Sharp Aquos LC-45GD4U 45-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
great television
I recently received this monitor about 10 days after ordering it from Amazon.  The HD picture quality is excellent.  Personally I can't see any compression artifacts, even in scenes with a lot of movement.  Also I have not noticed any dead or stuck pixels. I have not tuned the setting yet, and it seems the reds are a little too much. But the positives are the tv is very bright, I also have not noticed the lack of very \\"black\\" blacks that I have heard plasma owners discuss on message boards.  From a product standpoint the TV has lived up to my expectations. <br /> <br />At first I was nervous about buying such an expensive and fragile purchase online, fearing damage during shipping.  And while the shipping charge of $249 was a lot, it was worth it.  It was delivered to my door, I could have refused shipment if the product was damaged, and it worked straight out of the box.  Only 4 stars because I could not track the order online at amazon.com.  I had to contact customer service, but they sent me the URL for the shipping company within 1 day, at which point I was happy.
