4 comments about Sharp LC26SH20U 26-Inch LCD HDTV with Integrated ATSC Tuner.

1. This is a nice lightweight hdtv with crisp picture, clear distinct sound, easy setup and remote variable adjustable controls for picture, sound, other connections such as a dvd player, and can be wall mounted. However, it does change analog channels very slowly-about 10 to 15 seconds--which Sharp tells me is due to the type of processor used in the product. I have it hooked up to my comcast cable without the digital box so I am receiving only a few digital public tv and espn channels). It also appears to emit a low hum that is unavoidable (this is the second one I have used in two weeks with this noise-exchanged another one because of this.)



2. We decided to get a flat panel TV to save space with HD capabilities because the technology is going that way, but the bulk of our viewing is still just regular digital cable. Maybe I'm just not used to how flat panel TVs look, but the images look dull and blurry to me. People have strange coloration to their skin and movement is somewhat choppy.
   
   Consumer Reports rates this TV's "standard definition" television viewing as only fair. I wish we'd checked the review ahead of time. We're returning it and getting the Toshiba 26HL66.



3. I have my Xbox 360 connected to this Tv, and it's just awsome. My 360s component cables can do up to 1080i! Witch is good for the proce tag. My only complaint is the amount of inputs. Only one component, one hdmi, and two composite with s-video... A couple more component couldn't hert...



4. This TV is sleek, cute, excellent picture but not a TV to put in the family room. If you don't have a HD box, you'll suffer even more, i'm a person that does not care too much for the clear crisp picture but also I have sattelite which manages to give it a decent look. Overall this TV was purchased for my bedroom so it really does not matter to me if I can see a piece of sweat coming off of the forhead of an individual.
   
   The pros
   
   TV is lightweight
   Picture is decent but best to have sattelite as cable will not give you a proper picture
   Has coaxial port along with RCA and HDMI
   Small and compact
   Affordable
   User friendly
   Different viewing modes available
   
   Cons
   
   Channels takes too long to change if using cable
   Picture distortion can be annoying at times, widescreen is the only time you really get a good view of what is on the screen
   Sometimes if movement is rapid on the screen such as running or fighting scenes, the picture can become pixelling at some point and the picture becomes distorted
   
   
   Otherwise I am pleased with this TV as it was only purchased to put in my bedroom

5 comments about Polaroid 19" LCD Television - TLA-01911C.

1. I purchased this tv back in August from Wal Mart because I needed a little LCD for my bedroom. It's sole purpose is to watch the tube while in bed before I crash out for the evening. Since the time I have purchased it up until now, I have had absolutely no problems with the set. My 360 has gone through the trials the same amount of time as this tv and I had the honor of the "red ring of death" to be sent in to repair and this little tv is still trucking.
   
   I guess some people have bad luck with products as those who give this puppy a fairly to good rating lucked out.



2. Living three flights up tends to limit some of the purchases I make; the Polaroid 19" HD TV fit the bill perfectly. At around $200 from 'the Great Wall', it was an absolute bargain in my book, and light as a feather. Not a whit of trouble in set-up, especially with an HD cable system, and it connects so easily to my laptop for better definition when editing digital images.
   
   I'd tried 2 other LCD TVs from bigname manufacturers, and both had pixels out as soon as I got them home. Not the Polaroid. Hopefully, this one will last like that TV I bought way back when that hung in there for almost 20 years (and this one is SO much lighter than that behemoth!).
   
   Why can't gadgets last like they used to (I'd settle for lasting even half as long, really, but going out anywhere from a day to a month past warranty is simply too suspicious).
   
   I'm so impressed, I'm going back for another one.



3. The deciding factor in purchasing this unit, which should be more widely publicized: there is noticably less movement blur. The refresh time on this unit is 5 ms, not 8 ms, as in most other current units.
   The picture is startling sharp, as sharp as any I have seen. 900 x 1400 resolution, not the 768 x whatever on most other units. I live within a mile of the broadcast tower, and I am amazed at the quality of the picture--using fifteen year-old rabbit ears!
   Perhaps some oversaturation of the colors, but this should be easily corrected, as the television offers a choice of "viewing modes", as well as the ability to individually correct the colors.
   Obviously, after three days, I cannot report on the durability of this unit. So far, I am very pleased with the purchase.



4. I bought this TV with the built in DVD for my one year old son. The picture was decent in ths store and the price seemed right so we bought it right before Christmas. Within 3 months the DVD player stopped working. I contacted the company and was met with nothing but a series of transferred blame, followed by an offer for me to PAY to have it shipped to Califonia so they can take a look at it. No thanks! Avoid this product and this company at all costs. They do not stand behind their customers or their products. As a side note and only slightly less annoying, I also was going through 4 batteries a week to keep the remote working. What a waste of time and money.



5. I was a little bit skeptical about buying this TV over the Samsung equivalent which was only $40 more but after owning this product for seven months I am very pleased. I have had no problems with it, the picture is great, and sometimes it stays on for hours at a time with my 360 or PS3. Even if anything does happen to it, I bought the two year warranty that Wal-Mart offered in case anything does happen to it.
   
