Definitely the best 37" TV that we have seen. There have been no problems associated with this purchase.[[ASIN:B001338KV4 Sharp Aquos LC37D64U 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV]We bought a Sharp Aquos for our first HDTV and liked it so much, we didn't even look at anything else when we replaced another TV. I am very satisfied with this purchase. The price was great, the delivery was sooner than promised, and the delivery man was very helpful.
I bought the LC37D64U because it was the only 37" 1080 HD TV I could find with a bezel narrow enough to fit in our present entertainment system and was very pleasantly surprised with the quality and value of the product we got.
Anyways that was probably the only fault i thought the t.v had. So I got the T.V in 1 week, came from Nevada to Washington so i thought it was pretty good shipping. At this point im confused because I thought sharp is the top leader in T.v's. I really don't want to buy a surround system this shouldn't even be a problem becuase my previous t/v ( 27" Panasonic) had a way better sound system preeeeeetay saaaaad if you ask me.
(when i bought it) so yep that is my review. If anyone could help me out with the audio problem that would be wonderful. Super price. light weight.
what the heck dude. Super slim. I immeaditly installed the t.v in my room and when I turned on the t.v i immeaditly noticed that the sound quality wasn't very good. The picture is OUTSTANDING.
I read the worst reviews and they didn't mention anything about sound quality Oh and the controller does feel cheap, i was a bit bummed :(. I turned up the volume to its highest (60) and still wasn't good quality. Either there is something wrong with mine or no one yet has pointed this out.
Better yet, the bezel is very thin so that it fits in my TV cabinet which is less than 36" wide. I also have a Sony surround sound system for watching blu-ray movies. This television picture is amazing. The sound is not great, but with a little tweaking it sounds fine. Great product and a great price. I had a 1080i rear projection TV before this one and the Sharp blows it out of the water. The picture is crisp and clear.
In the meantime, NY [and some other states who have opted to go this route claiming that 'advertising' in a particular state is sufficient grounds to collect sales tax [.]. Now, if I had only predicted in 2008 that the Blu-Ray system HD players would be the winner over the HD-DVD format players, I'd be thrilled. That was approximately $36 saved right there. Colors are the best I've seen.Since many reviewers have already commented on the TV's merits, I'll simply mention some things that were not in those reviews but which the buyer should keep in mind. Although I had to pay state sales tax ever since June of 2008 when the State of New York essentially forced Amazon into the sales tax collection thing [via legal means].
She loves it. It's the HDMI cable [with the audio built in which is a plus] that provides the 1080p resolution. Fortunately, when I bought the set in December from Amazon, the delivery was free. So too, Pilot attempts to call you to set up a delivery date so make sure you have your actual phone number on file with Amazon [and not a fax machine number] because first they call to assure someone will be home on 'their' scheduled delivery date and 'then' and only then do they [Pilot] set the delivery date. This too which bears repeating, remember that these newer sets have 'multiple' video sources so the old 'Channel 3' thing becomes irrelevant when you move to S-video, component or HDMI cables since you then use the remote control to essentially tell the TV where the video source is located via the remote control "INPUT" button press. One last comment and I'll gladly correct this if I'm in error, that 1080p high definition picture 'only' becomes available with an HDMI cable as I'm informed that if you use S-video or that 5 wire 'component' cable, the max you will get is 720p resolution.
This 37" Sharp has 'two' HDMI slots, not three. The picture quality is excellent. As have some other states and my understanding is that this whole forcing of commercial entities who are 'not' located in the buyers state to collect state sales tax will be a matter for the courts to decide. Take a wild guess when S-video cable was the 'in' thing [before HDMI] and I'm sitting there with the TV set to 'channel 3' and I'm waiting for a picture and I get. Take a look. I bought this 37" Sharp Aquos LED HDTV as a Christmas present for my wife.
Getting back to the TV and other than the excellent picture, I liked the idea that Sharp continued to have at least one RF input [you know, the older 75 Ohm screw-in cable also termed the "F Type connector"] so that until you get [** highly recommended] those HDMI cables or S-Video or 5 wire 'component' cables, there is still the RF input [labeled "ANT/CABLE"] which can be handy especially when the fancy and updated cables go in and, for whatever reason, you start to get zip for a picture with all those add-on gizmos [DVD's, VCR's, etc]. This new Sharp that I'm writing about has 'multiple' video input sources [including the one on the side of the set] and each video source [or added DVD machine, etc]. First, the delivery itself, where Amazon [at least in my case] chose 'Pilot' as the shipping carrier and while I have no complaints whatsoever about the delivery, the buyer should note that they will be required to sign for this item and therefore someone should be home to sign the delivery papers. How do I know that. The previous 'graney' picture was eliminated completely with an S-video cable and the [generally and for a few bucks more] audio cables [two of them -- left and right -- color coded red and white] 'attached' to the S-video cable itself. It replaces an older bedroom 36" SONY 'CRT' tube TV that required the figurative bulldozer to ever move the thing while this Sharp LED and at 37" can easily be moved and weighs in at about 45 pounds. When I switched over to S-video on my older SONY and HITACHI big screen TV's which do not have HDMI slots the picture quality improved tremendously over the older RF or RCA 'composite' stuff. must be selected via the remote control "Input" button so that the TV can locate the input source signal.Doc Tony ADDENDUM.
, a blank screen, but only because once I stopped using the older RF 75 Ohm screw-in cable and pulled it out [the satellite box to the back of the TV] in favor of the [then] updated S-video cable and, of course, a slot in the satellite box itself for S video, the 'channel 3' setting no longer applied as the trick was to use the remote and essentially direct the TV to the new [S-video] video source. zip. Your other TV's -- if you're still using the older RF cable [the 75 Ohm screw-in "F-type connector"] and your older TV has a slot in the back for "S-video" and prior to HDMI slots making their apearance since 2007, 'definitely' go for the S-video cable over the older RF or RCA 'composite' stuff. That slot on the 'side' on the TV, under the component plugs, is not a 3rd HDMI slot, it's a service terminal. The write-up talks of '3' HDMI slots but that's perhaps for the even bigger Sharp models. Shades of the internet tobacco sales issue with Native Americans and the various states wanting their cut of the pie, as it were. So too, I personally found no discernible difference, picture quality wise, between S-video and 'component' cable [5 wire, you know, that Y-Pr-Pb stuff + 2 more audio cables, total 5 wires] although I found the HDMI cable, now in vogue, to be the best of all as in the case of this new Sharp which [on the 37" model] has -two- HDMI cable slots. Bright too.
Ditto using the 5 wire [on each end] 'component' cable or the latest HDMI cable. so that until you can figure out what goes where, the RF cable will at least provide you a picture until the HDMI cable(s) [or whatever updated video cables] begin to work for 'all' your TV video attachments. In short, the item is not just dropped off -- a delivery date is made by the carrier and someone must be there to sign for it. ] gets their sales tax.
