There was a whole in the box and the screen was shattered. They would not send
me another TV until they received it back It was FedX’s problem, but the
vendor said it was mine. I did not reorder from them I ordered one from
QVC as I should have in the first place and received it before the other company aknowledged that that had received the broken one even though we had a signed note showing they had it
in hand. Took a lot of phone calls, to get a refund. Once again, I will order only items that Amazon packs or stick with the best customer service in the business, QVC.
Sincerely a disappointed,
Ann Whitney Great tv just don’t buy it here. QVC got to me pronto.

I have a Sony 32XBR in my living room – which is an excellent TV – highly recommend
I bought the LC-32D44U for a little more than half the price of the Sony for bed room
Hard for me to say how much better the Sony is to this one
I guess the Sharp is about 75% comparing picture and sound
Colors are ‘better’ on Sony – across the board
Shadow detail is better on Sony but not by as great a margin as color diff
Both are sluggish channel changing but Sharp is twice as slow
Mine developed a very annoying buzz emanating from the lower tv housing after about a week
Took the back off (sorta) and put little foam sticky dots wherever the back and front touched and buzz is gone
This tv is good for the money and am ok with the purchase – but – I wish I had of waited a little longer (saved up more $$) and got the 37XBR for liv rm and moved 32 to bed rm

Well I keep hearing good things but having bought one today I’m not at all impressed. If the shop is open on Sundays this is going back in the morning, simply as the picture quality is so poor.
It distorts horribly. If the camera pans across a room, you see things such as doors or windows, or people’s faces, changing shape.
At first I thought it was some kind of deliberate effect for the movie I was watching, as it’s like the view of a wide angle lens. Then when the movie ended, guess what? It wasn’t the movie, it’s the TV. Now maybe I’m using the “wrong” cables or something but I see no excuse for such distortion. The image quality is worse than our old CRT set.
Talking of cables, we’re unable to watch DVDs as it only has the connectors on the back for one unit at a time. Sure, there’s a bunch of other connectors but both our sat’ box and DVD player use the same red, yellow and white cables. This pile of C can only handle one set of such cables. Rather than buy more cables I’d rather buy a different TV. Oh, another thing, spent an hour or more digging around the house to find some suitable screws, as the screws for the stand were missing from the box.
I am deeply unimpressed. I should add I didn’t get this from Amazon but I doubt it would make any difference. I’m online right now seeing if there is any known solution or if it’s a common problem.

I bought the previous generation of this Sony TV model (slightly different exterior/remote control, otherwise exactly the same) and after ~10 months a few pixels starting dying, which I’m told is a consequence of LCD TVs- I would know if that is generally true, this is the only model I have ever owned. Long story short the company I bought the TV from replaced it because “pixel death” (regardless of quantity) fell under the warranty terms, and so they gave the newer version of that model which is this TV (Sharp Aquos LC32D44U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV). Again ~10 months later 1 or 2 pixels have starting going out. I guess I will learn to accept it (it’s hardly noticeable unless up close to the TV when it is 720p resolution). I also find the volume doesn’t quite go as high as I would like- probably a consequence on the small speakers on the bottom of the TV. After about the 30 setting (out of 60) it doesn’t seem to get much louder. Also when going from a really bright shot to a really dark one (in a movie or TV show) the screen will adjust its brightness accordingly and I haven’t figured out yet how to correct this. Other than that I think the TV is great, great controls and options for customization of different feature, great menus. Awesome picture in 720. Easy to use remote. Plenty of ports in the back for multiple systems/units to hook up to it.