   Great product for the price, probably best for a bedroom or office as opposed to a living room however.

5 comments about Panasonic PT-50LCZ70 50-Inch 1080p LIFI HDTV.

1. 
   I purchased the Panny PT50-LC13, also a rear projection LCD HDTV, several years ago. Unfortunately, Panasonic will not stand behind its products. Do yourself a favor and google for past experiences of Panasonic rear-projection LCD TV owners before spending your hard-earned dineros.
   
   KW: PT50LC13, class action, lamp



2. I ordered this 50"monstrosity, and I misread the description for it thinking it was an HD LCD TV. It has a great picture but when you try to view the screen from the side, it darkens. I love Panasonic Products and for the price this item was, it was a bargain. The only thing wrong with it was where ever it was stored, something got inside the TV and onto the screen because while viewing movies, Cable, there were these black streaks on the inside that can't be repaired unless the whole screen is replaced. Anyway, the best bet for anyone who is into Hi-Definition should buy a HD LCD TV (Liquid Crystal Display). The reasoning behind that is the picture is perfect, even from the side, its still perfect. The next two HD TV's I'll be purchasing will be a 32" Panasonic HD LCD and a 42" Toshiba HD LCD which that will be the last pieces of equipment for my home theatre.



3. All-in-All it is a great TV, however, when I bought the TV I was mislead. I found the TV after following the "narrow your search tabs". The TV was found in flat-panel,Plasma. Because I narrowed my search to only what I wanted I didn't think that I would have to double check and make sure. I will remember that for next time. Nice TV but, would be better if it was what I was looking for.



4. My family has not owned any HDTVs until recently, and that not until I moved out to college, so I do not have much experience with HDTVs. That said, I have had very few problems with this TV. The only two things that I had issues with were the fact that the first TV shipped had a severely distorted screen, which I believe came from damage while shipping, but the Amazon return policy fixed that. The only other issue was that my XBox 360 could not display 1080p with the regular component cables, but a five dollar HDMI cable fixed that. Besides that there's nothing wrong to comment on. I also have to disagree with another review here that recommended LCDs because of the viewing angle darkening, as I noticed that problem significantly with my old 13" LCD but far less with this TV. That said, other LCD screens I have do not darken, but overall it isn't a significant problem for the TV anyway.
   
   And getting this for under $1000 was astounding for a 1080p TV this large. It put it into my price range, albeit at the upper end, even as college student. A Radio Shack employee described the price as "win".
   
   I won't comment on the quality of the picture because I have so little experience with that, but I have noticed that my sniping got significantly better in Halo 3 with this TV. And the speakers are as much as I could want, though I suspect most people would have a sound system for this.



5. The product was fine although in making arrangements for delivery was difficult and prolonged affair. Flexibility from BeachAudio and their delivery vendor would have been appreciated.

5 comments about Westinghouse LTV37W2 37-Inch LCD HDTV.

1. Terrible sound. Impossible to calibrate. Yellow lines on some HD channels. No pnp. Stay away from this one even if they give it away.



2. One month after the one year warranty ran out, so did my color tuner. I was Westing HOSED



3. While the picture and features of this TV are great for the price, you will be very unhappy should you have any problem with it. Mine keeps switching inputs for no apparent reason and going blank. Also the sound does not work with the HDMI input. Westinghouse service admits these are problems when I call but the only solution is to ship them the TV in California because they have no parts for it already. Neither do they have any local service center where it could be returned. The freight to ship it to California is $245.00. Great warranty, isn't it? My advice is to pay more upfront and get a brand that has manufacturer's support.



4. I've had this TV for a little over a year now, so I've had plenty of time to formulate an opinion.
   
   -Pros-
   *Great Picture in any mode. I have a PS3 and watch Blu-Ray movies and they look incredible!
   *2 HDMI inputs
   *Big bang for your buck.
   *Its been over a year and haven't had any technical issues.
   
   -Cons-
   *Unimpressive sound quality. It isn't bad until you start turning it up pretty loud. I like movies rather loud, so thats where I had my issues with the sound.
   *Doesn't save your audio settings when you change your audio output from internal to external, so every time you turn your tv on and want to use your home theatre for cable/sattelite sound you have to reselect that option on the menu.
   *If you do use the audio output to a receiver you have to put the TV near 100% to get a decent output to your stereo receiver.
   
   -Summary-
   A very good picture with over a year of trouble free viewing. The cons are really minimal when you factor in everything you get for the price. I would highly recommend this TV to everyone.



5. Waited a year to see if Westinghouse would fix the HD Tuner that randomly locks up when changing channels or powering on.
   
   They won't admit there is a problem with this model only their 47".
   
   I use OTA (rabbit ears) to get my HD channels and when it is getting the HD signal the TV will occasionaly (about 4 times a week) lock up. Lock up completly the only way to unlock it is to pull the power cord from the wall.

1. We purchased eight of these for our company to use as large informational displays. They seem to work alright, and have all the inputs that we need. In our case it's actually a benefit that they don't come with tuners, that way we're not paying for something we're probably not allowed to use here. Seems to do a good job of up-sampling, but not all resolutions (especially those larger than 1366x768) seem to be able to be displayed.
   Only reason it's not five stars is that it would be nice if the unit would turn on automatically when it receives VGA input.

