I could have rated 5 stars.
This model was heavily discounted as of April 09 and I paid just $820 at McMall in Santa Monica LA as a refurbished unit which was nothing but manufacturer’s clearence of excess production or previous model … and it was absolutely brand new unit. It is not even called Aquos but do not worry!
I spent so much time to reserach HDTVs and I would absolutely have chosen Sony Bravia W, Z, or XBR series if cost were no objective. Their picture on Blue Ray disc like Disney’s “Nature” is absolutely beautiful on Bravias to the point I can almost say “Artistic”. However the usage duration-hours- I watch TV and the souce I watch does not warrant spending so much money on “just a TV”. Simply put, our life is not there sitting on couch watching TV all day.
I can mention that I as well as my wife have been in art field for a long time and we have critical eyes not to mention good ears which demands quality music.
As I researched extensively, I found critical truth: Picture quality is largely depends upon source quality. Also today’s TVs are generally quite good regardless. However if you get TV larger than 36″ screen, you must have 1080p and the picture on regular definition broadcasting on large screen TV is totally unacceptable. I shall say at least progressive scan reg rez pic on reg DVD is the least you may endure with.
This model does not have more than 2 HDMI inputs but can be expanded easily by an adapter. The model is great for the money we spent. You spend more money on quality audio instead of being abducted by difference in the picture quality between great HDTVs. Of cource you see a big difference between TVs of best quality and lesser quality but they are big deal only upon side to side comparison at stores.
We have one of all time best selling Hi-end audio speakers called Vandersteen 2ci without subwoofer or center channel speakers for more than a decade and very happy. (sound quality is absolutely nothing to do with 2ch or 7ch) … we prefer quality over quantity. Whenever we have listened to Bose surround system in movie watching we felt our ears did bleed with the toy 3D effect! However, after getting 46″ HDTV, we found we felt the need of a sub woofer as well as center channel. I am expecting to spend $2k for both from Vandersteen but the sound quality matters so much more to us especially when we watch music concert DVD with Hi rez sound recording. This is a great chance for us to enjoy the full potential of our favorite music source – Super Audio CD Format and HD Audio CD format which unfortunatelly never grasped general public’s attention. People are mostly demonstrated with awful 3D toy sound effects with mass market sorround sound system but you will be alienated soon after coming back from a classical concert at Walt Disney concert Hall.
Unspoken truth – a really good hi-end sound system can have glimpse of real music while even the very best 1080p TV in the universe cannot possibly show the truth of a master piece oil painting. Spend a lot of money and buy a great LCD TV like Sony W series or higer only if watching movie is your life like movie director friend of ours but don’t carry away if you belong to median income family group with other things to do in your life! Expect spending at least a good sorround sound bar. Buying a good HDTV alone is just like having a dinner at a 3 star restaurant as you have cheap wine! Also we found 46″ TV is really small for movie watching anyway. We had to buy an articulate arm TV mount so that the screen would be closer to the viewing area and eyes. They are not cheap either.
Oh! By the way, I am cancelling TV subscription too. With HD option, the monthly expense is amazing! I intalled good TV antenna on the roof and will enjoy free HD. I will record HD programs on Tivo since my DVD recorder can no longer record new Over The Air Digital Broad casting. I will save nearly $1,000 evry year this way!!! Only down side is my baby can no longer watch Nogging and I cannot watch every NBA game but they may save our active time too! Just be careful not to buy any TV anatenna. Send personal email to antenna manufacturer with your home address and consult well bacause new Digital broadcasting will not use low VHF and high UHF frequency band but all anttenas sold have label of “Free HD”. They are happy to recommend a particular model for your location over “any model”.

This TV is pretty basic if you want to get a cheap HDTV, LCD. But as someone has mentioned before its not an AQUOUS so its proably made of cheap parts. Mine would no turn on one day and I had the power and OPC lights blinking. Called Sharp and they said its covered by warranty, they will send out someone. The guy comes does some check for like 2 minutes and says will need a circuit board and will be back in 3 days. He returns and the TV still has issues and now he says it will need another part. The company wastes too much of my time and they want you to be home. Sharp told me to coordinate with the service company. This sucks because I have had no TV for 15 days now. Don’t buy this TV get a SONY or SAMSUNG. My 4 year old Samsung TV still works after so much moving.

This tv set has only 1 good thing about it: picture quality.
Picture is excellent, blacks/whites really do make this tv stand out from the rest of the other brands.
The reason why i gave this a 2 star rating is because I’m into video games and I play my xbox 360 on this tv a lot and there’s a very annoying “blink out” whenever playing a game above 480p.
Now, I’ve read reports of sharp other sharp models having this issue, but was provided a firmware update (i guess enough people complained). Problem is, i’ve had the tv for a month now and so i’m unable to return for a refund/exchange.
Sharp does have a manufacturer warranty for 1 year after purchase, but i’ve contacted sharp and haven’t heard any replies to my inquiries. I’m very upset at this fact as I cannot fully enjoy the console i play the most.
Funny thing is, i use my xbox 360 using component cables and it seems like the problem lies within the component inputs trying to autodetect the cables/signal. HDMI is fine w/the ps3 (no blinking whatsoever), i’ve tested other component cables w/different types of equipment and have reproduced the problem.
I’m still waiting for a response from sharp, as I’ve call 9x already about it, was told “we’ll call you back” (along those lines); such horrid customer service.
Maybe I should’ve gone for a 42″ Sony XBR. Now that’s a company that hasn’t let me down (so far)…I felt like I betrayed Sony, but I had to choose a tv w/the better picture quality, only to sacrifice the quality of the product itself.
Next time, Sony, I’ll never leave you again.

I use this to watch cable TV including high def channels and a Wii and XBOX 360, plus a blu ray player. No problems with either, works 100% fine. I do not use it with a home theater system, just the native sound. I bought it on sale for somewhere around $850, it was excellent for the price. If you’re going to pay more for it though, I’d recommend shopping around.

I purchased this TV on Black Friday from the Navy Exchange for 800 buck no tax…. To me for the price I paid it is a great tv.
Pro:
Great TV for the price and a VERY Good Picture
Con:
The only real issue I have ever had is the same one everyone seems to have were devices connected via any other method than HDMI suffer from black out in which the TV loses sync for a second or two. It was really bad on the XBox until I switched to an HDMI cable and I havnt suffered this problem since.
