I needed a 32" to fit into my entertainment center, with top-of-the-line picture quality, HDMI-in ports, and useful options with intuitive controls. I also wanted name-brand reliability.The Sharp LC32D62U fit the bill perfectly. It has everything the standard user and many technophiles could need, and without too many of the extra useless gimmicky options that only serve to make your life difficult. I'm very pleased.
I definitely recommend this TV to anyone looking to upgrade to 1080p in a small affordable package. What are you waiting for. A Sony or Samsung will give you a nice picture too, but Sharp was cheaper, and as much as i love the 1080p pic versus the SD, i couldn't tell that any brand was superior to the other.
All this throught a component cable too; someone told me at circuit city that you couldn't get 1080p through component, but Microsoft's website said you could, and I am viewing xbox games in 1080p.so.it always pays to get a 2nd opinion. This tv is small; you'll want to be no more than 8 feet away, but it is perfect for a gaming tv or a bedroom tv. I mainly use this to play xbox 360 games which look unbeleivably better in 1080p than 480fuzz.
So price and inputs were the big one for me. 5 inputs, with two hdmi, gives you a bunch of options, and for 800 bucks, this tv is a very good bargain. I will be in the market for a 52 aquos for the living room very soon.
1080i comcast cable is extremely bright and vivid over the 480i standard cable. :)
I decided to get a new TV only because my 15-year-old Sony Triniton bit the dust in my last move. I will preface by saying that I'm not the pickiest person when it comes to TV. That said, this one blew me away. I was pretty fond of that old clunker, but now I'm over my grief. The picture quality of the Aquos is amazing, no dead pixels, and the order was processed very quickly.
The PC connectivity with DVI to HDMI is excellent and is easily configured. The control settings on the TV allow for a wide range of options. The picture of the Aquos from Sharp makes for a well defined picture with a nice viewing angle. Built in speakers have a little trouble with bass sound that will cause a slight rattling but provide very nice HD sound. Picture adjustment is first class, with audio configuration having a moderate number of options available. The different viewing modes allow for wide screen content to be viewed without side empty black space on the screen. Gaming isn't a problem on this TV with the PS3 or XBOX 360. Finally the built in surround sound provides for an incredible viewing experience with movies with any home speaker system.
the menu options are very limited for such a fine TV.- You will not be able to connect a PC to it. I have had this TV for over a year now. you have to buy a converter, which costs about $200.- the speakers are below average. Never had a problem. The picture is great and HD over antenna is amazing.The Bad: - not very customizable. you may need to buy a set of external speakers.If these minor things dont matter to you, dont look any further. best picture out there.
