 "Great Product" 2009-12-15

Works right out of the box with all my Blueray and DVDs. Excellent picture (clear, bright, sufficient contrast) and good sound. Picture required adjustment but was easy enough. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Amazon's service is the best... especially the free delivery. picture quality and sound was great. great vallue. minor problem is Blue ray and DVD loading time is a little long but it is negligible. I saved money on buying a separate blue ray player and additional speaker system. fits our living room very well!

 "No 52" Model Available" 2009-10-06
By Barry Sato (Honolulu, HI)
The industry can't seem to find a market for ;arge format TVs with built-in DVD or blu-ray disc players. According to Sharp they never put the 52" model into production so I don't know how sellers can advertise it. The 46" model has been discontinued and I suspect that the whole series has been discontinued now.



The next biggest that i've found is the Westinghouse 40" LCD/DVD combo. Otherwise seems like 32" is the largets out there.

 "I would recommend this TV." 2009-08-24
By WisFan (Madison, WI USA)
We have had this TV for 3 months now and are very satisfied with it. We aren't high demand users and really everything about it has been fine for us. I mostly watch sports and the picture is great for basketball and baseball. Football season is just starting so I'm looking forward watching that on this TV. My only complaint (and the reason for 4 stars and not 5) is that the DVD player doesn't seem to play very many types of files/disks, even with updated firmware. It doesn't show things like jpg files or video files from my camera that play on other stand alone DVD players (non Blu-ray). Maybe all Blu-ray players are limited like that, I don't know. We get around it by hooking up a portable DVD player to the side AV jacks and watching them that way but it would be easier to just be able to pop the disks into the built in drive. Overall I think this is a great TV and I would recommend it.

 "Beautiful, Affordable Big Screen-This is a steal!" 2010-01-15
By Joshua M. Tucker
I cant say enough about how great this tv is. The new ultra brilliant color display with LED backlighting is superb and ive never seen a more clear cut, sharp, clear tv before. The color is amazing, the blacks are so deep but the rest of the color so vibrant and clear. The sound quality is great too. I mainly got this tv to watch blue ray movies and play my playstation 3 in HDMI and the picture quality in unmatched. I previously had a 32' Vizio LCD and this tv blows it out of the water. I highly recommend this tv to any gamer or anyone who loves to watch very action packed, graphic movies. This was a steal!

 "Great TV for the price." 2010-01-13
By H. Zalonis (So Cal)
My first impression of this TV was that it looked like a very large computer monitor. It isn't a looker that's for sure, but once you get past that it is a very good TV. It had no dead pixels and all of the functions are easy to use and work as advertised. I also have an older Samsung 40" LCD and this one beats it in image quality by a rather large margin. The set did require some tweaking to improve the picture quality, but was acceptable out of the box.



One caveat is that you can't use the analog PC input at the display's native 1920x1080 resolution, it's quite easy to work around with a DVI to HDMI adapter cable. Not many computers use the old VGA ports these days and I bet analog will not be supported at all on TVs in the near future.

 "Aquos 40" LED TV (narrowest bezel on a 40" TV)" 2010-01-10
By David Filgas (Thousand Oaks, CA USA)
We purchased this TV for a bedroom where the TV is in an armoir. The bezel on this TV is narrower than on any other 40" TV on the market right now which allowed us to fit the 40" SHARP TV in a space where only 37" TV's from other manufacturers would fit. The picture quality is great with the LED backlighting. The TV is a little slow to turn on when it has been off for a while (about 10 seconds to turn on in the morning). It's a great TV at a much better price than LED TV's from Samsung or Sony.

 "Sharpe Aquos LC40LE700UN HDTV" 2010-01-07
By Widmon Butler (Washington, DC, USA)
After playing around with the set up and add ons to this light weight, energy sipping entertainment center, I am very pleased overall.



Delivery was swift and the packaging excellent. The set is not the most beautiful. As for the picture, it was sharp with little blur; the blacks were deep. The colors require a little adjustment for flesh tones, however, the picture was so good that I have not been pressed as yet to do so. There are workarounds for component video receivers but it would help to own one with HDMI input/output jacks.



