DAVID's reviewJanuary 05, 2011
If you can afford to buy a 52 inch lcd every 6 months this is definitely the TV for you.I purchased one of these TV in May 2009, it broke down in November 2009. When I try to turn it on the power light will just go into blink mode. Contacted Sharp who contacted a local dealer. The dealer, at Sharp’s request asked me to bring the TV into them. The dealer was in constant contact with Sharp who, I am told, sent various parts to be changed. The dealer had the TV until August 2010 and it was still not working. I was told by the dealer that i should collect my TV as Sharp had indicated that I would have to send the TV back to the US to have it fixed. I took it to a repair man who fixed it in a few hours. It worked for two months and started doing the blink thing again. It is now with the repair man again. I have however, purchased a Sony 55 inch in November 2010 and it seems to be working well so far.

I have owned this TV for over a year now and I am still thrilled about it. The color is great and it looks good in my Man Cave. I have purchased a Sharp Sound bar and that has added to the excitement. Well worth the money….
