2 out of 5 stars My Frist Sharp HDTV   September 11, 2008
Mr. E (Colorado Springs, CO)

This tv set has only 1 good thing about it: picture quality.

Picture is excellent, blacks/whites really do make this tv stand out from the rest of the other brands.

The reason why i gave this a 2 star rating is because I'm into video games and I play my xbox 360 on this tv a lot and there's a very annoying "blink out" whenever playing a game above 480p.

Now, I've read reports of sharp other sharp models having this issue, but was provided a firmware update (i guess enough people complained). Problem is, i've had the tv for a month now and so i'm unable to return for a refund/exchange.

Sharp does have a manufacturer warranty for 1 year after purchase, but i've contacted sharp and haven't heard any replies to my inquiries. I'm very upset at this fact as I cannot fully enjoy the console i play the most.

Funny thing is, i use my xbox 360 using component cables and it seems like the problem lies within the component inputs trying to autodetect the cables/signal. HDMI is fine w/the ps3 (no blinking whatsoever), i've tested other component cables w/different types of equipment and have reproduced the problem.

I'm still waiting for a response from sharp, as I've call 9x already about it, was told "we'll call you back" (along those lines); such horrid customer service.

Maybe I should've gone for a 42" Sony XBR. Now that's a company that hasn't let me down (so far)...I felt like I betrayed Sony, but I had to choose a tv w/the better picture quality, only to sacrifice the quality of the product itself.

Next time, Sony, I'll never leave you again.




4 out of 5 stars 46" LCD HDTV Value   July 19, 2008

The Sharp LC-46SB54U is a no frills, value based 46" LCD 1080P HDTV. The picture on this TV is really good. I compared it in-store with newer Samsung technology right next to it, and it compared favorably. I was worried about its sound capability when I heard it in-store, but when I hooked it up at home, the sound is actually quite good...especially with the simulated surround sound turned on.

Most menu functions are intuitive and easy to navigate, the exception being the channel add/delete function. When you power on the TV, a wizard guides you through some initial setup, including scanning for channels. This process scanned more than 150 extra blank channels into the lineup, which I had to delete out manually. This was a royal pain. Hopefully these settings will persist even if there is a power outage.

The anti-glare capability of the screen is very good, but this greatly diminishes the quality of the view you have when you are not looking at the screen straight on. Even though the specs brag of 176 degrees horizontal, I estimate that at about the 120 degree mark the screen doesn't look good enough to even worry about watching. The 6ms response time allows this TV to display very high motion video without blurring...I have been quite pleased with the TV in this area.

The stand is very solid, and the TV is very attractive looking. I was surpised how light the TV was for its size. I was able to pick it up by myself and set it on a 20" high stand. Yet the TV feels like it is built with quality.

A 46" LCD TV is actually significantly bigger than a 42", and this one isn't that much more money...in fact it can be had cheaper than many of the 42" and even 37" TV's out there. If its more important to have a bigger TV than to have 120Hz, PIP, Universal remote, etc. than this may be the TV for you.

Pros:
Good Value, Great Picture, Good Sound, Well Built

Cons:
Channel Add/Delete, Viewing Angles, Poor Instructions
