SHARP AQUOS 42 in. TVStrengths: Surprisingly light for its size (66.2 lbs). Low power consumption (247W). Has V-chip for parental control. Aesthically pleasing - built-in speaker hardly noticeable; piano black finish looks eligant. Weakness: Default color and brightness/contrast settings needed adjustment but this is a matter of personal taste. Remote could have been a little smaller. This SHARP Aquos 42 inch TV is well worth the money. I got it for $1899 at Circuit City in ATL. I almost bought an LG but decided on this one and I'm glad I did. The picture quality with HD broadcasts and regular DVDs did not disappoint. Unfortunately my COMCAST set top box is only putting out 1080i. I can't wait until I can purchase an HD-DVD or Blue Ray player to really experience its native...

Great and Inexpensive 1080p LCDStrengths: Sensational picture, good sound, and the piano-black finish is elegant. Weakness: Picture fades at certain angles; picture adjustment required. I've had this TV over a month, and it was my first widescreen/flat-panel/hi-def set, so I was taking a major step up. Since I don't have a blu-ray or HD-DVD player I still have never seen a 1080p image on this set, but broadcasts on the HD channels like HBO or Discovery HD look simply phenomenal. Yeah, if you sit too close you can see the pixels working, but that's true of almost any hi-def...

True HDTVStrengths: Variety of Inputs, quality sturdy construction. Full resolution of HDTV. Weakness: Standard definition tv looks amazingly poor. Remote is large and clunky. Another reviewer commented that the shiny case of the TV was distracting, but I haven't noticed that to be a problem. The remote is too large. Full resolution TV looks absolutely incredible, but the lower-than plasma contrast ratio is noticeable at times. Standard TV looks like total crap. I think the integrated speakers are good, but I'm not an audio junkie. The onscreen menu looks polished and...

Best buy for your BuckStrengths: Excellent picture quality Weakness: Needs calibration out of the box Just an amazing TV, I've had it for a week now. Piano finish styling just adds that extra touch. Picture quality especially HD is excellent. I was considering the samsung 4096, but for about the same price you get an extra 2". I've seen both of them side by side and I couldn't see the difference. As many other review mention the factory calibration needs to be adjusted especially the backlight as...

Beautiful picture, very nice screen, sharp, clearStrengths: Crisp, clear HD picture Weakness: Not the TV's fault, there's just not adequate HD content. Can't just change aspect ratio and expect full-screen size of non-HD content to look as good as HD content itself. Make sure all pixels are there. Even one pixel out impacts the picture. Needed a replacement after 1 day (or we just didn't notice initially). Would definitely purchase again.

Awesome 42" 1080p LCD TVStrengths: HD programming and digital programming, like HBO/Showtime, just looks amazing on this beast. Xbox 360, HD-DVD, and Progressive scan DVD's upres reeally well on this TV. Menus are very intuitive. Weakness: Color calibration straight out of box is waay out of alignment. Too red and/or green. Ideally should ship with a $75 colorimeter. But adjustments can be made visually. Remote could have be improved. This TV was a steal @ Circuit City with a coupon i had. Was purchased for $1600! Retails for between $2200-$2400 normally. LCD TV's still dont quite compete against Plasma's in terms of TRUE blacks. But in all seriousness. I rarely look at the TV and say, "man i wish the blacks were blacker". The contrast ratio is obvious that its not true black because when u look @ the TV image against the...

Sharp Aquos 42-Problems with service.Strengths: Crystal clear picture. Weakness: It now does not work. 1.5 month after I purchased this TV it went dead. No picture. It has been in the shop now for three weeks and the repair parts are unavailable form Sharp. Sharp also will not replace the TV even though it cannot be fixed at the moment. I have gotten no help from the Sharp customer service and they state that there is nothing they can do. While the picture is great ,the service I have received...

Good with minor issuesStrengths: Large screen, lightweight for size, easy to install. Weakness: Shiny/reflective case and base. Huge remote. Inability to remove speaker. I've had this TV for only a week. I need to break out the manual and do some tweaking of the calibration. On many channels, there is a lot of red. I haven't hooked up an HD cable box yet. Normal television suffers from pixelation (as I knew it would). The great picture with regular DVDs makes me want to crank the volume to get more of a theather effect. Not sure why. :-) The Shiney case reflects...

Great 1080P HDTV for the priceStrengths: picture is excellent, stylish design, 2 HDMI inputs, digital audio output, nice cord routing, menu is easy to navigate Weakness: the factory picture settings are not good. within minutes I was able to get it looking great though. could use another S-video input but no biggie overall this is the best TV I could find for the price. other than having to tune the picture settings out of the box it was easy to setup. Ive only watched DirecTV in non-HD and DVD in 480i sofar but even that was good. im sure once I can feed it a 1080 signal it will really come to life. I really like the audio output. when you switch between dvd, satellite, ect the audio comes out the...

Great TV
Strengths: Great Color and Resolution, No Glare, Sexy and Sleek Look
Weakness: Could have more accessible inputs on front or side, Poor Factory Settings, No HDMI cables included but can buy for low price online at Monoprice or other
The factory settings on the Sharp are terrible with oversaturated colour and a cold blue tint affecting white objects on the screen like white shirts, documents etc, Fortunately with some considerable adjustment I warmed it up, adjusted the colour, contrast etc. Appearance : Yes, it looks beautiful. The "fingerprint friendly" glossy black bezel gives it a subtle classy look without becoming too...
