Sharp - 43" Class - LED - 1080p - Smart - HDTV Roku TV

I got this TV about a year and a half ago with my roommates and we loved it- worked perfectly. We moved with it to our new house this year, still working great, but about a week ago the Roku couldn't stay connected to the internet, and the TV would restart itself randomly, both making it impossible to stream television. I tried everything- factory reset, network reset, system update, unplugging both TV and internet modem, nothing worked (I also have two other TVs in my house connecting to the internet just fine). I called Best Buy and they said for the amount it would cost to have someone come out and repair it, I might as well just buy a Fire Stick or a new TV. Took his advice and got a Fire Stick, which solved my internet problem, but the TV was still shutting on and off randomly, which made it miserable watching TV. We had to get a new TV entirely. I've heard stories about technology crashing right when your warranty would have expired, super bummed to see it happen in real life. Long story short- great TV, doesn't last.

I wasn't sure about the Roku TV versus getting a smart tv when I was looking in the store. We were only looking for a bedroom TV so we took the chance on it. It's absolutely perfect for the bedroom. We don't need a cable box, It is very easy to use. Comes with some apps set up on it, and has many more that you can add. We added our cable provider's app, plus a few additional apps such as comedy central. It's very easy to set up with on screen instructions. Additionally, the remote control is very user friendly, though small. I really like the volume buttons on the side and the added mute button right below it. This TV is perfect for someone that doesn't want to have a cable box. We do have cable in the house and are able to use additional apps because of it. Even if you do not have cable, you would be able to use the free apps if you have internet.

I'm cheap and "technologically challenged." (I'm 70 years young.) All I wanted was a decent TV for my bedroom. Price was a major consideration. I didn't even know what ROKU was. I had heard of Firestick. I began looking at this Sharp "ROKU" 43 set purely because of the low price and because it was the right size, plus I've had good experiences with Sharp products. The salesman started telling me the pros and cons of Roku vs Fire and my eyes clouded over. What was he even trying to explain? Well, I got this gem home and was blown away. There was so much free content (which I had no idea I would receive) that I was initially overwhelmed. Bottom line, I could not believe all this TV delivered. It was way more than I expected and for such a low price! I love it. Great picture, nice sound. (It did take me a minute to learn how to navigate the menus, but it was well worth the effort. After about a month or so, I am still amazed at all I got. Best deal I ever made.

If you're familiar with Roku's interface and remote, this TV will be up your alley, as the splash screen is very similar to Roku's home screen and the remote is the Roku remote. If you want a TV to come on to your cable box or antenna at start up, you will need to adjust your expectations. But it's worth it! No one has a better screen than Sharp. This is my 4th and the resolution, clarity and color depth is as good as my Sharp Quattron 70" (the one that had Sulu saying "Oh my"). Navigating between inputs is easy from the splash screen; no pressing Input and scrolling down to the attached device. Just cursor over to what you want, hit OK and it's playing. Plenty of HDMI inputs. Sure footed if you want to set it on a cabinet and easy to mount on the wall. Great TV for an even greater price. Step up to quality!

This TV is just so simple. It makes sense, nothing throughout the setup is confusing. Amazing screen quality. I'm able to watch Netflix and YouTube and listen to Music on good platforms like pandora and amazon music. The volume has a really good range. The app on the phone is amazing, it’s so cool that you can listen to the TV through your phone in headphone mode, so if anyone is trying to sleep you can just play the tv through your headphones and don't have to buy some special tv headset like I used to use. There's so much more than I've explained, and I'll leave it to you to find all the other amazing features. All you need to know is, BEST TV EVER

I purchased this TV as a Christmas and Birthday gift for a relative. It would not connect to Wifi and I could not return the new TV to Best Buy because of the return policy for online orders. I spent 3 hours on the phone with a Sharp representative who determined that I needed a Wifi card so they contacted the Geek Squad. The representative arrived at my home only to determine that a part needed to be ordered. The same part that was mentioned during my 3 hour phone call with a Sharp representative a week before. I took off from work to have the repair completed which never happened. I'm very disappointed in the level of customer service offered by Best Buy and the manufacturer. It would have been easier for them to just replace the TV.

After setting the unit up the display worked fine for about two minutes. Then the entire left side of the screen displayed a linear pattern completely covering that side of the screen. I unplugged the TV and restarted with no change. I turned it off and back on with no change. I turned it off and waited about 30 minutes before turning it back on, and it worked fine ...for about a minute, then the same area of the screen was covered with a slightly different linear pattern. I depressed the reset button with no change. I will be returning the unit today.

I purchased this TV as a present for my fiancé last November. 3 weeks ago a horizontal line showed up in the middle of the TV which then spread in a matter of weeks. I called Best Buy as TV was still under warranty and they sent out a tech to try to resolve the issue. Tech could not fix and they replaced TV without issue. I have later found out that this line issue happens to many TV brands. I am thankful to Best Buy and the Geek Squad for their timely resolution. If you are worried about this situation happening; the additional warranty would be a good purchase as after the manufacturer’s warranty is up you would be out of luck.
