I was not going to review this TV, but when I read the first review up here I thought I should go ahead and add my two cents. First of all, it does not seem like a big issue to me that the TV does not come with a wall mounting stand. I do not think LCD TVs like this normally do come with that (a buddy of mine just bought a larger Sony for over $2G and it did not come with a stand). I have mine sitting on a TV stand anyway, so this was really not an issue for me. Secondly, I do not think it is accurate that this model is being discontinued. When I got my TV I was told that this was a new line and that they were just coming out (2-3 weeks ago). The fact that there are virtually no reviews of the TV on the internet seems to support that point. So I think that is misinformation.

I was worried about the fact that the TV is 60hz and not 120hz like many of the TVs coming out now (or even 240hz). It appears to me that I was worried over nothing as I do not see any issues at... Read more

I have the TV for about 2 weeks now. Overall it is a good value for the price, but I think there are a couple of shortcomings that I am not sure are specific to this TV or to LCD's generally. The main issue is getting the color and brightness settings right. The TV comes with a feature that automatically sets color, brightness and sharpness(I believe the feature is called "OSC" or some similar acronym) based on the lighting in the room. I found that if this feature is turned on, the picture is extremely dull. Only after turning this feature off and manually adjusting the brightness, color and sharpness on my own does the picture have the bright color and crispness one would expect from a high definition television. The second concern relates to the picture quality itself. When an object is not moving quickly, the picture is sharp; but if someone or something is moving, there is a bit of a blurry effect that does not allow the TV picture to "focus" on the object and render it...

I've had this tv for a few weeks now and I'm quite happy with it. The picture is great. Sound is very good for a flat panel LCD. I currently have my HD cable box connected to it and my Playstation 3. I also am using an DVI to HDMI cable which connects my laptop to my tv. This hookup is great for watching tv shows over the web (like from Hulu), or also as a photo viewer. Blue-ray movies look amazing. Video games on my PS3 look amazing. I was not a big fan of the "champaign" colored accent on the bottom but once I got the tv home, it is very subtle, much less noticeable than in the picture on this website. I also like how the screen is not one of those ultra glossy ones that reflects too much. Also, as you'll read below, this tv is not a discontinued model. It is a new 2009 model and is active on Sharp's website. For the price, I will say you can't really go wrong here. You'll be very happy with it.
