Sharp LC-32D5U 32-Inch LCD TV
satisfied, nice TV
I have had this set for about 6 months now.  Overall, I am very satisfied with it and have had no reliability problems.  It was chosen based on size (fits nicely in my existing cabinet), image quality in the retail store (hooked up to HDTV), portability of LCD sets in general, and price (on sale at a local retailer).<br /><br />TV-Guide feature: Nice when it works, but quirky.  After an initial 24hr download period, it displays the channels and TV schedule. However, there have been several long periods where the program information disappears saying \\"No Data\\".  I assume this is a data deficiency on the part of my local cable company rather than the TV, but I don't know for sure.  It seems to resume functioning at will.  When the TV guide is out of action, I get the TV schedule off the internet as needed.  Even when the program data is out, it still displays the channel logos, which are helpful for channel navigation.<br /><br />Image quality: In the spirit of Duke Ellington's famous quote \\"If it sounds good, it IS good\\", the screen resolution seems pretty good to me.  Of course I upgraded to this set from a 27\\" conventional set so I suppose my standards may be less refined than other reviewers. I don't have HDTV yet.  I did buy an up-convert DVD player (Samsung DVD-HD850) which is connected via HDMI, with a very noticeable improvement in image quality.  DVDs are very pleasing in 1080i.  I'm sure HDTV will be as well whenever I am able to make that upgrade.<br /><br />Sound:  Good.  DVD sound is routed through my home theater system rather than the TV.  TV sound is not bad.  I agree with the previous reviewer in that the Dolby simulation sounds cheesy.  But I can easily live without it.<br /><br />Customer Service:  haven't needed it!<br /><br />Final opinion:  although perhaps not the sine-qua-non of HDTV, I am very satisfied with this set and would recommend it without reservation as a nice, portable, reliable 16:3 set which will accomodate HDTV and HDMI devices.devices.
