Product Description
Sharp's LC-37G4U is a state-of-the-art 37" widescreen1 LC-TV that can easily enhance the decor of any family room, living room or den. With a 16: 9 aspect ratio, HDTV-compatible resolution of 1366 x 768 and breathtaking color purity, it is a next-generation TV to carry you into the high-definition future. The LC-37G4U utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel, which provides levels of high brightness (450 cd/m2), an 800: 1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles (170? x 170?). Additionally, the LC-37G4U is an HDTV Monitor, which means it is compatible with 720p signals from HDTV sources (separate DTV decoder required).The LC-37G4U features an elegant new design with detachable high-aperture aluminum speakers to ensure the sound is as outstanding as the picture. In addition, the included table stand can be easily removed for wall mounting applications.Other features that distinguish the LC-37G4U include: a separate AVC System (TU-GA1U-S) which conveniently houses all terminal connections, including HDMI, DVI-I and 2 HD component video inputs; a PC Card slot which allows you to record and view still images and video on a PC Card; and Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit, which enables fast response time of less than 16ms.
Amazon.com Product Description
Part of Sharp's stylish AQUOS line designed at the company's state-of-the-art Kameyama factory, Sharp's 37-inch HDTV- and PC-compatible LC-37G4U Advanced Super View LCD television is versatile enough to handle wall or table placement, computing or home theater uses.  | | Sharp's flat-panels are a fraction of the width of traditional CRT TVs. | The 1,366 x 768-resolution LC-37G4U offers a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio to match your favorite movies, and high-definition video resolution up to 720p (progressive-scan) when connected to a DTV set-top box/receiver (not included). The set includes 2 detachable, high-aperture aluminum speakers powered by 10 watts per channel. At less than 3 inches deep without its detachable speakers and a mere 3.5 inches with speakers affixed, the set is as unobtrusive as a big-screen TV can get. A handy PC Card slot lets you record still images and video on a PC Card and view them on the TV, and Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit ensures a lightning-quick response time of less than 16 ms for smooth-as-silk video and gaming graphics. LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).  | | Sharp's ASV panel offers exceptionally wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles, so you can watch TV from anywhere in the room. | The LC-37G4U's Advanced Super View/black TFT (thin-film-transistor) screen offers exceptionally wide (170- by 170-degree) viewing angles and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 800:1 for super-black blacks. Its high brightness (450 cd/m2) ensures wide dynamic range for vivid colors, great depth, and realism. You can place it anywhere--near windows, doors, or other light sources--and its picture will remain vivid. And, with its 60,000-hour lamp life, the backlight life is long enough to give you viewing pleasure for many years. A built-in 181-channel, drift-free PLL synthesized tuner lets you plug your TV antenna or cable box right into the LC-37G4U and start watching.  | | AQUOS TVs strive for a high level of energy efficiency. | Being too thin to house its many connections, the LC-37G4U comes with a stand-alone AVC System: a set-top box that houses all terminals, minimizes clutter, and preserves the panel's austere look. Connections consist of 2 high-definition component-video inputs, 1 DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface-Integrated) input, 1 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) input, 4 composite-video inputs, and 3 S-video inputs. An audio/video output (composite- and S-video with stereo analog audio) facilitates hookup with a surround receiver, DVR, VCR, or other destination. DVI-I is a direct-digital DVI terminal capable of transmitting both analog and digital video data. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV or monitor. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements. What's in the Box
LCD TV, detachable speakers, AVC system (TU-GA1U-S set-top box with all terminals), table stand, and a user's manual.

Summary: Poor quality, poor service 2006-09-30
Comment: I bought a sharp lcd tv from j& r in new york last Jan, after a year and half, when powering on the tv, sometimes works, sometimes not. after unplug in, wait for a while and plug back, worked for a couple months. Send it to service center to checkup, was told that the lcd control board needs to be replaced. when request to get back the replaced lcd control board, was told that sharp does not give back the replaced board, it has to be shipped back, otherwise, you have to pay additional fee to get back the replaced board.. it's rather strange to hear such a lousy policy from any vendor..
But, if you do want to get a sharp, better get a long long warranty..

Summary: excellent Flat-Panel LCD 2005-01-27
Comment: I purchased my system a few months ago and I am very pleased with it. I love how there is a separate unit to house all the cables. I think it is a lot smarter to buy this model as opposed to the one with the HDTV tuner built in. This model is a lot cheaper and Comcast supplied me with a digital cable box with an HDTV tuner built in. I refuse to watch sports unless it is via HDTV. The clarity of this TV is very clean and crisp. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Pretty good TV. 2005-01-12
Comment: I ordered this TV from amazon, and got delivered promptly as per the delivery estimate provided. Entire process is very pleasent and smooth.
Setup is easy, but my DVD player was not able to send digital signals, so I bought LG Electronics HD Receiver/Hi-Format DVD Player (LST3510A), which delivered 720p signal from my DVD, resulted in really sharp picture. I just connected with component video output.
Overall I'm pleased with my purchase.

Summary: Very Happy with the Sharp Aquos 32G4U 2005-01-02
Comment: We've had the Aquos TV for a few weeks at this date and are very happy with the picture quality for standard DirecTV, DVD, and PC viewing. We have not upgraded to an HD feed yet, but we were honestly surprised by the improved picture of standard DirecTV versus our previous television (standard CRT).
Pluses:
1) We have found the A/V box design to be great for hiding all the input cables.
2) Sharp offers a couple of different stretch modes to choose from.
3) There are 6 input sources and ability to assign custom names to each.
4) The unit remembers the volume, stretch, and picture settings for each input source. Sounds like a small thing but it is really appreciated by us.
5) The Sharp menus and remote are nicely designed.
6) Speakers sound good for listening to regular content.
7) TV outputs for video capture.
8) Aesthetically pleasing.
9) Vivid pictures!
10) The stand allows the screen to swivel and pivot for optimum positioning. The degrees of rotational are small but effective.
11) Works very well for PC viewing.
12) Placement of the control buttons on top of the panel work nice for us.
Minuses:
1) Only one S-Video input and it is on the front of the A/V box. Won't be an issue after we upgrade our DirecTV receiver but it seems like an oversight not to include one s-Video input on the back of the A/V box.
2) 1080p support is questionable. This may be an issue in the future as true 1080 becomes widely available. Perhaps the A/V box can be upgraded.
3) Expensive. We originally wanted a 37" TV but could not justify the price. However, we were so pleased with all the features mentioned above that we went with the smaller 32" versus other less expensive products.
4) We are not using all input sources, it would be nice if we could disable the unused inputs so they would not appear in the menu.
5) Faint fan noise in the A/V box (this is probably a nit, it's only detectable if TV is muted).
Thanks to all the previous reviewers on this product and other products. The customer feedback really helped us make and informed decision. It can get confusing with all the different display technologies available. Also, some products have known defects that you will only learn about from internet research.
