1. Excellent product, highly recommended, very crisp and high contrast image!
   Very pleased with the delivery as well, the box was in excellent condition.



2. This set has a lot going for it. Great picture and nice ergonomics with decent speakers. But one serious flaw remains. BANDING! This is my third set from Sharp after the last two were replaced. Each set had a different degree of banding than the rest.
   
   Banding is particularly noticeable in TV content that has a lot of camera movement against a neutral background (shows like ER, Boston Legal, CSI all accentuate this defect considerably). You'll typically see shaded bars running horizontally across the screen. Some sets even experience vertical banding as well.
   
   I had a different model Sharp before and it was flawless. These issues began plaguing Sharp models after they switched their manufacturing plant to a new facility. I'm not too sure if Sharp has entirely remedied this problem on newer sets with higher serial numbers, but based on the newsgroups I've visited, even new sets have this phenomena.
   
   I am going to opt for a refund direct from Sharp since it appears they are honoring such requests from buyers that demand it. For me, the issue of banding was too distracting and destroyed the experience of enjoying this set. The picture is otherwise amazing. I'm going to seriously consider the Sony XBR sets. I've been hearing that they do not have the banding issues as these Sharp sets do and the specs either meet or exceed these Sharp models.
   
   If you are going to consider this set, I strongly urge you to purchase it locally with a good return policy in case yours is unacceptable as well.



3. awesome TV, amazing picture, but seems Sharp did not get the good CPU for this TV's menus, or did not write the software correctly, because the menus kinda hang, switchin input is a big pain.
   If you need to switch from Input 1 to Input 5, and there is no signal on Inputs 2,3,4, it would temporarily freeze on either Input 2,3,4 or more than one when you are making the switch.



4. Like a lot of people, I was scared to order such a big expensive item online. Although I'm sure there are horror stories, mine was a great success.
   
   The TV arrived quickly, undamaged, and in perfect condition. From what it looks like it came direct from the manufacturer.
   
   The TV's Auto Contrast feature was a bit annoying to me (it's on by default), but it can be turned off. So if you're wondering why your colors keeps changing, it's the Auto Contrast feature.
   
   Be aware that you might want to read the online sellers return policy. I didn't need to return the item, but I saw that I couldn't even if I'd wanted to. You have to go through the manufacturer warranty to have it repaired. If these types of limitations concern you, you may want to think about going through a retail store (and paying about twice as much).



5. I waited to write this review. It has been 9 months and THIS TV ROCKS. That sounds simplistic, but I don't know how else to convey how happy we are. The price on Amazon was amazing. It was our first purchase on Amazon so I was skeptical (of the price) but everything was great. The studios hate us because we haven't been to the movies since. Why bother? 52" and surround sound in your own home? LOVE FOOTBALL SEASON!

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. I'm not sure how the quality is on this TV, but if you would like your TV in a resonable amount of time I would not buy it from Amazon. I ordered my TV on June 14th,it is now June 26th and I have still have not received it. I did track my item on CEVA and it has been sitting in a warehouse an hour from my house since June 21st. I would highly reccommend buying from a different company.



2. I ordered this TV late night July 1. I got it around 11:00 this morning through CEVA. The delivery service doesn't affect my opinion of the TV, but CEVA was excellent.
   
   I immediately hooked up my PS3 and HDMI cable (Cables to go 3 meter 10.2gbps, bought from amazon) and after fixing the sound and video output settings (I had it hooked up via DVI and RCA cabling, and my old TV only accepted up to 1080i) it worked beautifully. Even without being hooked up to my surround sound system, the sound quality is good. It won't blow you away, but given the form factor of the TV it's still better than I had expected and good enough that I'm not desperate to hook up better speakers.
   
   I popped in Blade Runner on Blu Ray and noticed the picture was a bit fuzzy. I then checked and found that the PS3 was outputting 1080i as that was the best my old TV could display. A quick change to 1080p and away I went and was absolutely amazed by the picture. I didn't see any judder, and the colors were magnificent. Black levels seem good, but I have it in a room with windows so I can't make it completely dark to really get a good feel for it yet. The glossy screen looks nice when it's off, but is a little noticeable when you've got a direct light source on it.
   
   I bought mine as a refurb from Warehouse Deals by Amazon, which ran me less than 1100. It came in the original box, has no dead pixels, and works perfectly. There was some tape adhesive on the bottom over maybe two square inches, but that will come off easily enough once I find where I put the cleaner. This was my first time buying a refurb product from anyone apart from the manufacturer, and it's been great. Very worth saving $400.
   
