5.0 out of 5 stars No complaints here so far., December 27, 2005
By Ruben Leon (Carlsbad, Ca) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just received the Sharp AQUOS 26" flat panel LCD TV and I have it wall mounted on a cantilever arm in my bedroom. I already have a 50 inch DLP in the living room, and both are hooked up to High Definition Tivos. The Sharp LCD has some of the best color I've seen. I'm really impressed so far with how easy it was to get this TV up and working. We simply connected the HDMI cable and the Power cable and voila we were up and working in a few minutes. It comes with a sleek looking stand if you want to place the TV on a table or other flat surface. It also has great sound for having small speakers on the side. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the speaker hookup but after trying it out a couple days I really like it. I'd reccomend this TV to any of my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contrast Ratio Confusion, February 4, 2006
By T. J. Green "meateebon" (Hendersonville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
I have this exact TV, and I love it. I researched for a long time until I decided on this TV, plus I scrutinized with my eyes and came to the conclusion that there simply is not a better looking picture available for under $1000.

That said, I'd like to clarify what some have been complaining about, the advertised contrast ratio of 4000:1. This is, according to Sharp's tech specs, the "Dynamic Contrast Ratio," not the standard contast ratio, which is 800:1. Other TVs on Amazon claiming to have a 3000:1 contrast ratio are talking about their "Dynamic Contrast Ratio," not their standard contrast ratio. Therefore, this TV has a higher "Dynamic" ratio than the other advertised TVs. Hope this clears things up for some, and I whole-heartedly recommend the Aquos line of LCD TVs. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars sharp aquos, March 17, 2006
By nmp "nmp" (seattle) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Excellent quality of picture, good contrast ratios, pretty intuitive to program and configure.

Of note - without the three color or HDMI DVI Cable, you will not get the full HD signal - this was not clear from our initial installation of the TV and attachment to the cable box.

We got our HDMI cable from monoprice.com for $6.44 + shipping