5 comments about Sharp Aquos LC42D62U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

1. We were planning to buy an HDTV for sometime now. My wife did a whole lot of research and we zeroed in on Sharp. Good brand, great looking TV and not as pricey as a Sony...
   We have an apartment and the initial few movies took us time to get used to...then we started loving it.
   A friend of ours came over and recommended that we need to get a HDMI cable. we got the cable and man what a difference!!!
   The picture quality on DVD's is just awesome...I tell you this is a great TV and we love it...we bought it directly at TigerDirect..great site...good service and no complaints...
   
   PS: Dont waste too much time in research....Sony, Sharp and Samsung should be your final three



2. Since we bought this tv, we have had nothing but problems with it and with Sharp. During the first month, we returned it to the store due to a banding issue. During the second month, we called the company to use the warranty to return it again due to the same banding issue. They sent us a new tv which came with yet another banding issue and dark vertical lines that looked like a burn in. We called the company to use the warranty again and they decided to send us the new model(64U), which we just received. This is our 4th tv which is not a new one, but a refurbished one, that came without the correct mounting screws and without a power cord. The only thing Sharp said they could do for us was send us the cord & screws, so in the meantime we are left without a tv.



3. I was delighted when I received my new 42" Aquos. Everything I expected and more. Unfortunately after about a week it started to experience the banding that I have read about in other reviews. I called sharp, they asked me to send about 5 or 6 digital pictures of the line and give them a couple of day to review them. Three days later I called them back and spoke with a representative who informed me tje TV was going to be exchanged and upgrade it to the LC-42D64U from the LC-42D62U that I had ordered. Because of the holiday season the shipping took a little longer than I would have liked but received my new TV in about two weeks. I was very impressed that they were so helpful and that my TV was replaced. I would not hesitate buying anything else from them.



4. Keep in mind this tv is a replacement for a 13 year old 20" panasonic tv/vcr. This Aquos was a replacement for the first one I ordered. I ordered a 32" one but it arrived with a cracked screen (thank you UPS!). I contacted techforless and they said they didnt have the 32" model in stock anymore, so they cut me a deal with this one, which is from the same series. It took over a week to receive the new tv, so if you're in a hurry keep that in mind when getting an order through eagle service. I ended up paying about $900 for it. I have this tv in my bedroom, so it's a little too big. set up was very easy and the picture quality is superb. After hooking up my xbox 360, I couldnt get any sound to come out. This was fixed by purchasing an HDMI cable. Gaming is awesome on this set along with watching dvds. I dont have a Bluray player yet, so I cant comment on how good that will look.



5. If you have tons of money to spend, of course get the best in the market - Sony Bravia series. If not, this TV costs a lot less, but has almost as good image quality as those.
   I got a 32" Aquos first, then I fell in love with the TV. I realized it was too small. Instead of returning it, I bought another one - this one. It was an excellent decision. Now it sits elegantly in my living room and provides us entertainment every night. I use it to watch HD channels (free ones...if you have an antenna, you can receive many HD channels) and I use it to watch foreign TV shows (I have a slingbox hooked up to the TV in another country). Of course, you need to connect a pc to the TV......
   Overall, I love the TV and my family LOVE it too!

1. I bought this at an electronics store. In a line up of about a dozen 50"+ LCD and Plasma tv's of varying prices, I picked this one out immediately as having the nicest, sharpest picture. I went into the store "just looking" and came out with this TV, spending $2500.00 (about $1000 more than I intended.) Looks great in my room, I particularly like the sleek design (not much border on it). The few HDTV stations I get look great, DVD's look good (not great like they would on Blueray, but I will wait a bit for Blueray player prices to come down.) All in all, very satisfied with this nice looking (but pricey) TV.



2. I was about to buy this TV on Amazon but was surprised to find this at a better price at the traditional local retailer Video Only. There were very few reviews of this TV on [...] which helped cement my decision. I am by no means a pro at evaluating but this is my third LCD TV purchase of which have included a Sharp 37", Sony 46" and now this Toshiba. I used to also own a Toshiba rear-projection HD TV so am familiar with Toshiba televisions. While I have only had it for a day all in this is a great TV, particularly given how thin the bezel is. This TV is only 47 3/4" wide which is about as wide as my old 46" Sony but now includes 52" of screen real estate. My living room had an area that was 48" so only had 2 choices that I new of including a Mitsubishi and this Toshiba. I was not that impressed with the Mitsubishi display and found it to be over-priced compared to the Toshiba.
   
   When I opened up the box I was immediately amazed at how sleek and modern the screen looked. It looked great just sitting there in my living room. When I turned it on I was shocked by how much cleaner it looked than my old Sony particularly with HD inputs. Blu-ray alone was better than being in a movie theater particularly with Pirates of the Caribbean. Like any high def TV regular TV is disappointing compared to HD signals but it looks fine from my standpoint. The other big selling point on this TV is the 120hz processor which makes sports and action movies have less blur. I will update my review when I have more viewing time with it.
