Awesome TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I seen this TV come up on Slick Deals and was thrilled about the price. After reading the reviews, I made the purchase. It came well package in a way that you could tell it wouldn't get damaged. The TV looked great when I pulled it out of the box, it didn't look cheap. The speakers are on the bottom facing the floor, which is great. After mounting it on the wall and turning it on, the picture was very clear and bright. The smart TV portion was easy to use and it has a Net Flix button. Great TV, I'm glad I made the purchase.

Easy to use. Great Choice.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv was easy to setup and is easy to use. We did need a hdmi cable for it to work with Xfinity, the regular cable would not give us a picture. It could be a problem in the future that every time you turn on the tv you must use the sharp tv remote to select your viewing source (cable, Netflix, dvd, etc.) I'm not sure if this remote can be purchased in the future. We tend to lose or break them. A universal remote did not seem to work for this selection. You can use the cable remote to turn the tv on and off. The picture quality is very good if your in front of the tv. If your in another room at an angle the color fades off, it looks lighter. Once mounted the tv is about 3 3/4 inches from the wall. It looks sleek and classy. Ours needed to be mounted close to a wall so there is no access to the side panel. Also, be sure to to hook up all cables including dvd wires before hanging the tv. We had to take it partially off the wall again to get them plugged in. I have had the tv for a few months and I think this tv was a great choice.

Fabulous picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always bought Sharp TV's Great Picture and sound. I also recently acquired the Samsung which is also good but I have had a Sharp TV since 1995 and the picture and sound is as clear and steady as if it were brand new. I also love the Roku that comes with this particular 50" TV.I have so much faith in Sharp products most of my appliances are made by Sharp. Excellent TV

Good Mid level TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy everything about this tv. -picture is sharp -sound is decent The smart features of the Roku are easy to use and navigate. Only things it needed would be a universal remote for cable box operation, and a ethernet jack for more streaming consistency.

I disappointed to the Bestbuy Help service :(
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yesterday, I varied happy because I received my smart TV. But now I am so sad. When I turned on, I found the left side of the screen does not display. But, It does not matter, sometimes it can happen to someone. The thing made me sad is the Bestbuy's help service. I'm a foreign worker. Although English is not the primary language, I can communicate with other American in the company without big trouble. To replace or exchange with new one, I called to the Help service. After waiting more than 10 min, I could reach out someone over the phone. But he quit the call after I asked: "please speak again slowly." And I tried to call again, again for more than 30 min. But I couldn't reach out there. I spending sad time this Friday night.

LOVE IT...LOVE IT...LOVE IT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since purchasing this TV I have not been disappointed. The picture is clear, and my video games look really good. It was originally purchased for my bedroom but, has been moved to the living room so I guess I will by a second one :-) I also have LED lights on the back of it and it looks cool when watching a movie or playing a game.

Q: QuestionWhy do you people keep buying 60hz refresh rate? This is terrible! Shuddering and delay all the time and yet you rate ot 4.9/5.0 ????
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Actually, outside of heavy sport usage video games (which I'd recommend a more expensive 120hz gaming monitor for), anything beyond 60hz has no real usage. It is advised you turn it off for most television and all movie viewing (films are at 29.7fps so it would look terrible on movies), so if you don't fall in the sports or heavy gaming categories, it is a pointless feature and people should not feel bad buying a TV that doesn't output 120hz or higher. If your tv has heavy shuddering and delay, it might be a manufacturing issue or something else. Ghosting shouldn't really be noticeable on most stuff you watch.

Q: QuestionCan sharp please stop commenting on all the W's with the same generic answer? Don't they realize we are asking the question on the Best Buy Q&A form so that we don't have to call their number and wait on hold for 30 minutes
Asked by Bobby.
- A:Answer I am in so agreement with you. I noticed Sharp didn't respond to your comment....loolol.... I was expecting to review answers from them on all the questions so I can make a sound decision to purchase or not and none of the answers from Sharp are actual answers !!!! They all say call the 800#. If that's the case, what is the friggin point of this Q&A section ???????

Q: QuestionDoes anyone have a problem with an order coming from the tv??
Asked by Peachie.
- A:Answer Yes it has noticeable odor ! Bought this Sharp 50" ( LC-50LB481U ) at BestBuy on Sun afternoon, Apr 9th. Thought the smell was new coatings,labels, and components getting heated up and baking-in a little. Next day the smell was present in the room without turning it on. So now I'm working on day number 4, and smell is still quite noticeable. As a retired electronics engineer, I'd say the smell is similar to a burned component on a circuit board, or like a transformer that has overheated and baked the internal resin. But I'm still waiting to see some bad symptom show up in the picture or the audio. So far, after totaling 14 hours of operation time, everything still seems to be working fine. BestBuy allows 15 days to return a TV for exchange, so I hope something changes soon. Since only one other person mentioned this problem in a question or a review, I gotta believe this is a problem that will eventually cause a hassle requiring multiple interactions with the Geek Squad warranty people. Oh well, let's see what happens by day 14. Anyone else with a ' stinky ' TV ?
