Nice Picture, easy setup, needs strong signal

I also had the problem with the channel popping up in the right top corner of the screen every 30 seconds or so. I called Sharp and they answered their help line very fast, they were obviously based in the US for support, and solved the problem by having me change to an RCA input from the DirecTV box rather then a cheap cable (yes, I'm just using standard def on this TV for now). But it improved the picture and got rid of the pop-up. Still, very annoying. I was very happy with their support.

As for the rest, very nice picture, good sound right from the built-in speakers, easy set-up. I would recommend as a second TV, or your first upgrade to a HDTV as it handles Standard Definition signal very well. Got it for less then $600.00, so much better then buying an off-brand with no support.

good product ruined by minor flaw

I am using this tv with analog cable. The box with the channel number in it keeps popping up all the time (every 30s-1min) on some channels. This is very annoying. Changing the channel takes a few seconds making channel surfing slow. Other than that it is a great product. With digital cable you should not be affected by the channel box problem. Unfortunately I do not have this option.

I contacted customer support about the channel number popping up and this was their reply:

"The display will populate on screen any time there is a change to the incoming signal (mono to stereo audio, weak/fluctuating signal strength). Unfortunately there is no way to deactivate the on screen display. If you are able, try using an alternate connection (composite video and analog audio; yellow, red and white cables) from your source device (cable/sat box, if using) to the unit. This will prevent this issue from occurring by providing a more consistent signal. Let me know if you have any other questions  more

A great product at a great price

This DTV was purchased for my mother who had been wanting a more modern replacement to her dying 15-year-old set. Although many products are available to choose from, we chose this model because of the Sharp name and our previous good experience with Sharp Electronics and the quality behind the name as well as for its price. Since money was tight, we needed the most bang for the buck and this was our choice. The television arrived very quickly after shipping, was packed well and setup was so easy that we had it in place in just a couple of minutes. Ease of operation couldn't be any simpler. My mother, being elderly, needs simplicity when it comes to technology and this can't be beat. The quality is certainly there and we're all very pleased with the purchase.

Sharp LC32SB24U 32" 720p LCD HDTV

Picture quality is excellent - you can see individual strands of hair in head shots. Setup was a breeze. This is a good size choice if you currently have a standard 25" set. It's the same height but you get the extra width. I had some video synchronization trouble when switching channels from my cable company's pseudo digital to true digital stations. I found that you can re-sync the picture by pressing the TV remote freeze button twice, once to freeze and another time to unfreeze. I had a standard Sharp TV before and was very satisfied, and I can say the same again with my new Sharp LCD HDTV.

Great TV!!!

I initially considered the Samsung 330 or Sony L4000,
but I saw this when I actually went to the store. The
Samsung lacked S-video input, and the Sony was a little
darker compared to the other two. The Sharp was also
more compact around the screen with the frames being
the skinniest of the three. This was also the cheapest,
and it had S-video.

I am extremely happy that I went with this TV. My BF
has a Samsung 40 inch i the living room, but we hardly
notice the difference in quality when we switch rooms.
The TV is very bright and can be used in room with lots
of sunlight. I recommend this to anybody shopping for a
32 inch!
