first off, i [almost] never leave reviews for anything, but since this was a major purchase for me i thought i’d drop a couple pennies with my experience…
not a bad product, at least according to the various user reviews online; but NOT for me~
i just received this tv this AM and although i was very excited to get it up and running, after everything was said and done, i can’t say that i am satisfied with my purchase… upon initial inspection i’ve found four dead/bright pixels!! this is such a surprise to me because i’ve bought 3 other televisions prior to this one in the past 18 months [all vizios: vw37l, vo37l, and vl420m] and NONE of them had any pixel issues what-so-ever…
the tv i had before was the vl420m and that tv was actually very good, imo… truthfully, i wish i did not get rid of it… sure, this sharp’s got a bigger screen [+10"], but the positive ends right about there for me… the led back lighting is nothing to write home about, nothing like i had expected; pictures look washed out, especially at off-axis viewing angles greater than 45-degrees or so… i was expecting a more vivid picture, more “pop”, since i am some-what a fan of the SOE…
the speakers are a joke, but it’s dumb to expect anything great from ANY television’s built-in speakers… i run sony’s ht-ct100 sound bar, so it’s all good…
as others have mentioned, the aquosNET feature is useless, sluggish, seems tacky and unpolished…
this television has more than enough options to fine tune the picture to the user’s exact liking, but for me [and probably +90% of the general public], it’s TOO MUCH; an overkill… i have probably read almost every review/forum threads regarding this model and most people gave great inputs, so i decided to go ahead and pull the trigger… turns out that this tv is not for me, should have just stuck with the budget-brand vizio, which is more than enough for me… i hate the fact that the vga input only allows limited number of resolutions [1920x1080 not being one of them, which was available on my last set], so i had to get a dvi -> hdmi cable but i think i got a bad cable or something since the screen is super distorted when i use it… i did not want to exchange for a new cable and all that crap since it was only ~$10 online… ultimately, i ended up running @ 1360×768, b00!!
this model is known to emit slight buzz/hum from the rear of the unit and some people have complained about that, but luckily mine does not make any noise [yet, at least], but that is irrelevant to me since i wish i can return this tv without any penalties; just thought i’d throw that out there…
tv does not handle motion too well either, and i’m not talking about super high rate stuff like football games, just some action scenes from a movie, is just “OK,” not great… i’m not sure if having the 240Hz feature will improve this, but i guess it doesn’t really matter; vizio’s 120Hz > sharp’s… imo, of course…
i paid ~$1300AR for mine, exactly double the price of my vl420m i bought back in SEPT/09; wish i can take it all back :[
bottom line: i was expecting to see a significant improvement in pretty much every aspect of picture quality compared to the vl420m, but i was wrong, VERY wrong !!
* * * I'M NEVER BUYING SHARP TV AGAIN * * *
or any other "premium" brands, for that matter; 99% of people CAN'T tell the difference, they only front since they have obviously paid more for their set and feel the need to justify the higher price tag...
not to sound like a vizio fan-boy, but people can't hate on their value and excellent products [at least for my past three purchases]… no wonder they’re the fastest growing hdtv company !!

Unfortunaly I am not very “tech” savy… matter of fact I dont watch much TV… My previous TV was still a “council TV” that works great but with the new home and Great Room the “old Council” just was to small of a picture to see across the room. I just finished watching the Series “WWII in HD” on the History Channel and the view was awesome (not the content of the movie this was a Saddening Experince for the whole World with them amount of lives that were lost, but a needed Event for the Freedoms we still have in this Country today)

Well, Nice picture, doesn’t handle sports very well. It can’t take the quick motion. That was surprising since I hadn’t noticed that in my research. But here’s the real problem. Sharp says this product is internet enabled, but apparently that only means once you hook it up to the internet, you can only get the content they allow on their Aqous net, content that is redundant to anything you can delivered on the TV. You think you might be able to type in a url and navigate to a website? Even the operation manual and software deceptively imply that. It gives you the ability to add bookmarks, except that you can’t type anything in since there is no software keyboard. Oh, the manual has a picture of a software keyboard which it says you use when you are “editing an input screen or specifying the ethernet settings used for accessing the internet” but this software keyboard is nowhere to be found. It implies that once you enter an input field the screen magically appears. Of course the only input field is the “Add bookmark” and nothing happens. There is no URL field. They spend time talking about what happens when you select a link, but there is no enabled link in any of the content, not even the advertising. Very strange. I saw some Youtube videos where company execs and engineers talk about the Aquos net, but they never actually say you surf the net. Only that they have content delivered that way. Subtle and tricky. Is this why 6 ave is selling them so cheap. They got a shipment of lemmons that have this software malfunction and they are not telling anyone? Something’s amiss. . .

Bought this TV as I really liked the picture quality compared to other sets.
I’ve owned Samsung LN-52B750 before and got rid of it due to poor viewing
angle, lots of motion artifacts, unacceptable lag for gaming and bad shadow details.
Saw this TV in a store and really liked it.
This TV has none of the shortcomings of the B750 – better viewing angles,
virtually no lag. Contrast is also very good without loss of the shadow details.
It would be definitely a keeper, BUT…
The first time I’ve turned it on it was extremely bright (thanks to the LED backlight).
So I’ve tried to adjust the backlight to set it to a lower level, but sliding the
backlight control had no affect. Swithing the OPC on did nothing either.
I was surprised, since I own another 5 year old Sharp that has the same UI control
and never had any issues with it.
After about 35-40 minutes I’ve noticed that the backlight level stated to dim
and got to the level that was set in the menu. After a couple of days of investigating
this I’ve concluded that the TV needs to “warm up” time in order to control the backlight
and the OPC to work. That just did not make sense. So I called Sharp and they set over a tech.
The tech guy came, saw the problem and replaced power supply board – it did not help.
Then he replaced the main board – the TV did not power up after that.
He came back next week with another main board – same story.
He put the original main board back and left. After that I’ve called Sharp and they offered
to replace the TV. A week later the new TV came with EXACTLY the same problem.
What I’ve noticed later is that the colder is surrounding room temperature the more time it takes
for the backlight to work properly. At about 65-66F it takes around 40 minutes.
At 69-70 it takes about 15 – 20 minutes. I thought I had just a bad set, but it looks like
there is an issue with this model line now.
Note: This TV is super bright at the max backlight level and it just hurts your eyes when
trying to watch it in the dim environment or at night (plus all the blacks become grey).
So I’ve called Sharp again and asked for the refund. They were ready to send me a third TV.
It is a pity, I really liked this set.
P.S. I’ve found several people on the AVS forum who had the same problem and returned the sets.
