With all the advancements in picture size and quality, you would think that finding a really good TV would be much easier than before. In reality, it's the exact opposite.
I bought this TV from local club store last week. I believe the club stores are the only place to find this particular model number, but from the research I did online, it is like peas in a pod to the 52E77U.
Setting up the TV was extremely simple. First you have to glue the stand, then just plug in the power cable and your inputs and turn it on. The first thing that you see when you turn it on is an early basic setup menu. Once you go through the few questions, then you are all set. I did spend a small time tweaking the settings as you would have to do with pretty much any TV you buy. I found a site that had some users posting their settings and I tried a few of those. I then made a few more adjustments and I found what I feel is the perfect setting amalgamation. The picture quality is truly incredible, very vivid and clear, and everything in HD is just phenomenal.
As far as sound quality, I have not listened to the speakers at all as I am using a seperate receiver for the sound. I would not estimate much in the way of quality as these types of TV’s are built for picture quality, not sound, and really, I’d be fine if they did not even have speakers.
I cannot find a single thing to be negative about with this set, except for one very odd quirk. With my setup, I have my cable and PS3 running to my ONKYO receiver, which then has one output to the TV. When I first turned on the TV, I got a message about sound not being compatible. I had seen this mentioned on another site, and all I had to do was turn the TV’s volume control down to 0, and I never get the message.
One closing thought. While doing research on Sharp LCD TV’s, there was some mention of banding issues. Everything I could find said this issue was resolved and limitted to some run of screens at one of the factories. I have not noticed any flaws of any sort with my picture. I highly recommend this TV, at least, for the price I paid for it, you get more value than comparable Samsung, Sony, etc. models.

I just picked one of these sets up a few days ago at a club store after considering its price just a couple hundred over the LC-46D65U I’ve had my eye on for the last year or so. The screen is excellent. No dead pixels, no blurring issues that I can see, and best of all, no perceptible input lag with my xbox. (this is the feature of the Aquos sets that was my primary interest in them)
Out of the box, the image quality was quite excellent but in need of tuning. The colors are not oversaturated as with many televisions. The menus are intuitive and simple to use so it took just a few minutes to adjust the temperature to what looks right to me. But, after 3-4 attempts, I still haven’t struck the right balance with the gamma, contrast, and brightness. I am a small bit of a nut over these, but, so I wouldn’t consider it a fault of the set. Overall, I would say the image quality is brilliant.
Sound quality is terrible. I mean, it is embarrassingly terrible. I have never heard a TV with worse speakers. And the TV that this is replacing is an Olevia that couldn’t play in stereo without major distortion. This set is worse than that. The sound is harsh and sharp. It is about as high in fidelity as the cheap transducer in a laptop computer. There are menu options to adjust the bass and treble up and down, but even with treble cut as far as it’ll go and bass set to the max, there is small to no change in the atrocious noise noise this thing puts out. The best I can estimate is that the expectation by Sharp’s marketing and engineers is that this set was never meant to play its own sound. Graciously, there are audio out jacks on the TV. If you have a home theater set, this is a non-issue. If you don’t, be sure to budget in a decent set of powered speakers. The built in audio is simply unusable.
The input/output jacks are plentiful. I count 5 HDMI’s, 2 YPbPr’s, 2 RCA’s, a VGA dsub, an s-video, and a serial port, as well as a stereo 1/8″ jack, and as I meantioned, it has the ever-so-de rigueur audio output jacks, both in RCA and digital form factors. One HDMI port, one RCA input, and a USB service terminal are situated on a side panel, keeping them easily accessible for temporarily installed devices. The rest of the jacks are on the back of the unit, off to one side, with the power jack on the opposite side. It would have been nice to have these closer together and nearer to the center of the chassis. The included power cord is a measly 4 feet. I had to sort out my runs around my entertainment center to accommodate this. It’s not a major issue but it is needlessly annoying. If you don’t have a plug immediately in the rear the set, you’re going to need an extension cord.
The remote is neither the best nor the worst I’ve used. It’s an awkward shape and I don’t like the positioning of the channel and volume buttons but the buttons have a nice feel and the controls are instant and responsive.
All in all, I would say that it is a excellent set. The case looks excellent, the picture is crisp, clear, and fluid, and it’s loaded with everything de rigueur to be the centerpiece of a solid home theater system. The minimal screen lag is splendid for gamers. The terrible behavior they’ve given the audio system precludes this set from being a standalone piece, but, and if your interest is in getting the most TV for your money, remember that this is not complete out-of-the box, and the savings it offers over comparable quality displays may well be eaten up in the buy of a listenable audio rig.
