this TV has everything, good image, good sound, etc... I highly recommend

My old plasma TV died after only 3 years, so I needed a TV and didn't have time to shop around and compare. I am very pleased with the Sharp 50". The picture quality is excellent. It was easy to set up with my home theater system.

Great tv for the price. Sound quality is awesome. Features full hd output. Multiple hdmi inputs. Makes movie and video games look great.

Good picture, fast refresh rate makes for a good picture and use for video games on xbox. Easy to setup and use. Good luck finding a better TV for the money.

Have really liked this TV so far. It's simple, no fancy features. Good picture quality but nothing stunning.

Very easy to setup and the picture quality is just as I imagined a $399 50" TV (not the best), but I have about 3 inches on the right side of the screen that is blank. I've tried to adjust the settings on the Dish settings as well as the Sharp settings, and it doesn't help. I will need help in what I do to return this TV. Again, I don't mind the quality for the price, I just would like the TV to show the image on the entire screen.

When I went shopping for a new TV, aside from a few bells and whistles which I'll cover later, there were only a few specific brands that I would even consider purchasing a unit from. Those brands were Sony, Samsung, LG, and Sharp. Best Buy had run an add for a larger Sharp Aquos TV that I was considering buying as it had gone on sale the week I bought this set. While on the sales floor, I spied a floor display for this unit and looked at the differences between the two sets. My wish list for bells and whistles wasn't very long. I just wanted a set that was 1080p, had 120Hz or higher refresh rate, and had more than 2 HDMI ports in the back. I was holding out for 4 HDMI but relented on this unit which only has 3. More on the ports in a minute. The picture itself is nice. I had previously owned a 60" TV so it was a little jarring for me to go down to a 50" but as far as gaming and movie watching go, I have seemed to adjusted. I've played all of the last gen systems on this TV (XB360, PS3, and WiiU) and they all look great. I've yet to notice and slowdown or motion blur while I'm gaming but to be fair, I don't use my consoles nearly as much as I should. I did notice some slowness in the picture when I hooked up my PC to the TV through the HDMI port. I had wanted to see a CGI cinematic in 120Hz and that's when I noticed it chugged a bit. That was a little disappointing and a contributing factor to only being a 4-star review. On the back of the set there are 3 HDMI in as mentioned previously, VGA in, and Component Video In which can also accept Composite Video.This is probably the most aggravating part of the TV for me because on the more expensive Aquos I was going to buy, I got a good look at the back of the unit and fell in love with the ports arrangement/setup. I (wrongly) assumed that this smaller unit would look much the same port layout as it's bigger brother but that wasn't the case at all and it gave me a bit of buyer's remorse once it was out of the box. In the end I sucked it up and decided to keep the unit rather than going back and paying $300 more for the set I had originally planned to buy. The biggest reason is that the unit does the job I need it to and I don't use/watch TV nearly enough to let it bother me. The only really bad thing about this set was that I saw it pop up on the Best Buy Deal of the Day while I was on vacation the following week after buying mine and it was $150 cheaper than what I paid. Oops! =\ The unit itself is simple and straightforward looking. It certainly won't be a conversation piece in terms of technical prowess but it also won't disappoint you and your friends if you happen to be watching the game on it. The only true knock I have was for the handheld remote. It looks incredibly cheap and generic and looks like something you'd buy as a cheap replacement remote. While it is effective, I can't get past how flimsy and cheap it feels. I've bought universal remotes for older TVs that have looked and felt more nice than this thing. Long story short...this is a good purchase for a lower-middle of the road TV buyer. It's not a SmartTV so you won't get all the nonsense that goes along with that (which may not be a bad thing really). If you own a lot of game consoles/HDMI devices and you want them all hooked up, you'll have to invest in some multi-port HDMI adapters. I also wish the PC connection to the unit was DV-I instead of VGA. The sound is good but invest in a soundbar. Overall grade for this TV: B For all of the shortcomings I've mentioned though I would definitely recommend this unit over anything that Element, Insignia or Vizio make.
