Awesome picture but sound could be better 
2008-03-26
I bought this TV since it percieved it to be the highest value for money in 37" segment. The other TV I was considering was Samsung which was at least $150 more expensive at that time.
Pros:
1) The picture quality is very good and noticably equivalent to Samsung. 2) Personally I think the TV looks much better than Samsung as a furniture (when shut-off).
Cons:
1) The max sound is very low. I need mostly around 80% of max vol and for some movies even the max volume is diffucult to hear if you have a air blower (a/c or heater) running at the same time.
Adding additional speakers is pretty much required for this TV.
Excellent value

Extremely clear and sharp with HD content. Automatically adjusts screen ratio for best picture. 2 HDMI inputs greatly simplifies installation. PC input terrific also. Placed this in the Master Bedroom and it is now the preferred viewing spot. Highly recommend for all small screen installations.
Solid 720P 2008-03-19
There is an overwhelming variety of HDTVs out there. Before buying this, I did hours of research, and settled on this Sharp as a compromise between price and quality of picture.
There are some 1-star reviews of this set, but personally, I always question the source. Because the ratings on AMZ and other sites have become so popular, you shouldn't think it is beyond manufacturers to place negative reviews on competitor's products.
I found that the HD picture quality was excellent, even though it doesn't take full advantage of the 1080i signal from DirecTV. Compared to standard def, you'll be amazed with the detail shown on this set.
Right now, this TV is a good bargain. The size is plenty big for average-sized living rooms. I gave it four stars because of the lack of PIP. When 1080P becomes the standard, that will be time to upgrade.
GREAT TV, BUT!!

The Layman's Summary:
Love what I've read about the T.V. Spent weeks researching the best value around. Sharp is a good brand. Purchased it online (first time I've ever bought something with this large of a price tag...because if something goes wrong...then what? Can't go back to Circuit City or Best Buy when you purchase it from someplace you've never heard of in NJ).
I digress...
Received the T.V. yesterday. I'm excited. Family is excited. Wired it up. Turned it on and PRESTO! A thin vertical black banding line the width of coffee straw is ever-present one-inch to the right of the screen's center running the entire height of the screen. I'm upset. Family is upset. Dog hasn't stop howling. Worst fears of making big ticket online purchases are confirmed.
Emailed 6ave and Sharp customer service that evening for resolution. Received an email AND a personal call from 6ave customer service who took the time to set up a SHARP service agent to repair the T.V. Sharp had me take some pictures and send them in for review, which I have done. Awaiting action.
6ave gets credit for jumping on the problem ASAP, but receiving a brand new T.V. that's broke from the get go is not a way to improve customer satisfaction and repeat future purchases.
SHARP ARE YOU LISTENING?!
Impressed 2008-02-08
The Sharp Aquos LC37D43U 37" LCD HDTV is -SHARP-, clear, bright and has more input ports than I expected. The Sharp Aquos LC37D43U 37" LCD HDTV is not the cutting edge 1080P res that you might be looking for but at half the price and my eyes I couldn't justify any other set also, I really like the minimal look -not so much box and a lot more viewable screen (I wanted a TV not an alter built around one!).
I also like the PC port, I've gotten rid of my 19" LCD... wouldn't you!?
All and All very satisfied.
w00t!!! 2008-06-09
I LOVE my new tv. I got it because it fit in my space good and I am amazed at how good it looks and sounds. I would highly recommend this tv. I think for a TV under 40" you don't really need the 1080 dpi. I did a lot of research and this is teh one I got it is sweet!
100% Satisfied... 2008-05-12
I bought this television five months ago, and could not be happier. My buddy bought a 41 inch 1080p LG at the same time, and i can not see one single bit of difference in picture quality between the two. Xbox 360 looks every bit as good in 1080i on my tv as PS3 does in 1080p on his, same with hd cable tv and blu ray. All in all, this is the largest size 720p set you can buy with no difference in picture, and i swear to you that there is absolutely NO difference. I love this tv, i dont quite understand the opc setting, as it dims and brightens the picture according to darkness, but is sort of annoying so i leave it off, and the only other problem is the cord falls out when you move the television, but how often do you do that. I now swear by sharp, and i had previously had a very strong loyalty to samsung. Another buddy is a sony guy, and he is planning on a sharp next time around, even though he had just purchased a 1080p sony. Out of the box, it is so bright it hurt my eyes, which is good...which is good. The color and blacks are amazing. Dont hesitate for a second to buy this set, you will not be sorry.
Great picture quality! 2008-05-12
Chose this TV after months on reading reviews, watching friend's TVs and in-store TVs. Very happy with the Sharp. Works great with upconverting and normal DVD. Also was very pleasantly suprised with the clarity of off-air TV with my 20 year old bunny ears - digital stations are so much better than anything I ever got with my old tube TV and very clear w/ RD and HD signals - and I live 20+ miles from the broadcasts. No prolems at all. Like many other reviewers, the sound is ok, but am happy I got surround sound system in addition to TV (combo DVD, radio/stereo, surround, mp3 input). Again very happy - and do not miss or regret 1080p at all!
great purchase 2008-04-08
i have a few friends that purchased sharp aquos and having been able to watch it and inspect it first hand helped in making the decision to get one myself. i'm the type that is very hesitant in making such big ticket purchases. i tend to research things to death and find it hard to commit since so much money is being spent on it. so after 2 months of researching, i finally made the decision to go with the sharp. i do not regret it for one minute. i love it! but in order to enjoy all that my new HD tv had to offer, i had to upgrade to an HD cable box (a must to have the full experience of HD television).
all in all, this was a great purchase. the quality is amazing, design is sleek and compact, and a wonderful product.
Great Product! Fast Shipping. A++++ 2008-04-05
The HDTV works great in High Definition, Basic Cable, DVD and even as a monitor for my PC.