I have had two occasions to use the Yahoo widgets for the ethernet connection. It is my understanding that the ethernet connection does not provide general access to the internet. There are just these applets for weather, sports, stock quotes, headlines, etc. [Been waiting for a complete merger of PC/Hi Fi/Internet for more than ten years now; integration should be seamless.] I had to buy a router, cables and a Roku box to stream movies from the net. The PC interface needs work on these HDTVs overall, since HDTV-DVI and PC/VGA-XVGA video have incompatible formats. My PC/HDTV network is incomplete. The PC video is deficient in comparison with the digital sources. Many people may find the unscaled-shrunken PC display adequate. I am not satisfied with the quality of the PC display, using a VGA connector. I may order a pricy video scaler or replace my PC's video card. At $1089.00, this Sharp HDTV has been a satisfying purchase that delivers what was promised although it did not make the Must Buy Lists. Time will tell whether it is durable.

 "When it works, it's pretty O.K.... Sort of." 2009-12-23
By Jeff A. Simon (Detroit, MI USA)
The last straw has fallen and this camel's back is broken. Many times over the past five months I considered writing this review but was not frustrated enough[then] to sit down and devote the time to do so.



First of all...SAVE YOURSELVES!!! While there is still time.



I bought the Sharp AQUOS BD-HP22U 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player on July 22nd 2009. I chose the Sharp because I bought a Sharp AQUOS LCD Television last April and I thought the benefits of the Smart-Link system [or whatever] would be worth it.



NOT. I say again. *_NOT!_*



The picture is wonderful, but that is probably because the AQUOS television is wonderful. The Sharp AQUOS BD-HP22U 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player is the slowest piece of electronic hardware I have ever owned. It takes forever to load/read the discs. It takes forever to start up into play mode. It takes forever to search and scan the movies. A harsh breeze knocks it out of play mode and into a hover/pause limbo unlike anything I have seen. More time wasted and lost.



Wait, did I say limbo? I meant purgatory.



Because just like purgatory, you CAN get out of it. It just takes freaking forever. Maybe you are actually being REINCARNATED because _most_ of the time you have to start all over from the beginning.



There were many movies it had trouble playing. I had the most difficulty with WATCHMEN, INGLORIOUS BASTERDS and tonight, DISTRICT NINE which it would not play at all.



*UNABLE TO READ DISC* it kept telling me.



Then: *DISK TRAY IS OPEN* as it spat out the offending virgin disc.



I took the disc out, realigned it and then reinserted it.



*UNABLE TO READ DISC*.



I took it out, cleaned it, and then reinserted it.



*UNABLE TO READ DISC*.



I took it out, cleaned it again then took a vow of celibacy, [I really wanted to see that movie].



Just because I was without hope I then offered up the life of my first born child [it was two days before Christmas] if only the player would play the movie.



Then I reinserted the disc.



*UNABLE TO READ DISC.*



I took out the disc and then I took it out in this review. We haven't even touched upon my INGLORIOUS BASTERDS experience.



To recap: SAVE YOURSELF! SLOW. 5 MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION. *UNABLE TO READ DISC*.



I am *UNABLE TO RECOMMEND* this Sharp AQUOS BD-HP22U 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player to my worst enemy. Well, maybe to her. But everybody else should buy something else to play their Blue Rays. Maybe that company that invented the technology....



Tell your friends. SAVE YOURSELVES!



My AQUOS *Television* is REALLY very nice though.

 "Don't hesitate, get this TV! -- with caveats, of course" 2010-01-07
By William Atkerson (Missouri City, Texas USA)
I've lived with this TV for a about two months. We have three game consoles attached, incl. the Blu-Ray player as part of the Sony PS3. It is in our family room and is used several hours a day (I'm ashamed to admit).



On the plus side:



Fabulous picture, after some adjusting. There are a zillion adjustments on the TV, so if you spend some time, you can get a wonderful, uniform picture with great contrast and color saturation.



The black matte finish of the screen does away with all but the most severe (i.e., bright) light sources that might reflect from the screen.



Price.



Sharp Aquos brand.



No spotlighting or banding as one person mentioned -- very uniform lighting.



LOTS of inputs. (8 to be exact -- most, but not all are HDMI)



Easy to update firmware when available (did it yesterday).





