, volume, etc) are on top of the TV. Again an issue if the TV is mounted on the wall.
- On occasion, it takes the TV up to 10 seconds to read a new signal. For instance, playing a Blu-Ray disc, the rating screen is typically in 720p resolution. The TV will show ‘lag’ in decoding the 720p signal vs. the 1080p of the rest of the disc.
Sharp made a nice HDTV here, but the designing of the TV is quite flawed and poorly executed. Plus, the information about the 1080p resolution on this size TV is a little off-putting. I recommend saving a few hundred bucks and going with the 720p model for the 37′ inch set. Also, be sure to consider needing additional speakers in order to fully enjoy DVD/blu-ray sound.
Customer Review: Nice TV
Great buy, very satisfied with size, unless its right next to a 40 or 42 inch tv you would never know its a tad smaller. Wonderfully clear picture, I use a digital antenna and pick up amazing free digital local TV. Really really impressed by picture quality.

If I had a hammer, I wouldn t be watching TV (Tacoma News Tribune)
Spade bits. Nylock nuts. Oriented strand board. These are my new best friends, traveling companions on the long, winding, perfectly landscaped path that leads to the perfect renovation: the home where toilets flush with a whisper, wall colors subtly echo the muted weave in the sectional sofa and a cultured-stone water feature bubbles in the backyard.
