Sharp LC-32D4U AQUOS 32-Inch Flat Panel HD-Ready LCD TV
Sharp Aquos has quality issues
Original message from June 2006:  Bought Sharp Aquos, loved it - great picture, sound. However, it died in one week. It would turn off by itself occassionally, and then a couple of days later it died for good. Only a flashing LED.    Looked on the internet for problems with Aquos, and saw a whole slew of people have issues. It dies for more than one reason. Sharp Customer support got me to take it to a local repair shop, and it took 4 WEEKS to get it fixed. Very frustrating experience. Brand new TV sitting at a repair shop for 4 weeks. There were several other Aquos (different sizes, models) sitting in the shop.    Once it was fixed, the picture and everything looks great. Based on what I gathered from various other reviews on different sites, it is a great design, but Sharp has quality issues. Don't know what percentage of the TV suffer the \\"infant mortality\\".    Update (Nov 5,2006)  In Sept, the TV started acting up again. In October, it died again for good. Sharp has agreed to exchange it with, I am assuming, a new set. Currently waiting on the replacement.
