Customer Review: Best Price for the Goods
I shopped a long time for TVs as you probably are doing right now. As of the second week of June, this was the best priced TV for the features and size by far.

But you already know that.

So I’ll try and help with your apprehensions. The TV arrived neatly packed and pristine. Not a mark on the box. The delivery man had me inspect and sign-off, which I would have insisted on anyway.

Switched on, hooked up an XBox 360 via HDMI and sat back in awe. Not a single dead pixel as people often fret over moderately priced sets.

The picture is stunning, although you do have to switch off the silly LCD Power Conservation option (OPC). It does not at all read ambient light well and dims the set too low. I still have to play with it perhaps.

Overall the set definitely shines as its spec sheet would lead you to believe. Action is blur-free and crisp. Colors are bright. Contrast is, forgive me, Sharp.

The only criticism I have, which is not that bad anyway, is that it does require a significant calibration to look its best. Saturation, contrast, brightness, etc, all have to be significantly changed out of the box. The easiest and cheapest way to do this is to use any THX certified DVD (Pixar, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc) and use the THX Optimizer. Else, you could use Avia Home Theater 2.0 which is more cumbersome. If you are truly scared of electronics, I supposed you could pay the local TV shop to come and steal your money to calibrate it.

That being said: If you are sitting here wondering why this TV doesn’t cost more than 6ave is selling it for, BUY IT. You’ll win.
Customer Review: Very satisfied
I’ve had the TV for about a month now and am extremely satisfied. While shopping for a 52 inch set, I compared the Samsung LN52A650 and the Sony KDL-52V5100 with this Sharp product. After countless comparisons I decided to go with the Sharp for several reasons: 1) Picture quality was on par or even slightly better than the other compared sets; 2) Price was significantly less (snagged mine for $1,351); 3) Had all of the extras I needed without paying extra for those I didn’t want or need.

Couple of things you should be aware of: The built in speakers are very weak. Before setting it up with my home theater, we had to have the volume on full blast to hear what was going on. Also, the Sharp Aquos remotes are just kinda cheap. I knew about both of these issues going into this purchase but didn’t mind as I had a theater to hook up to and a nice universal remote to use.

All in all, this is by far the best bang for your buck for a 52 inch lcd tv.
