This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D43U 52-Inch 720p LCD HDTVWas a nice tv when it was new, however two years after first use, the flat panel screen started showing some vertical lines going down the right side of he screen. Sony indicated it was out of warranty, and that a new screen would be $2500.00 plus install. We put some black tape over the lines, but new ones kept appearing, then when we decided to replace it, no screens were available. Not bad for a $ 4500.00 TV. Next time around an LCD tv from somewhere else.
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D43U 52-Inch 720p LCD HDTVThis unit was purchased new and used infrequently. Very unhappy as it has now developed a 1.5-2 inch vertical black line running the width of the screen.
I will begin the process of repairing the unit. But it is out of warranty, and if you look on the web, you will see that other owners have had this same problem-and it costs thousands for repair.
I would strongly discourage others from purchasing a Sony TV.
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D43U 52-Inch 720p LCD HDTVI have had the Magnavox 42MF437B 42" LCD HDTV for about 4 months now. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. First of all, we use this TV in our Family room with a DIRECTV HD DVR. I have it set to use the 1080i display from the HD DVR (1080p not available). The picture is very crisp and bright on HD channels that are available. Even using 1080i, fast motion does not seem to have "trails" as I would have expected. I've experimented with 720p vs. 1080i and, to my untrained eye, the higher definition setting even in interlaced is better.
Let me go backward for a minute to when I received the TV. The box itself is pretty ingenious. If you bother to read the directions (which, for once, I actually did), the box is quite helpful in setting up the TV. It allows you to mount the stand and plug in the lower speaker in a safe and secure manner prior to standing it up.
One of the reasons out side of the features this TV appealed to me was the fact that is is 40.9" wide. We have a TV cabinet that I really did not want to replace that could only accommodate a 41" wide set. I had been looking for something that would fit this range so that my +$1,000 TV wouldn't cost me +$2,000 in furniture. Once I assembled the TV it slide in perfectly with virtually no gap on the side of the cabinet. It sort of has a built in look now. The menus for setting up the TV are fairly intuitive and easy to configure.
In the beginning, I was using Dish Network standard service and pulling HDTV over the air with an RCA antenna. This was serviceable but the signal from the OTA side was too week to have reliable service. The TV did just find with the OTA signal when environmental conditions were just right (read, after the sun went down). I am much happier with the DIRECTV HD service now.
All in all, this is a fantastic TV for my needs and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a 42" 1080p TV.
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D43U 52-Inch 720p LCD HDTVI have this TV and I am very happy with it. It has a very nice, bright, crisp picture. It has TRUE 1080 - be careful when looking at sets. 1366 X 728 pixels is 720P HD. 1920 x 1080 is full 1080i/p HD. Often times sellers give the pixels and then say the TV takes 1080i input - this does not mean it can display all those pixels though! Check the pixels if you want 1080, it should have 1920 x 1080 pixels. It has lots of inputs including 2 HDMI (3 would be nicer but many TVs just come with 1).
Now, this is not the most full-featured model and you may be able to find more features for your money. It does not have picture-in-picture (bummer). The menus are navigable, but sparse and somewhat awkward (but not too bad). The automatic format detection is a bit buggy - it may try to automatically change the aspect ratio during the middle of shows and movies and that can be annoying. You just need to manually set the TV to Widescreen in this case.
Overall, I am very happy with the set.
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D43U 52-Inch 720p LCD HDTVI enjoyed this LCD, even though several sources not to trust Magnavox/Philips electronics. The Magnavox has really cheap speakers, a non-universal remote, problems with bright reds, but it was still a decent LCD for the price and had a max res of 1080P. However, after 2.5 months the Magnavox developed a bad column of pixels, which ruined the display.
This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D43U 52-Inch 720p LCD HDTVThis TV is a bit of a coup for Zenith: it's the price leader for direct-view High Definition televisions with built-in HDTV tuners. Without a built-in tuner, you're going to have to spring for an external one to plug into a "HDTV Monitor", and these tuners ain't cheap. Buying the pieces separately puts you over Zenith's price point. There's some real flexibility in the unit as well: it comes with two F-connector coaxial inputs (for instance, cable TV and a DTV antenna) that can tune independently, three composite/S-Video video inputs, and a composite Monitor output. Then there's the real selling points: a component input labeled "DVD" and another labeled "HDTV". ...The "HDTV" input is for 1080i signals, which is the highest resolution described in the ATSC/HDTV specification. This is the input you'd use for an external HDTV tuner, a digital sattelite tuner, etc. It's an interlaced signal, but the resolution is so high you'd never care. However, unlike certain competing products, the 1080i input will not "upsample" lower resolution signals like 480i, 480p and 720p. "Upsampling" means creating a high-resolution signal from a lower one, doubling lines when neccesary. Upsampled signals don't look better than their originals; they're only used for compatibility & convenience. So if you intend to have a variety of component-input type devices using a variety of...