On the negative side:



The built-in speakers. Way too soft, even on the loudest setting. Since we didn't want to have our stereo system on all the time, I attached an unused set of desktop computer speakers I had lying around the house. Now we have better sound than probably any built in TV speakers. Great solution that I recommend to anyone purchasing this TV. Of course, this is an issue with all flat screen TV's to some extent: tinny sound and lacking in volume, even for everyday use. (Get some computer speakers, preferably like those I have that do not have an on/off switch but switch themselves on/off when there is a signal. Piece of cake.)



All the adjustments you can make to the picture! Well, not a negative, but it takes awhile to find your way around all the adjustments, and Sharp is not good about explaining them. The out-of-the-box setup was not optimal: reds were a little pinkish, the picture was not quite bright enough, etc., but after some tweaking I have a spectacular picture.



When changing channels, there is a "fade effect" between channels that is annoying. I have not been able to figure out how not to get this effect. (There is a "fade effect" in the menu, but disabling it has no effect.)





Summary:



If you haven't seen a full array LED LCD TV, you're in for a treat. Don't let the premium priced Samsung LED LCD's tempt you either, because their LED's are all on the edges. This has a full array behind the screen so that the picture is much brighter (when adjusted) and more uniform. Buy this and get some computer speakers. You will not regret it.

 "Bought Sight unseen and very happy!" 2009-12-31
By P. Lee (DC area)
After seeing the Samsung LED in a store, we decided that we wanted an LED tv. We read the reviews online and decided to go with the Sharp LED instead of the Samsung. It wasn't sold in any store in our area so we had to buy it sight unseen. We are very pleased with the picture quality! We watch it using an antenna and connected to the computer, and the picture is very crisp (I'm shocked at how good it is on Hulu, abc.com, etc). We do notice that we have to adjust the picture brightness when we switch between tv and video inputs. Videos tend to be a little dark without adjusting, but nothing serious enough to complain about.



For us, the sound is just fine, but we may not be the best reviewers for that since we don't focus too much on that aspect of the tv.



There is a slight delay when you change the channels. We're not sure if this is standard for the technology or unique to this tv.



Overall, for our transition from CRT to LED, we're very pleased!

 "Sharp Does It Again" 2009-12-27
By Sheila Bullock (Chicago, IL)
I was skeptical. I had done a little research and everyone was telling me to get the Samsung and I did. Believe it or not we don't have HD in the high rise that I live in, but I was determined to get the HDTV and a Blu-Ray and wait until they upgrade to HD. But, when I tokk it out of the box and turned in on, I knew I couldn't live with that. The picture was horrible! I watch a lot of regular TV and I just couldn't deal with the Samsung. Besides, I feel the 37 inch was too large for my bedroom, but I don't have a clue as to why the pictore was so lousy.



So, I sent the Samsung back, called Dell and they had the Sharp LED LCD HDTV on sale and I got it at a good price. Once we hooked up the satelite (I have DirecTV)and the Blu-Ray I was in love. The picture on Standard Definition chanels was amazing! The Blu-Ray was perfect! I watched "Public Enemy" and was mesmerized. I didn't even have to tweak the color at all. It was beautiful right out the box. The colors are rich and I don't have shadows around their faces. The sound is really good without any speakers. The stand is very well made adn ti screws down into the television. There is no chance of it falling over.

 "Good all-rounder, BUT..." 2009-12-18
By S. Nayak (Atlanta, GA USA)
This is the cheapest LED backlit 32" 120Hz 1080p LCD TV available. For the price, it works pretty well. I've used it for about 3 weeks now. Though, a lot of my time has been spent on troubleshooting one BIG issue.



The TV is NOT COMPATIBLE with AT&T U-verse receivers when connected via HDMI. I am forced to use component cable for the U-verse receiver. Both AT&T and Sharp technicians have not been able to resolve this. I saw another reviewer complaining about the same issue at Dell. His receiver is a Motorola one where as mine is CISCO.



Beware of this issue if you are planning to buy this. Other than that, it cannot be beat in price/performance ratio.



I'll update this review if and when the issue is resolved.

