Decent picture and sound for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this mostly due to the price. The picture quality is good not great and the sound is not bad. My biggest complaint would be the lag between the picture and the sound. I loop the sound back to my A/V receiver using a digital audio cable. When I turn my receiver on, the sound is a good 2 to 3 seconds off from the picture. Very annoying and the adjustment in the sound menu adjusts it in the wrong direction making the difference even worse. We no longer use the receiver because of this. I wouldn't buy it again.

Difficulties with picture adjustment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price was right, but I am having problems getting the screen just right. On my Samsung and Panasonic HDTVs i was able to dial in the picture so it looks just right. On my Sharp 60" the picture consistantly looks great and vibrant but on the 50" the setting menu is different and I am still adjusting. Seems the over air hd images have different settings than standard tv. And it appears the longer I have the tv on, the better the screen gets.

HDMI didnot work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not all of the HDMI ports works so I returned it. It did have a very nice picture, a little better than the Visio I replaced this with.
I would recommend this to a friend Good price...just so so picture.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went to the local store to look at a different brand TV. After seeing that one I checked out all the others in the size I was interested in. At the store I was impressed with this Sharps and thought it might work for me, so I bought it. It works ok... but that's about the best I can say. Took it back and spent the extra for the one I researched to began with. When I answer the next question about recommending to a friend, I would if you need cheap.

bad picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned an purchased a Samsung 4K. Slightly more money but worth it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Decent for the $$
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is ok. The price was right, but it has its flaws, the sound quality isnt great, and sometimes during really dark scenes you struggle to see things. Also it feels like you are watching a soap opera sometimes as the people will look real but the back ground looks out of place, if that makes any sense at all.

OK TV for price but had issues within a week
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is OK, not as crystal clear as I'd like but you get what you pay for. After having a week, the picture went to black and white. Issue appeared to be in the cable hook up on the TV. Coaxial worked fine but the wires caused it to be a black and white picture. Returned to the store and purchased a different brand.