   Amazing TV. I'd say it's definitely worth the $1500 Amazon has it for, but paying less is always nice too.



3. Nice TV, 100% better than my 35" analog, but not as good as my 50" and 42" Panasonic Plasma TV's, bought this TV mainly to hook up to PS3



4. I bought this TV about a month ago. The blu-ray movies looks awesome on this TV. The standard definition TV is so so, but I guess you purchase this TV mainly for blu-ray and high definition sports.
   
   Overall a good TV but I think the newer series (650) may be a bit better in terms of specs. But they are still $1500 or more so since I only paid $1234 for this TV, it was well worth it.



5. Picture quality is oustanding
   
   Blu-Ray looks amazing
   
   Games look amazing
   
   120hz looks amazing
   
   althought there is slight blurring sometimes during cable televisiona nd sometimes in movies, its not enough to make a difference in my opinion of this tv. Its excellent.
   
   Got this tv at almost 50% retail price so I cant complain.
   If youre searching for a tv, then go no further than this.
   If your product is shipped using CEVA then make sure you call them to check on your tv. They are really nice guys and I found a depot near my home and went and picked the tv up 5 days early. They even let me pull my car in the warehouse and helped me load it up. Their service is highly recommendable.

1. Magnavox 42MF521D/37
   
   We have had this TV for 10 months. It was easy to set up and it does everything as it says in the description.
   
   The Instruction Manual is easy to follow. It was easy to set up and the TV does everything as it says in the description.
   
   Definately a good buy .. and a reasonable price too.



2. I purchased this product January 2007, and am still very pleased with the picture quality and performance of this TV. Excellent buy in my opinion.
   Great number of inputs (could use one more HDMI though)!

1 comments about Hitachi P42A202 42-Inch 1080I Plasma HDTV.

1. This is my first HDTV and I am very pleased with it. The picture quality is outstanding. Here are some of my comments, in no particular order....
   
   First, as I write this (9/3/2008) Amazon's description of the item is incorrect. They list it as a 720p receiver. It is actually 1080i. Verified at Hitachi's web site, where you can download a PDF specification sheet, also the owner's manual states it is 1080i.
   
   The owner's manual leaves a lot to be desired. Descriptions of some of the features ("E-Save" for example) are inadequately covered, or not at all.
   
   There is only one S-Video input, and that is on the side of the set, not the back.
   
   The component video inputs on the back will also accept composite video... a GOOD thing!
   
   You can rename each input source from predefined choices, like PVR, DVD, etc. It would be nice to be able to create your own names (like "TiVo" for example).
   
   Setup was very easy. I connected the set to cable, and the built-in tuner found all the analog and digital channels available, and quite a few that had no programming on them (requiring a few minutes of editing of the channel list). Nitpick: you cannot add channels to the channel list manually. You must let the set scan for channels, then mark the ones you want to skip over.
   
   The set's tuner is NOT CableCARD equipped.
   
   Overall, I would recommend this set highly. It has a lot of inputs, including 3 HDMI inputs, a great tuner, lots of features and amazing picture quality.

1 comments about JVC LT47P789 47-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with iPod TeleDock.

1. I purchased the LT47P789 a couple days ago. I upgraded from the VP322- 32" plasma.
   I thought the plasma had a good HD picture until I put them side by side. There really is a big difference in richness and quality between the 2 pictures. The plasma seems to have a dull film over the picture with colors not as true or vivid including blacks. There is also a difference in detail such as face imperfections that are clearly picked up on the 1080 versus the 720 plasma.
   For comparison I used a Gefen tv splitter 1:4 that takes the HDMI cable from my Dish Network receiver and splits it to 4-HDMI displays. The Gefen splitters are a little pricey but they also split the audio correctly including lip sync pass through.
   2 x 10 watt Speakers provide decent sound and are not tinny like on the plasma. A would recommend a surround sound system for true theater feel however.
   I see little to no motion blur while watching sports in HD. Its comparable with the plasma. The tv also has the ipod docking station that I have yet to try.
   
   The cons I see with the LT47P789 is it does a poor job with SD 480i signals. The plasma also did a poor job. The 480p progressive scan dvd player looks very good however.
   Hopefully we will have all HD channels in the near future.
   
   
   Just a note the factory settings were actually not that good for my taste when I got the tv.
   After doing some adjusting I ended up with: video status-dynamic, tint-45, color-68, picture-54, bright- 52, detail-25, back light-100, color temp-cool.
