Sharp Aquos 46-inch 1080p - Thoughts?

[MarkJ801]

I went to RC Willey to look at their tv's, and they had this one for sale at $1299. It seems like a great price, and from looking at the display, it looked like a really nice tv. Anyone have any opinions on this one?

not a fan of sharp...seems they have alot of clouding issues...good price though.........if u grab, make sure you have a good warranty

[Jesterkeeters]

I love that TV and have never had a problem with it...I also have the 42 inch and it's great!!

I have 2 Sharp TV's = See sig.

I love my 46" D64 model. No problems whatsoever. I've read lots of FUD about the banding etc. but I haven't experienced any Sharp with these problems. My friend purchased a 46" Sharp from Costco with a 7500:1 contrast ratio and it looks quite nice, D64 series has 10,000:1. 2 HDMI ports compared to my D64's 3 HDMI ports.

I'm a Sharp fanboy I guess and will purchase again!

I thought I read here on this site that Sony would be purchasing panels from Sharp. I'll have to look up that thread again.

Sharp's can have banding issues, Sony and Samsung have clouding issues...Tv's aren't perfect ya know

Like it or not, Sharp builts the best panels, and yes, Sony uses them too, it's just a matter of software mainly.

I have 4 Sharp tv's @ home, none of them have issues

My parents have one of the 2006 models in 52" 1080p, I like it despite what some critics say.

Speaking as an 32" 1080p Aquos owner: get a plasma TV. Unless your viewing room has all sorts of light sources you can't control, plasma is the way to go if you care about PQ.

I have a 42, and got my parents a 42" sharp. I love em. The only reason i didn't get another sharp when i upgraded my TV is that my friend got me a good deal on my samsung and where he works they do not sell sharps or sony.

i have a 42" aquos 1080p as well. I have had it since October of last year and have had zero problems with it i love it!

Save up for a Pioneer or Panasonic top of the line Plasma. Panasonic's just released a THX certified plasma. In this certified panasonic plasma, there is a picture setting called THX that will give your tv a professionally calibrated tweaking. CNET reviewed the monitor and said that the picture setting of THX was soooooo good that they didn't even need to really touch the picture controls at all. The picture was darn good the way it was right out of the BOX...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I've been looking for....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

So should you.

Don't skimp when it comes to tv's, or else you'd be either unhappy, spending more on a replacement television later on, or missing out on true picture enjoyment.



Thank you.
