Sharp AQUOS LC-42D43U user reviews

"I am very pleased with Sharp AQUOS LC-42D43U. I have a HD so all the more better pictures. I have hooked up my Wii, DVD player, Camcorder, receiver all to this TV and it still has options for more inputs optical, HDMA, etc. I would definitely recommend this TV. "

--- Sam rated: 3

"Pros:Sharp AQUOS LC-42D43U is easy to work with and with the HSMI inputs makes great for an upscaling DVD and a XBox 360. There is the great advantage of the OPC control that helps in chaging light ambients.

Cons: Would of liked that they had added a better firmware in their remote to work with more products. Also a better color control than the predetermined settings for Color Temp.

Summary: The TV is great for the price I got at Circuit City (799.99) with the bundle for the HDMI cable and wall mount (70 bucks more). The controls for display and the way it shows my computer (I now use it as a Computer monitor as well) are great.

I wish they added more components to control with the remote and if you have an upscaling DVD (Philips is ok to use it with) then you can play a good dvx movie on it.

If you have a computer connected to it it will be a great new monitor, also try to have a wireles mouse and keybord to use it with. The advantage is that you can add labels to the different inputs of the TV and helps when you have different sources connected to it.

Like the fact that the TV has a great black level and that if you go into the tips and tricks section of CNET you can get a pretty good "tutorial" on how to make it display better.

One last thing, the TV can handle different settings for the different inputs and this helps if the picture quality from one source is different than the other one. "

"Strengths:Sharp AQUOS LC-42D43U is Easy to set up and operate. Picture is ok.

Weaknesses: Not a plasma HD but acceptable.

Overall Evaluation: We bought this unit as a second tv in the bedroom. We also have a Panasonic 42" Hd. It is not close to the Plasma picture but it is better than the old tube type.

"Chose the Sharp AQUOS LC-42D43U over 1080 to save some money and because we don't do gaming or expect to hook up a computer to TV. Picture color and model style are excellent. I've been looking at the Aquos model for two to three years. No other brand or model was even considered. The LCD display is as beautiful and colorful as Sharp claims. Very happy with my purchase. Delivery was the only problem. It took way longer than estimated and I blame that on the shipping company, so don't be impatient, especially if you live in a rural area. "
