    Great TV lots of inputs
    5 out of 5 stars
    Great TV lots of inputs
    I purchased a 37" LG 37LV5300 and the picture was good but the speakers were horrible, there was some motion blur (even though it was also 120hz) and whenever the screen was supposed to be totally black you could see the LED bleeding through on the corners. This TV is so much better! It is a bit more expensive but I plan to keep it for a while and it really is worth the price difference. The blacks are really dark and the picture is very stable and the 120 hz refresh rate allows you to watch movies at 24 frame a second rate that they are filmed in (most US movies are filmed at 24 frames per second so if your tv has a refresh rate of 60 hz then the tv has to double up on some frames. It isnt very noticeable but it makes a difference. I believe broadcast is 30 frames a second so it doesn't make a difference. For a flat screen it has amazing sound and while not a house shaker the speakers are not tiny at all (a huge improvement over the LG). Another nice feature is that the screen will adjust the back lighting to match the light level of the room, it works really well, and is much better than a similar feature on my laptop. The screen has a semi matte finish and it does a great job of reducing reflections and has a very wide viewing angle which is great because our tv room does not have the best setup. The tv also has energy saving features like one that will turn it off if it has been idle for 3 hours.The TV has lots of features and an Aquos link that allows it to control other devices like your DVD player when you select your DVD input. The TV over the air receiver is pretty good although with the newer digital tv there is a slight lag. I think the LG had a better receiver but I don't watch too much over the air. It does have 4 hdtv inputs which is good for me as I can plug in my DVD player and PC (it also has a VGA input if your pc doesn't have a HDMI. It also has a mini plug input that works well with my computers sound (my video card does not have sound over HDMI although some do). The sound input is shared between HDMI 1 (with ARC, read below) and the VGA input.One really nice feature is its internet applications. I only use the Netflix but the interface is great, you can even search for movies using an onscreen keyboard function and when you finish watching an episode of a tv series and go back to the menu the screen prompts you to play the next episode without going back to your queue. This is much better than the blu ray player or Netflix's own Roku box where you have to add the episodes with a computer before watching.If I could I would take a half star off because it has some time lag issues with the sound with my DVD. I have a Sony 770w blu ray and it synced up fine with the LG but I had to adjust the player so that the sound matched the video on the Sharp. If your DVD doesn't have that ability it might be a problem. I also noticed the same thing with the PC but it is very very minor. I haven't tried it with other devices such as a xbox or playstation. I called tech support and they said I might need to unplug and then plug things back in to allow the devices to sync better but that didn't work. I did try to reduce the processing effects and smoothing but it did not help and really reduced picture quality. Another minor issue is that only one of the 4 HDMI has ARC audio return channel which should reduce the audio sync problem although it didn't. ARC allows audio to go back from the TV to your receiver which should help remove any lip sync issues or allow you to pass through audio when say watching over the air tv back to your receiver without an extra cable.Lastly the HDMI cables go in on the side so you have to bend them down at a sharper curve than I prefer so that they do not poke out from behind the side. If you use a small strap to bundle them or to keep the wires from the edge it is not a problem. or use 45 degree adapters).Overall it is a very nicely made TV with a great picture and sound.Quick update: TV still working great, the remote is just okay and is a bit long for the number of buttons. One issue I am having is with the Aquos Link which allows you to control devices like the bluray through the tv. A huge downside is that when you change the volume it adjusts both the TV and the device you actually want to control. I think I will program the remote buttons to work with the DVD directly which should provide good DVD control without the volume issue.I also found a setting that turns off the illuminated insignia on the front that lets you know the tv is on (only visible when the TV is on so you cant see it in any of the stock pictures). It is a bright white symbol that was a little annoying. Now it turns on when you turn on the tv but fades to off after a couple of seconds. Downside is that it is hard to tell if is even on although an issue as the set turns itself off after a bit as mentioned above.10/30/2011 UpdateI have had this tv for a couple of months and it works flawlessly. I also picked up an X-Box 360 with Kinnect and there is no lag or delay even when you pan quickly. One other positive feature is that it has at least one (haven't tried adding more) user customizable screen setting function (like game. movie, standard, dynamic) that gives you one more pre-set setup. I use it for games that have darker images/backgrounds to make it easier to play.The screen also seems to be very anti static/dust as my whole setup was very dusty but the screen itself was clean.

