There was a whole in the box and the screen was shattered. They would not send
me another TV until they received it back It was FedX’s problem, but the
vendor said it was mine. I did not reorder from them I ordered one from
QVC as I should have in the first place and received it before the other company aknowledged that that had received the broken one even though we had a signed note showing they had it
in hand. Took a lot of phone calls, to get a refund. Once again, I will order only items that Amazon packs or stick with the best customer service in the business, QVC.
Sincerely a disappointed,
Ann Whitney Great tv just don’t buy it here. QVC got to me pronto.

I have a Sony 32XBR in my living room – which is an excellent TV – highly recommend
I bought the LC-32D44U for a little more than half the price of the Sony for bed room
Hard for me to say how much better the Sony is to this one
I guess the Sharp is about 75% comparing picture and sound
Colors are ‘better’ on Sony – across the board
Shadow detail is better on Sony but not by as great a margin as color diff
Both are sluggish channel changing but Sharp is twice as slow
Mine developed a very annoying buzz emanating from the lower tv housing after about a week
Took the back off (sorta) and put little foam sticky dots wherever the back and front touched and buzz is gone
This tv is good for the money and am ok with the purchase – but – I wish I had of waited a little longer (saved up more $$) and got the 37XBR for liv rm and moved 32 to bed rm

I purchased this TV several months ago, and it has from day one had a problem with the color brightness. My screen no matter what AV mode it is in grows dark, then light. If it is a night scene, it just grows dark, and you can’t see anything. So I thought this isn’t right, and Sharp came out to fix my TV. So far they have put in a new board, and it hasn’t gotten any better. I called Sharp again to say hey, my TV still doesn’t work right, and they told me to adjust my AV controls. So, this isn’t effective, and basically also does not allow you to watch the TV in different AV modes.
I was told by a Sharp represenative in this older generation of TV the TV attempts to adjust the contrast itself, and well it basically gets it wrong sometimes, and you just have to put up with it. They don’t make them like this now, but if you have an older model, too bad. Seriously? I think the picture on this TV stinks, whether you are watching a DVD, playing a game, or watching TV this issue acts up all of the time. I will pretty much not buy another Sharp product again until I exhaust ever other model of products.
My advice, if you really want a Sharp TV get a newer generation or be prepared to have contrast issues, and never to really see a night scene on your TV again.

Well I keep hearing good things but having bought one today I’m not at all impressed. If the shop is open on Sundays this is going back in the morning, simply as the picture quality is so poor.
It distorts horribly. If the camera pans across a room, you see things such as doors or windows, or people’s faces, changing shape.
At first I thought it was some kind of deliberate effect for the movie I was watching, as it’s like the view of a wide angle lens. Then when the movie ended, guess what? It wasn’t the movie, it’s the TV. Now maybe I’m using the “wrong” cables or something but I see no excuse for such distortion. The image quality is worse than our old CRT set.
Talking of cables, we’re unable to watch DVDs as it only has the connectors on the back for one unit at a time. Sure, there’s a bunch of other connectors but both our sat’ box and DVD player use the same red, yellow and white cables. This pile of C can only handle one set of such cables. Rather than buy more cables I’d rather buy a different TV. Oh, another thing, spent an hour or more digging around the house to find some suitable screws, as the screws for the stand were missing from the box.
I am deeply unimpressed. I should add I didn’t get this from Amazon but I doubt it would make any difference. I’m online right now seeing if there is any known solution or if it’s a common problem.
