Sharp Aquos LC-45GD4U 45-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
I bought the next generation LC-445GD7U only available at Magnolia HIFI
The newer TV LC- 46GD7U, whick will probably be available at most big box stores soon, has a beautiful picture.  However, there are problems with hooking it up to Comcast Cable if you use the cable card or cable box.  There is NO documentation to tell you this in the manual so I spent more than 3 hours (with no help from the Sharp customer support) to figure it out.  Most tvs require you to input the cable only to the \\"digital cable in\\" input, not with this tv. There is absolutely no documentation in the manual to help you out how to solve this problem. This TV requires a split cable cord output to the digital cable input and to the analog input.  Then you must wait 24 hours for the TV to download the full digital system and, only then can you insert the cable card to the cable card slot. If you insert the cable card before then, you fry the cable card and have to get a new cable card.  Sharp Corporation does nothing to help you! The manual is a joke and no where do they list a customer support telephone number in the manual or any of the documentation that comes with the TV.  I had to find the customer support number on line.  It is obvious that Sharp does not want you to call them or provide any customer support.   <br /> <br />Don't buy this TV if you are not willing to put up with crappy service from Sharp.  They have a long way to go in terms of manual documentation and customer support. <br /> <br />The reason I bought this tv was because it was not a plasma and supposedly does not have the problems with plasma tvs.  But the price was twice higher than a plasma.  Next time I will buy two plasmas and if one breaks, I will throw one away.
