5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice non-Aquos screen by Sharp, July 16, 2008

This review is from: Sharp LC37SB24U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

This is my first purchase of an HDTV after doing some extensive research. I probably should have waited for a sale, but I could not wait. This Sharp is a newly released (2008) model that is very nice for just being a 720p HDTV. (I will buy a fancier 1080p/120Hz t.v. later when I have more money).
The (37") size was just what I needed for a nook above my fireplace.

The picture in the store at the local wally-mart was horrible! I was comparing a Vizio and this Sharp side-by-side and the Vizio was clearly brighter & text was much sharper. I then realized that the Vizio was connected via component and the Sharp was connected via co-ax. Make sure that you are comparing apples to apples! I played around with the menu all to no avail in clearing up the Sharp when I realized the cable input type.
The picture is fantastic for OTA (air) HD and SD DVD using S-video. I am not much of a gamer so 2 HDMI inputs were sufficient. It has a digital audio out as well as standard composite and component connections.
It has PC input (D-sub); I haven't tried it yet, but I wish it was DVI instead...

The remote is basic/non-light up. But very simple to hold and handle. The menu is very easy to decipher using a remote. At the store, I was using the buttons on the top of the T.V. and it was very annoying. Still, I managed to figure out all the menu items. I love the fact that they have descriptions for the menu item changes on screen, so I don't have to refer to the manual all the time.
Good overall purchase. If it is below 8 benjamins; this is a steal!

2.0 out of 5 stars quits working, September 18, 2008

This review is from: Sharp LC37SB24U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I've had mine about 30 days. The screen blanks out randomly about once or twice a day. Have to turn it off and on several times to get it to work. Tried to find a service rep on the Sharp web site and it is clunky beyond belief. It will not recognize querries for the product ID code [LC37SB24U] and doesn't display a service center locator. I had to call and found that the nearest one is hours away. It is a nice looking unit, but I already regret my choice as I had hoped for a lot more from the Sharp brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete Hunk of Junk!!, May 9, 2009

Oh what a nightmare!!

I bought this TV brand new on Dec 28th last year (2008). After 2 months of operation I noticed slight color distortion. By 4 months it was bad enough I knew I wasn't imagining it and it was not program related.

Time to contact Sharp for warranty service. They tell me they need to "see" what it's doing. I have to sit there with my digital camera on watching TV waiting for it to mess up. Then I had to send the video to Sharp and wait for them to respond. After 2 weeks of waiting I called them up. They apologized for not getting back to me sooner and agreed the TV needed service. This was how May was spent.

Now it's June. The repair people have already been here twice. They replaced a circuit board and the TV finally worked well....for a whole hour and a half. Then it died. It did exactly what others have reported here. The screen went completely black and will not come back on. It is apparently also stuck in ON mode. I have tried everything I know to get it to break the connection. It will not respond to the remote or even to being unplugged. It doesn't matter how long I leave it unplugged, minutes or hours, as soon as I plug it back in the power green light is back on with out me turning the TV on. It's already on.

So now I am up to a third visit from the repair people. They are coming back out this Monday and this time they are taking the TV with them and giving me a loaner TV while they figure out what's going on with this lemon. I am SO SICK of dealing with this I could spit. I am ready for Sharp to just give me a brand new TV to replace this one all together. They can have this piece of crap back. It's currently sitting in the hallway awaiting pickup. It's completely useless to me.

It's a shame too because when it works, it work's very well. The picture is amazing. Too bad they used inferior parts to put it together. If you do buy one of these TVs, do yourself a favor and also buy the longest extended warranty offered. Chances are you will need it often. Sharp's is only for a year. You are on your own after that. I'm only 6 months into mine and look at what I've already had to deal with.