      I am glad I chose to buy this one after weeks of hunt for a good quality TV that wouldn't burn a hole on my wallet. Initially, I was looking for a 46 inch Plasma/LCD and found most good one's to be 900 dollars or more. I had narrowed down my choices to either a Samsung LCD/Panasonic Plasma after reading several reviews. I was very particular about picture quality and design. Though Plasma's are said to reproduce very accurate picture, I decided against it after learning that they consume a lot of power. Then on, I set my eyes on LED attracted by their low power consumption (13$/year if used 5 hrs a day all days on this one. That is something !). Samsung LED's were very expensive and so I reduced my requirement to 40 inch from 46 inch. The price difference wasn't as much as I'd expected it to be on most brands only until I stumbled upon this Sharp in amazon. I had never heard much about Sharp but decided to give it a serious thought. The reviews were just okay but the features were awesome (built in wifi, high contrast ratio, quattron etc). For the price and a brand like Sharp, I said let me take a chance. Frankly, the TV turned out to be beyond my expectations. Here's what I liked. Its really slim and the picture quality is just amazing. Colour looks brilliant and rich (neither artificial like some Samsungs nor dull like certain Sony's). Network setup was a breeze and the software is kept simply and easy to navigate. And not to forget, the sound quality is superb. At this price, this LED is a great VFM with no compromise in class and quality. The only small negative I can think of is the remote. It lacks any lighting or flourescent print which makes it difficult to operate when its dark. This TV discerns a good review from a well known forum like CNET. This TV is certainly not well represented in most sites. Go for it and you'll be pleased rest assured.

      I got this TV to replace another brand that failed after several years and wanted to put it in place of the failed one on articulated wall VESA mount. I immediately noticed it didn't match up to any of the holes on the mount and so I looked in the manual to determine the spacing.

      The manual states that you should only use the Sharp wall mount which, from the pictures, appears to only tilt downwards slightly. As close as I can measure it using an inch/foot tape-measure, the spacing appears to be 300 x 300 so I bought some adapters. These don't quite make it. After several attempts to adjust them close enough I was able to insert 3 out of 4 screws. I've got another adapter on order so maybe that will work out better. I like the picture, and the sound is much better than my previous TV however I've spent more time on the mount than I have watching the TV. The TV is relatively light so why, other than wanting to make more money, they just didn't make this a standard VESA mount and say so, I have no idea.

      Other than that, I don't like the fact that they pointed the HDMI ports in the direction away from the TV and put them on the far edge. Most people I assume are going to run any cables back to the center of the TV, especially if it is wall mounted and this necessitates bending all the cables back on themselves.

      I suppose I should have run when I saw one reviewer complain about lip sync issues, but nevertheless gave it a 5-star rating.

      This TV does have a fairly nice image, once you turn off all the gimmicky grap that is turned on by default, including the yellow pixels. Tuning this up using the Spears & Munsil Blu-ray, I found that the yellow produced undesirable effects and turned it off. Oddly, I can't even find the setting to turn that on/off anymore. The menus are terrible on this thing. Way too complicated.

      Ultimately, I got the image all set up to where I'd be happy with it for the long run, only to find that the lip sync was off. I have the TV integrated into my system the same way my Panasonic Viera plasma was, and I never had any problems with that. I'm really regretting making the switch now, because I can't find a way to get the sync working, I've found no one else on the web who's resolved this, and most people seem to think it's acceptable to just live with that bad sync (which, admittedly, is *sometimes* in sync). I can't live with it. When I spend hundreds of dollars on a TV, I expect it to work.

      I'm sending this thing back. A first for me.

      2 stars only because the image looks pretty good, if not quite great.
