5 HDMI¿ inputs (v1.3 with Deep Color)

I wasn’t expecting to get a top of the line 1080p TV, and I pretty much got what I expected. The Aquos is very attractive TV- it has a very pleasing high-gloss black finish, a nice stand and a cool, grey speaker grill. The sound on the Aquos is terrible, so I suggest getting your own receiver and speakers (which I had, so I didn’t really mind). The picture quality is great, but the other day I noticed some very, very faint banding on the screen. It’s hardly noticeable, but if you’re like me (you over-inspect everything), then it might start getting annoying. My girlfriend says that she cannot see any banding, so maybe I’m just seeing things. Overall I’m very happy with the TV, considering the price. I picked it up for 0, and after a few months of research, this was the best price/ value I could find for a 46″ TV made by a reputable company with decent customer service. If you’re looking to buy a quality, cheap 46″ TV, then the Aquos might be for you!

Seriously… – Jacob Chavez – FL, USA
Great Picture, Good Sound. No Blur! Receives OTA digital broadcasts without an external antenna. More than enough inputs for my DVD, XBox, XBox360, PS1, Gamecube, N64 and Media PC! Simply AWESOME TV!

Awesome – W. Gullifer – New Jersey
Awesome product. Faster then expected delivery plus they call before hand. They also open it and check for damage. All around great!

Do not buy this TV – Jennifer Lynn Nagel – Florida
We were so happy with this TV, until recently. Just over a year old…and JUST out of warranty…we too have the blinking lights/won’t power on issue. We have used this TV maybe five hours a week at most over the last year and are just baffled as to why Sharp, and retailers think this is acceptable and continue to make and sell these. With just a few minutes of online research I have discovered that I am far from alone with this specific issue on the same set. there are complaints going back as far as 2007! We are officially in the market for a new television since we were told it could be anywhere from 0-0 to repair. No thank you. Who will guarantee the same problem won’t surface again. Do not buy this or any Sharp product if you are wise.

Excellent bang for the buck – Felix F – Detroit, MI United States
I’ve purchased a few of these for the office and have one at home. Picture quality is good. The scaling features make SD content look pretty decent and smooth, especially compared to some Samsung models I was considering. Lots of HDMI inputs with assignable labels. Connected to basic cable, switching between analog channels is very slow, but digital channels change quickly. Built in speakers sound adequate in a small space, but sound pretty weak in larger rooms. The included stand is solid and not prone to wobbling.
