Sharp LC-37D6U Aquos 37-Inch LCD HDTV
Fantastic HDTV TV!
Took possession of the D6U in January...just in time for the Super Bowl.  I think an HDTV should be judge in 3 areas:<br /><br />* Picture resolution/viewing angle/brightness<br /><br />* Inputs<br /><br />* Tangibles (look, etc)<br /><br />* Support<br /><br />What's to Like:<br /><br />The D6U will handle up to 1080i.  This will hold any viewer over for many years to come.  Even now some of the best HDTV broadcast are done in 720p....so 1080 i should provide many years of excellent TV viewing.  The set has excellent viewing angles...170/170...meaning you can actually sit to the side of this set and still see the picture.  The set also has a 4000:1 contrast ratio...so the colors are very bright and pop off the screen.  DIn addition, DVDs look stunning!<br /><br />There are 4 inputs in the D6U.  The standard S-video, component, HDMI and digital audio.  This provides more than enough inputs for todays components...DVR, Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, etc.<br /><br />Looks....the set looks great.  It is almost a brushed nuckle, metallic polish look to the set...whould look great in any decor.  Finally, support.  I initially purchased the 32 inch model, but one of the inputs would not automatically detect the cable attached to the set.  I called Sharp support for some troubleshooting guidance.  They walked me through a system reset...but the set still did not respond.  Sharp stated that an Aquos Support staff member would call to further help.  However, I decided to simply return the TV for the next model up (37 inch D6U).  I did not notify Sharp of what happened so in the next three days Sharp called my house in an effort to help me resolve the issue (left a message on the answering machine).  Finally, they sent a letter since I didn't return the phone calls (was alittle busy).  I later called and gave them an update.  Overall...this was the best customer service followup I have ever received.  The customer service was top notch and they really seemed to care about resolving the issue!<br /><br />What not too like:<br /><br />Number of HDMI inputs.  Many sets coming out this Spring and into the Christmas buying season will go to two HDMI inputs.  Very helpful with next gen technologies and Set Top boxes using the HDMI input.<br /><br />This is my first LCD HDTV set....and I couldn't be happier.  The set produces an excellent picture, vibrant sound and has enough inputs to satisfy any viewer.  Highly recommend!sue! <br /> <br />What not too like: <br /> <br />Number of HDMI inputs.
