Great LCD tv June 16, 2009
Daniel Bachelor (East Longmeadow, MA)
Very happy with this purchase. Got it from Amazon for 850.00 shipped no tax, so cant complain about that! 5 hdmi inputs plus pc inputs makes this a very scaleable tv. People complain about pixels up close. Yes you will see some blocks up close (1 or 2 feet away) but from my sitting distance of 8 - 14 feet, the screen is crystal clear. HD looks amazing of course. Xbox360 in 1080 is fantastic. Speakers are garbage though, but you should expect that on any LCD or Plasma, unless you are dropping 1500.00 +. A word about LCD vs. Plasma. There are valid arguments for and against both technologies. For me it came down to 1 simple thing. Plasma generates heat, and heat and electronics dont mix!
 Sharp Aquos LC42D62U panel problem May 29, 2009

My Sharp Aquos LC42D62U encountered an LCD panel problem in only it's 3rd year of use. I purchased the product from PC Richard. I also purchased an extended 3 year warranty from PC Richard. When I encountered the problem, I had already moved outside PC Richard's service area so they refunded my money. Had I purchased a warranty direct from Sharp, maybe they would have covered the problem. I was not given the option of purchasing the warranty direct from Sharp by PC Richard so Sharp is not willing to accept the cost of the PC Richard warranty to correct the problem. They are only offering pro-rated cost to replace the TV. My next TV will not be a Sharp. So I guess the message here is buy the extended warranty direct if you can, and the product and service is likely to be better from Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, etc.
 Excellent bang for your buck. April 29, 2009

Sharp really got it right with this TV. The updated styling and the wonderful picture quality make this TV and outstanding value. More inputs than you could ever want (10) and the best auto aspect ratio adjustment I've ever seen.
Very good HDTV at a great price! March 13, 2009

I am very satisfied with this HDTV after about three weeks of use. I relied almost exclusively on the Consumer Reports endorsement in buying this, never even saw it in a store. Bought "used" through Warehouse Deals, but received a new HDTV with the most minor damage to the shipping box - so my deal was even better than most (IMHO).
The set has so many input options (5 HDMI is ridiculous!) and the 1080p resolution is superb. Plugged in HD DVR, DVD and Wii - turned on and voila, picture came up automatically.
There are lots of customization features for input labeling and control.
Picture customization is above average for sets in this price range, and useful. I found the default setting to be dark - after two corrections, wife is happy.
Sound is much better than I expected, it can get loud if needed, but doesn't clip or get too tweety.
Extremely satisfied.
 Not bad for the price February 23, 2009

This TV is very easy to set up and use. The manual is straight forward and I had it up and running in a matter of minutes. The only issue I've experienced so far is a the sound when watching a DVD. It sounds as if the speakers are blown. I do not have a spare DVD so I have no real way of knowing if its the TV or the DVD player. I get this from time to time when watching regular TV as well, but very rarely.
