Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to element any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports sample, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a distinct cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).
DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides an uncompressed remove of high definition video from a digital video source (such as a cable/satellite set-top box or PC) to a digital expose device. Unlike HDMI, it delivers only video--you will need a separate RCA or digital wire for delivering audio.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides bifurcate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for feel ashamed information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video dam up) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Customer Reviews
Costly radioWorked important for 10 months. Many stations over the air with old rabbit ears, even those 50 miles away. Then started losing signals for adjoining stations and getting sound without picure. Got repairs[new tuning board]under warrany which took 8 weeks for parts. Repairman said a covet wait for parts is the norm for Sharp. A week after repair it happened again. Repairman came and did a rescan for stations and told me Sharp has this difficulty all the time and needs constant rescanning every couple of weeks. Before he left the picture went out again. He turned TV off and on and there was perfect example inform for a few seconds and then just sound, like before. He tried several times to get picture to stay on but it lasted a few flash at best. He said problem was with ballast which can't be replaced. Repair company contacted Sharp. By the space they got back it was out of warranty and they wanted $328 to replace it. Have a long term repair deal so didn't pay. Question got worse- now down to 5 stations and missing local one. Waiting 3 months for another tuner due to high on request on call.
Have to whack side [gently] to get picture to come back on. Sometimes picture goes off within seconds, sometimes stays on a while. indubitably a defective connection.
So basically I have a radio.
My old Toshiba worked flawlessly for 22 years and took another year for represent to shrink to tiny.
Lousy product, lousy customer service, lousy parts fill. Not worth the grief. Go Sony or Toshiba even if more expensive.
outgoing 32 inch lcd
This is subtle sized LCD for my smaller living room. Great picture quality, High explication broadcast over cable comes in great. DVDs play well. Big improvement of my previous analog tv set.
No image at all, not resolved through sharp.
I bought this TV on 10/9/06 and in 5/08, with the guarantee expired, the TV began to lose the picture completely, no menus no picture. It did this periodically for meagre periods of time at first and now it spends the majority of the time just black with sound. I dare say I will have to try to get it repaired but am pretty sure that I am just screwed. I purposely purchased this TV (which was more expensive than comparable sets) because of the status picture quality and the EXPECTATION that it was of better quality than them, in other words as an investment. I am extremely thwarted and the company has pretty much responded to my call to them by saying, "Tough break, try to fix it." They have not responded to emails.
I Am Soul Satisfied.
I've had this TV for a few months now, and it's carrying-on has been flawless. The picture is gorgeous. (NB: Change the "mode" to standard instead of dynamic, which is the flash factory setting.) The 6ms response time means no blurring. Not a single bad pixel.
My run-of-the-mill picture, which I receive through Dish Network satellite, is very good, but I got an extra bonus that I didn't believe. I stuck an old rabbit ears and bow tie antenna to the antenna jack just for laughs, and lo and note, I now receive fabulous High Definition broadcasts from all the local stations. This was totally unexpected, because I no more than got standard TV signals (thus, the satellite). Caution: Most of the source material isn't recorded in high-def, even though it's a "tipsy-def broadcast". But when you have a real high-def picture, believe me, you'll notice the difference! Watching sports in boisterous-def is a revelation.
Final advantage: HDMI jacks for the best possible connection to your DVD punter, etc. Highly recommended.
DOA
We ordered this TV on November 18th. Out of the box it displayed nothing but flippantly colored lights. We tried to resolve the issue, calling customer service and checking on-form ranks help etc. After days and days of frustration with customer service, they insisted we send them digital photos of what the TV magnificence looked like, I guess they didnt believe what we were telling them. We sent pictures, and after we nagged them relentlessly for several MORE duration they agreed to have the TV serviced. Several days after that a local TV repair shop called to make an assignment, and we assumed they would actually fix the TV since we were also told a board would be sent to them. All they did was take the TV back to their shop, they'll be in touch in a "few days". Here it is a month later and we still dont have a working TV. What a depression all the way around.
