Sharp AQUOS LC52LE700UN 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV

This tv is a whopping 13 months old and it has two serious problems already.....i constantly receive an error message "incompatible audio output" and the unit powers off for no apparent reason. Of course called Sharp, and here is a big surprise, they said sorry, but you will have to pay for a service tech to come out and look at it. Typical Sharp customer service. I will never buy Sharp again.

I bought this TV about 6 weeks ago after looking and comparing different TVs from all the major manufacturers over several months. I am completely satisfied with my decision. After looking at this set and comparing it side by side to Samsung's LED TVs I was easily convinced that this TV is of the same quality or better and costs much less money.The picture is unbeatable. The sound, as with all HDTVs in my opinion, leaves you wanting a little bit more. I have a Sony Blu-ray player and Home theater system to compliment this HDTV, so the sound is not an issue. I recommend good external speakers to get the sound quality that matches the picture.Full panel back lighting vs Samsung's edge lighting on LED TV's is a great feature for me. There are more than enough inputs of all varieties to connect all the components I can imagine, including a PC monitor or laptop. The remote is large and takes some getting use to, but is fully functional.Ordering through Amazon I saved $400 compared to buying it at the "lowest advertised price" from RC Willey and $600 compared to pricing at Best Buy.This is a great looking TV with lots of features and high quality viewing. For a 120 Hz LED TV you cannot beat Sharp! Highly recommended to family and friends, I would make this purchase again without thinking twice!

Well, Nice picture, doesn't handle sports very well. It can't take the quick motion. That was surprising since I hadn't noticed that in my research. But here's the real problem. Sharp says this product is internet enabled, but apparently that only means once you hook it up to the internet, you can only get the content they allow on their Aqous net, content that is redundant to anything you can delivered on the TV. You think you might be able to type in a url and navigate to a website? Even the operation manual and software deceptively imply that. It gives you the ability to add bookmarks, except that you can't type anything in since there is no software keyboard. Oh, the manual has a picture of a software keyboard which it says you use when you are "editing an input screen or specifying the ethernet settings used for accessing the internet" but this software keyboard is nowhere to be found. It implies that once you enter an input field the screen magically appears. Of course the only input field is the "Add bookmark" and nothing happens. There is no URL field. They spend time talking about what happens when you select a link, but there is no enabled link in any of the content, not even the advertising. Very strange. I saw some Youtube videos where company execs and engineers talk about the Aquos net, but they never actually say you surf the net. Only that they have content delivered that way. Subtle and tricky. Is this why 6 ave is selling them so cheap. They got a shipment of lemmons that have this software malfunction and they are not telling anyone? Something's amiss. . .

first off, i [almost] never leave reviews for anything, but since this was a major purchase for me i thought i'd drop a couple pennies with my experience...not a bad product, at least according to the various user reviews online; but NOT for me~i just received this tv this AM and although i was very excited to get it up and running, after everything was said and done, i can't say that i am satisfied with my purchase... upon initial inspection i've found four dead/bright pixels!! this is such a surprise to me because i've bought 3 other televisions prior to this one in the past 18 months [all vizios: vw37l, vo37l, and vl420m] and NONE of them had any pixel issues what-so-ever...the tv i had before was the vl420m and that tv was actually very good, imo... truthfully, i wish i did not get rid of it... sure, this sharp's got a bigger screen [+10"], but the positive ends right about there for me... the led back lighting is nothing to write home about, nothing like i had expected; pictures look washed out, especially at off-axis viewing angles greater than 45-degrees or so... i was expecting a more vivid picture, more "pop", since i am some-what a fan of the SOE...the speakers are a joke, but it's dumb to expect anything great from ANY television's built-in speakers... i run sony's ht-ct100 sound bar, so it's all good...as others have mentioned, the aquosNET feature is useless, sluggish, seems tacky and unpolished...this television has more than enough options to fine tune the picture to the user's exact liking, but for me [and probably +90% of the general public], it's TOO MUCH; an overkill... i have probably read almost every review/forum threads regarding this model and most people gave great inputs, so i decided to go ahead and pull the trigger... turns out that this tv is not for me, should have just stuck with the budget-brand vizio, which is more than enough for me... i hate the fact that the vga input only allows limited number of resolutions [1920x1080 not being one of them, which was available on my last set], so i had to get a dvi -> hdmi cable but i think i got a bad cable or something since the screen is super distorted when i use it... i did not want to exchange for a new cable and all that crap since it was only ~$10 online... ultimately, i ended up running @ 1360x768, b00!!this model is known to emit slight buzz/hum from the rear of the unit and some people have complained about that, but luckily mine does not make any noise [yet, at least], but that is irrelevant to me since i wish i can return this tv without any penalties; just thought i'd throw that out there...tv does not handle motion too well either, and i'm not talking about super high rate stuff like football games, just some action scenes from a movie, is just "OK," not great... i'm not sure if having the 240Hz feature will improve this, but i guess it doesn't really matter; vizio's 120Hz > sharp's... imo, of course...i paid ~$1300AR for mine, exactly double the price of my vl420m i bought back in SEPT/09; wish i can take it all back :[bottom line: i was expecting to see a significant improvement in pretty much every aspect of picture quality compared to the vl420m, but i was wrong, VERY wrong !!* * * I'M NEVER BUYING SHARP TV AGAIN * * *or any other "premium" brands, for that matter; 99% of people CAN'T tell the difference, they only front since they have obviously paid more for their set and feel the need to justify the higher price tag...not to sound like a vizio fan-boy, but people can't hate on their value and excellent products [at least for my past three purchases]... no wonder they're the fastest growing hdtv company !!
