This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackWith the coaxial hookup (standard cable) or composite video hookup the picture quality is very, very poor. Blurry and shimmery. I tried it with a number of different input sources and the results were unacceptable.
However, with the s-video hookup, the picture is solid.
Might be an OK TV if you only need s-video.
This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackThe tv came with one inactive pixle and had to me returned. The exchanged tv if fime now. The speakers in the tv are low quality but the pictue is good.
This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackI bought this and straight out of the box it had 2 burnt pixels, I tried to return it to the store but they was sold out. I call Polaroid Corp CS and it takes me to Canada TWW Warranty for Polaroid, WOW! So, they told me that the HDTV that I bought would have to have like 5-6 pixels burnt out in a 1" inch square before they would issue a return or exchange! I am so totally surprised that Polaroid as big named as it is would let this kinda trash help them keep customers happy! I finally after googling for about 30 mins came up on the American CS for Polaroid, you have to talk to the 1 for films or you will not get an American CS and all others will not let you return or exchange it! I will not EVER buy another Polaroid PRODUCT of any kind after this, it still hasnt been fixed and I have called them 6 or more times and each time they tell me that they will call me back within 24 hours and NEVER HAVE HEARD anything. I guess they are waiting on the warrenty to run out on it. Never again! And as a note SamSung (aka Sanyo) has bad CS same as Polaroid.
This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackThis is a great TV. I purchased this television from Best Buy, and was happy with it until I noticed the auto-dimming feature. After reading about it online, I've noticed tons of people having the same issue. Fortunately it can be fixed (relatively) easily. All you need is a compatible flash drive (you can check the Sony Support website for a list of compatible flash drives - I used 4 GB Sony Micro Vault), and a PC. From there you simply go to the Sony Support website and download the update/patch for the TV which completely eliminates the auto-dim feature. I got the link by accessing the chat service on the Sony Support site. The PC part is important; If you have an Apple computer, you won't be able to successfully install the update. I implore anyone who has issues with the auto-dim feature to download the update - it gets rid of the problem.
Pros: Great value; contrast ratio; 1080p; 40 inch screen.
Cons: Without the update/patch there is the auto-dim feature; only 60hz
Overall: I loved the TV at first, then hated it when I noticed the auto-dim, now love it again now that I downloaded the update. I would recommend this TV for anyone looking to upgrade to HD.
This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackI bought this TV knowing about the brightness issue and the fix that Sony provides. I installed the software update and I love the quality of the picture I get in TV, DVD, and gaming modes.
Yes, the software update can be downloaded to a compatible USB storage device (flash drive), but if you don't have a compatible flash drive on hand there is no need to go out and buy one for a one time use.
Call Sony at 1-800-222-7669 to request the update be mailed to you free of charge. They will send the update to you on a USB storage device, along with instructions on how to perform the update.
If you have a USB flash drive on hand, but you're not sure if it's a compatible storage device, the following link will provide a list.

I hope this info helps.
Enjoy your Sony Bravia!
This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackI purchased this tv after carefully weighing the pros and cons with what little information I could find. Overall I am not disappointed. Being a relatively newer model reviews were hard to come by and the one review I found was here on Amazon and it was a bad review. It mentioned the Auto contrast feature included on the Bravia models and complained that during some movies it would darken too much and make the flick unwatchable. I have watched quite a few movies at this point and have not noticed it to be a problem except for maybe during opening credits.
I also Game alot on this tv, My 360 and PS3 look amazing through the HDMI and even my Wii looks pretty good(as good as a Wii can look). This is a great tv and the only thing I would change is the Auto Contrast. It has an option to turn it off, but switching it to off doesnt turn it of.. WTG Sony. :D Still a great tv
This review is from: Sharp LC 19SK24U - 19\" LCD TV - widescreen - 720p - HDTV - blackI received my 60pk950 about a week ago and absolutely love it. This was my first HDTV purchase and I spents months researching different brands and models. I was originally set on buying a Panasonic, but the refusal to own up to the rising blacks and floating blacks steered me away. Why give money to a company that won't admit to issues with their products? I bought an LG BD390 after reading stellar reviews on the blu-ray player and that led me to considering one of their televisions. I joined the AVS forums and spents months reading threads and posts on most brands and models available. My concensus is that the LG owners had the least amount of issues. Samsungs frequently buzz and the Panasonics have black issues. LG seems to be the underdog, so they are really out to impress their customers.
As for the TV, I love the picture ...