 "Hard to beat TV!" 2009-12-31
By M. De Witt (Layton, Utah United States)
I bought this TV about 6 weeks ago after looking and comparing different TVs from all the major manufacturers over several months. I am completely satisfied with my decision. After looking at this set and comparing it side by side to Samsung's LED TVs I was easily convinced that this TV is of the same quality or better and costs much less money.



The picture is unbeatable. The sound, as with all HDTVs in my opinion, leaves you wanting a little bit more. I have a Sony Blu-ray player and Home theater system to compliment this HDTV, so the sound is not an issue. I recommend good external speakers to get the sound quality that matches the picture.



Full panel back lighting vs Samsung's edge lighting on LED TV's is a great feature for me. There are more than enough inputs of all varieties to connect all the components I can imagine, including a PC monitor or laptop. The remote is large and takes some getting use to, but is fully functional.



Ordering through Amazon I saved $400 compared to buying it at the "lowest advertised price" from RC Willey and $600 compared to pricing at Best Buy.



This is a great looking TV with lots of features and high quality viewing. For a 120 Hz LED TV you cannot beat Sharp! Highly recommended to family and friends, I would make this purchase again without thinking twice!

I replaced a 6 months old Phillips 52"LCD, due to a Wii remote controller accident flying into the screen, with the Sharp. I viewed many brands side by side at Sears, Bestbuy, Sam's Club...etc and found this set to have the best picture for the money. Setup was easy to connect to a sound around system. The only complaint is the glossy screen and remote. Other than that, the picture is awesome when displaying Blue-ray videos. Sorry, no Wii games allowed to be played on this set.

 "Great Tv" 2009-12-21
By J. Mumma
I won't go into a lengthy review as others have already done that. I researched and researched some more without laying eyes on this set. It was between this set, Sony 52XBR9, and the 55" Samsung LED. I was not sold on LED I just wanted a nice set that would do 1080p and was larger than my current 42" Olivia.



We ventured down to a Brick and Mortar store just to view the set live. The store had everything set up on 720p over component video cabling, ridiculous. Thankfully the Sony sat right next to this one and the Samsung was a row over. This proved to be a nice setup for comparison. To make a long story short, this TV at least held it's ground with the other sets. The price point was the deciding factor for us. The B&M store actually price matched the best deal I could find online and beat it by about $10.



The one thing I did not care for on this set was the Heavy contrast. Dark areas lost detail. For instance a man in a black suit, you could not see the details of the suit where you could on the Sony and Samsung. **See statement on Calibration**



I found some suggested calibration settings online and WOW did that make a difference. Blacks are Black without loosing details and all the colors look natural including skin tones. The difference is night and day. The TV is bright, crisp, detailed and a new experience for us in movies and HDTV. I don't have a blue ray player hooked up yet (Christmas), I can't wait to see that one.



I only gave 4 stars for sound because what can you really expect from a TV in the sound department. I heard all of about 2 minutes of the sets sound before turning it off. I have everything running through an Onkyo receiver for 7.1 THX surround.



Pros:

Great picture quality

Price point

Not side lit



Cons:

Remote (blah)

Stock calibration is terrible

Menu system and options are a little haphazard, not well thought out.



Conclusion:

I don't regret this purchase in the least. I would buy this TV again and recommend it to others. The lack of local dimming does not seem to be a problem with this TV.

 "Nice one for the price" 2009-12-16
By $%^
First off - this does not have local dimming. It took me a while to confirm that before I purchased it. I got it in spite of this feature not being present because of the price - got it from a local store who not only matched Amazon price but took another 10% down to makeup for the taxes - got lucky i guess...



PS3 games look awesome and blueray movies are really good. The built in speakers are useless, but I don't use those anyway. The built-in browser is a waste. The only irritating issue is the dimming when credits roll - just as another reviewer pointed out. I turned the automatic dimming off and it became tolerable. The viewing angle is not bad, but not as good as high end Sonys.

With the introduction of the LC46LE700UN, Sharp combines its legendary AQUOS LCD panel technology with a newly developed, proprietary Full Array LED backlight system to create picture quality that is second to none. The LC46LE700UN illustrates Sharp's LCD technology leadership while also demonstrating its LED engineering advantages. Sharp's Ultra Brilliant LED system illuminates the TV to extremely high brightness and contrast levels and enables significant environmental benefits such as longer life expectancy, no heavy metals and lower power consumption. At the same time, the new XGen LCD Panel utilizes an ingeniously devised pixel design that permits more light to pass through even while minimizing light leakage, with the result being the deepest black levels that AQUOS has ever achieved. Overall, the LC46LE700UN shows that with Sharp, it's not just LED… it's AQUOS LED.

