 Several pros, some cons. August 21, 2009

I got this LCD to replace an Aquos 42D65U; mainly because of my old set lacked a 10-bit panel and 120Hz video processor, features that are present with this set.
I am kind of picky regarding features and while some people might think Im a bit exaggerated regarding details this review is to address anyone whom needs to know specific details to help to decide about getting this set.
PROS:
-There are a lot of options in the menu that let you fine-tune the calibration of the image. If you own a calibration DVD or Blu ray you can easily achieve a perfect image and color balance that can also be tweaked to your personal taste.
-Input lag in GAME Mode is practically inexistent; I read that some brands have severe input lag while other brands also offer some sort of GAME mode to reduce such lag, but after personal comparisons SHARP manages it better.
-120Hz processing gives you a very smooth image and not as exaggerated as displayed by other brands and also NO artifacts!
many people turn this option off because it sometimes look unnatural, and I agree. Watching a movie that looks like a soap opera its not cool and sometimes it looks just plain silly and eerie, but this set manages it without going to the extreme and looks smooth and natural...and you can just turn it off if it bothers you.
Also note this: NO artifacts!
CONS:
note: I repeat, Im picky, maybe you wont notice these CONS and if you do you may not give a lot of thought to it as they are not catastrophic faults.
-that 10-bit panel promise of smooth transition between colors is not quite true. While it certainly alliviates some instances of color transition, that step between different shades of the same color are still present, not a deal-breaker issue, maybe you even havent noticed it.
-Light Banding, If you dont know what banding is, dont look for it, dont go fishing for problems. Old Aquos set had this problem and VERY more noticeable than it is in this set; also not a deal-breaker but mildly annoying if you look for it and visible only in specific panning scenes.
-Transitions of skin tones in faces sometimes look a bit posterized, or softened. Im stubborn and picky I want to see the pores on averyone faces, be able to count the eyelashes! But if you watch TV from the recommended distance then its absolutely no problem and also it might be a matter of personal taste for some people since professionals recommend to set the sharpness of the picture at low settings. Turning down the Fine Motion and dejudder settings dont alleviate this issue, but as I said, its only somewhat visible in skin tones at close-ups, otherwise the details of objects are spot-on.
MOVIE and GAME modes are my recommended settings since I found both DYNAMICs, STANDARD, PC and USER modes more of a chore to calibrate and ultimately pointless since movie/game work perfect for me.
The picture is gorgeous, Blu Ray movies look amazing and both Xbox and PS3 also have excellent image quality and no lag. The price is really accesible compared to other brands and it might not have LAN connectivity or included content as weather widgets or cooking recipes as competing sets but you might already have several devices that offer those functions and its not a big deal.
So if you are disappointed in looking around the web or forums for those very specific details regarding this LCD I hope this helps you.
Excellent TV for the cost July 29, 2009

I picked this TV up recently from Dell with a coupon. Picture quality is very good on any input. It handles regular cable reasonably well for a big tv. It's watchable compared to some other big LCD's out there I've tried. Any input (I've done regular DVD, Windows Media Center, Blu-Ray at various resolutions including 480P, 720P and 1080P) looks excellent. The dynamic screen stretch actually works quite well to take whatever you're playing and scale it correctly to fill as much of the screen as possible. There is no blurring on anything I've watched and the response time seems to be no issue on any source.
The color adjustment is in-depth (if you want to really tweak it) and the auto-brightness/light monitor works well to adjust the screen brightness depending on the light sources in the room. I've seen others (Sony in particular) where this stuff just works half the time (especially the V4100/5100 series). Sound output is reasonable for a flat panel. It won't blow you away but it was sufficient in my 15x20 basement.
Overall I think this tv is a great bargain. It only weighs about 42 lbs so it's easy to mount. The settings are easy to use and change. The channel changing is pretty fast even for digital channels (between 1-2 seconds). OTA digital reception is good. If you can get it for $1200 or less, it's a good deal.
BUY THIS TV!! August 14, 2009

I Spent a lot of time in stores and reading countless online reviews before I bought this tv looking at all makes, models and brands. This one, LC46E77U, stood out from all others from across the room in a sea of other TV's of all price ranges. I bought the unit from another retailer but I was compelled to tell how happy and satisfied I am with this TV.
The picture is perfect and HD programming is amazing. The speakers aren't bad and OK to listen to regular programming but I have a Yamaha surround system for serious listening.
I would highly reccomend this panel to anyone who wants high end features without the high end prices demanded by the so called "bigger name" manufacturers. There's plenty of inputs and outputs but the most important feature, image quality, cannot be beat.
STOP SHOPPING AROUND AND BUY THIS TV!
Competes with Sony/Samsung @ a better value June 7, 2009

Spent time in stores before i bought this tv looking at all makes, models, brands. There are not alot of Sharp Aquos tvs in my area but plenty of the more expensive Sony and Samsungs.
Luckily for me my buddy bought the 52" 60 hz refresh of this model and I was able to see the beatiful picture.
Once I got the HD Direct tv service installed and adjusted the many picture related settings in this panel to my liking I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
The picture is, in my opinion perfect. HD programming looks so good its almost painful.
I have a PC in my living room attached to the panel via a DVI to HDMI cable. 700 MB DVD rips look flawless on this panel. No pixelation or atifacts with vivid vibrant color and lighting.
I dont use the speakers on the panel though i do use it to feed my Sony surround system with fixed output. It does not negatively impact sound quality.
I would highly reccomend this panel to anyone who wants high end features without the high end prices demanded by the bigger name manufacturers.
Most importantly image quality (once adjusted) cannot be beat.
The dynamic contrast and backlighting do a great job of changing picture settings with changing room lighting. I did find it best to limit the range of the OPC (auto backlighting feature) as I prefer a very bright picture.
The movie playback quality is unbelievable, especially considering the sometimes poor quality of video Im feeding it.
Spend some time adjusting this TV and you will be well rewarded.
Bloody Fantastic July 6, 2009

After more than a month of looking around, and comparing various sizes, resolutions, colors, costs, etc., I chose the LC46E77U. I will try and write a more detailed review after using this TV for a longer period of time.
For now, this is one the best HDTVs I could find within a reasonable budget for a 46", 120 Hz, new model, and a reputable company SHARP. I've had it for 2 weeks and so far, it hasn't been a disappointment. Played PROTOTYPE on the XBOX 360 with HD Component cables and it looked absolutely gorgeous.
Will be tweaking and trying out more features in the next few weeks. There is no need to pay the big bucks on other HDTVs from companies like SAMSUNG and SONY when you can get pretty much the same enjoyment from this one. 5 STARS
