Customer Review: Best Value LCD
I think this is one of the best value LCD televisions available. I think the Sony Bravia has the best picture, but it really goes up in price compared to the Sharp. I don’t see the attraction to the Samsung products (other than the 52 inch LCD they have), and I think that the Sharp looks better than every LCD besides the Sony. I have blu-ray for the TV, and it looks magnificent. So get this TV, a blu-ray player, and Planet Earth on blu-ray and you will see the power the TV actually has.

Customer Review: I love this TV!!!
I bought this TV the last week of November, and have had it for about 2 weeks. The picture was phenomenal, right out of the box. I’d give this 5 stars, based on the following: PROS: * VERY nice picture. Watching NBA and NFL was like putting on glasses for the 1st time. I immediately noticed details that I’ve never seen before…and this was just on a 37″ TV!

I’ve already had 2 friends buy one of these after coming over to see mine. I can’t get enough of the Discovery Channel’s HD offerings! I loved them before, but they are night-and-day better in HD!!! * GREAT console. The TV fits nicely in my living room, and has a very attractive black casing. * VERY nice picture. It’ SO good, I needed to mention it twice!!! * EASY set up. The TV is packaged so that you can fasten the base onto the TV without removing it from the foam bumpers. This prevents the screen from getting scratched while (alternatively) lying it on the floor during installation. Great packaging!!! * NICELY laid out jacks.

The TV has 2 HDMI and 3 Component jacks. One jack has an S-Video-In which takes priority over one set of Components. The back of the tv is indented and has 2 clips that nestle your input cables and channel them to the lower back-center of the TV. This will help reduce the clutter behind your TV. CONS: * Sound. As mentioned by other reviewers, the sound isn’t anything special. Of course, you’ll probably be hooking a TV like this up to a receiver…but if you don’t, you won’t be overly impressed with the audio. * Volume. In a less than ideal environment,(i.e. dishwasher running in the background, spouse talking in the other room…) the max volume setting seems a little low. Again, this is solved with a receiver, but I would have liked a higher max setting. * No side inputs.

The gaming version (appx $200 more) has a special gamer-setting, and includes a side input. I can’ imagine that they cost that much, and I feel that at least ONE side-input should have been standard… I love this TV!!!! I don’t know how I put up with standard definition and my old CRT TV!!! I can confidently recommend this TV to you!!! On a side note, I bought this TV over the 780p model. In case you’re wondering, ‘yes’ you can tell the difference between 1080p and 780p on this TV! Pay the extra couple hundred and get the 1080p!!! Also, I plan on using this TV for occasional gaming (Halo 3). If you’re looking for a TV PRIMARILY for gaming, I’d suggest going down to the 32″ 1080p version (LC32D62U or LC32GP1U-gaming)
