Gentleman: Most of my trouble with this unit is its manual that is very poorly written and miss some important information. Its very confusing you have to go from pages back and fort so by the time you get your information you’re confused. It doesn’t have a glossary of terms and the subjects are not properly described. As far as the TV its picture es very average and it seems that the units in the stores are made specially for display and the one that you receive is different. I choose the name “Sharp” because I had a couple of TVs in the past that were excellent and very reliable.

I bought this TV because of the built in Blue ray player, which seemed like a nice function. If you’re an NHL fan, this TV is terrible. It can’t keep up with the play. Picture is constantly blurry.
It is being returned and I’ll keep shopping for something better.

On April 7, 2009 I purchased 2 sharp TVs from Sharp Direct Sharp model# LC52BD80U that do not work. I received the TVs on April 28 and have had problems out of the box. I have one TV that won’t turn on at all (no sound, no picture) and the other one TV that doesn’t have sound stopped functioning after a week or two. Sharp sent a 3rd party repair crew out on May 16, 2009 to repair the set and it functioned for about 30 minutes and then stopped working again. I have been speaking with customer service since May 16th about these issues.
On May 19th Candice (manager) agreed to send me a new TV set that would ship in about 4 business days. On May 27th (after 6 business days) I finally spoke with Sharp customer service since I had not received any status and they told me that they don’t know when they can ship a new set to me. I was originally told the TV would ship in 4 business days, apparently wrong information! I received a call back in which customer service explained that this TV is not in production and is on hold and might be discontinued since it is a 52″ set. I purchased both TVs on April 7, received them on April 28 and have made dozens of phone calls to Sharp with no resolution to any issues.
Finally, on June 8, 2009 (after almost one month of trying to get a resolution) I finally spoke to Sharp customer service and they agreed to refund my purchase of the two TV sets in full. They said I would get an e-mail resolve notice that I would then respond back to. At that point NVC (the shipping company) would contact me within 48 hours to pick up the TV sets and take care of all of the packaging since I only have one box. I asked Sharp when I could expect the e-mail and they told me in one day. On June 10, 2009, still no e-mail resolve notice received so I called and spoke with Latrice. Latrice said that she sees the notes that I will get a full refund and the e-mail should come in about a day. After contacting sharp again on June 13, 2009 I received another e-mail from Ali Mendez that said that the notice would come via e-mail on June 15, 2009. It is now June 17th and I still have not received the resolve e-mail. I want nothing more than to get rid of these TVs, get my full refund, and go buy another brand.
I can understand that electronics have bad lots but the horrible customer service I received has made me stay away from Sharp products in the future where I would have been a loyal customer had this been handled differently.
The TV looks nice on the wall but too bad it won’t turn on. I am going to buy a Sony or Samsung!!!!

I bought this when Amazon had it for sale for $1380 or something. Great price for a good quality TV with a built-in blu-ray player. My only beef is with the blu-ray player. Its pretty sluggish and does not play my DVD+R discs.
I know almost all blu-ray players manufactured so far are pretty slow to load up so i guess this one is not too different.
Also appreciated the free white-glove delivery that was included in the buy. I was thinking free delivery meant that they would drop the TV off at your door so i was very happy to learn that they would set it up for me.
Overall, i’m very satisfied with the product and love the picture quality. I have the dynamic contrast feature enabled and the improvement in image quality is pronounced. The contrast improves significantly.

We are happy enough with our Sharp t.v. Yes, loading a blu ray takes longer then one would ever think it should. Please be aware of that before you buy it. But the big problem is the sound. The speakers are in the back of the t.v. When you put in a blu ray you can turn the volume as loud as it goes and you still cannot understand what the words are. I have sent an email to sharp t.v. with no response. What a surprise. I will continue trying because there is no excuse for this t.v. Do not buy one!