 "Poor choice of Cabinet finish." 2010-01-13
By Earthling_ (Any Town USA)
The TV is as good as it gets... I have a problem with the cabinet finish. The popular "High Gloss Piano Black" finish is not practical. While we are using the TV, the picture should be the only that we are aware of, not lights or reflections of other parts of the room. Why do the screens have a "Non Glare" coat when the same consideration is not applied to the overall design scheme? My TV has "Micro" Spider web scratches form the use of commonly available dusting cloths. The cabinet should be finished like the old tube TVs, nothing shiny then, so why do it now? Finely textured black is fine with me!

 "Input switching is a hassle on an otherwise great TV" 2010-01-13
By W. Blanton (CA USA)
Love this TV but for one thing, there is no direct selection among the ten available inputs. One must toggle all the way through all of the connected inputs to get to the desired one. On the upside, the TV does skip over unused inputs, so if you only connect the cable and an AV amp directly to the TV, like I do, the problem can be minimized. I use a Harmony 880 programmable remote (which I highly recommend) to select activities and had to devise a workaround to select the proper TV input. After trying a number of options, I ended up programming a double input toggle at the beginning and again at the end of the "watch TV" activity. The first input toggle brings up the menu and the second actually switches the input. This results in the input always being set to the AV amp except when actually watching cable TV. This method should work with any programmable control and any number of inputs. You just have to make sure that the input always goes back to its original setting when switching off.

 "An amazing set!!" 2010-01-10
By V. Mollicone (Carmel, NY USA)
We already have a Sharp 42" 1080P LCD set for about 2 years and we love that set. We are moving that set to our summer/retirement home where it will get less use and extend its useful life. This gave us the excuse to upgrade to Sharp's newest technology. We chose the 46" LED because it's the largest we can fit in that location. For us it was a simple plug out/plug in installation. We have a cable company-supplied HD DVR along with a Sony Blueray player. Sound is wired directly from the cable box via optical cable to a Yamaha receiver connected to a Bose Acoustimass surround system. On first setup, which was very easy with Sharp's instructions, we noticed that lower resolution channels were going to a weird form of black-and-white instead of color. I tried turning off the power saver green setting thinking this may be causing the problem, but it wasn't the case. Then, we found that turning off the set for ten seconds and restarting would correct the problem. But this still didn't seem to be normal behavior, so we swapped out our cable box/DVR for a newer edition and everything is perfect, even with power saver green settings. The picture is absolutely breathtaking!! We have watched some fast action and see no image blurring, so the 120HZ vs 240HZ issue is really not an issue for us. We rated the sound high only because it would be unfair to bring down the rating for a feature which does not concern us. And, Amazon's price can't be beat. The set arrived 3 days before the estimated arrival date in perfect condition. We only wish we could fit a larger screen!! Be aware that my brother-in-law recently got a 55" Samsung T-O-C with edge-lit LED and 240HZ which we viewed on Christmas Day. I honestly feel that the full array LED arrangement of Sharp's is superior and the LCD array is brilliant. Best set for the money hands down.

 "best TV in the House" 2010-01-09
By A. Daar
This is a wonderful television there is only one problem the sound but that could be the operator not the TV. Having said that it is very easy to set up and work, the clarity is excellent best TV in the house which means that everyone wants to watch it even though there is another TV in the house:)

 "No Buzz here..." 2010-01-08
By Pugs (San Francisco, CA)
We love this TV, we love that it is a LED and saves energy too.

The picture is great, the sound is great, someone mentioned a buzz, we hear no buzz whatsoever.

I researched so many LCD LED TV's for so long, and was so glad we chose this one.

The Samsung 46 LED was priced at almost 3000.00 - we got this for a steal 1280.00.

The TV does take about 20 seconds to "turn on" but that does not bother me at all



Also if you are buying this tv , make sure you buy a HDMI plug for it to, if you want to get a brilliant HDTV picture

A++++
