Q: Why 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 ????

A: 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: Can 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

A: 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: Which is a better brand sharp or insignia?

A: Hello Ter, Sharp takes pride in delivering quality products that are affordable. We can suggest reviewing the specifications of each model to make an informed decision based on what suits your needs.

Q: When I power on tv it does not go direct to tv .I have to use small remote to get to cable full size picture on tv

A: You can change it by going to "settings" "system" "power" then select the input that the tv will boot up to when it's turned on.

Q: Does this tv have an audio out

A: yes an audio out via 3.5mm and optical out as well

Q: Does anyone have a problem with an order coming from the tv??

A: 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 ?

Q: To get local tv channels do i need an extra converter for that or will this tv scan for channels?

A: It will scan for channels. You just need some type of antenna. I have one in my attic.
