Sharp AQUOS LC46LE700UN 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

Comment: I love this television. Bought it about nine months ago, and couldn't be happier. I too compared a lot of sets, read all the reviews, and came to the conclusion that this was a terrific deal. I love, love, love the picture quality. It's great for HD cable, and superb for Blu Ray movies. I'm afraid if I hooked a game machine to it I'd become totally addicted.

Can't comment on the sound quality. It's just fine for what I use it for, and if I want higher sound quality one day, I'll simply buy a sound system to go with it.

Bought it through Amazon. No hassles - delivered promptly, and I had no trouble setting it up.

Comment: I purchased this television about a week ago and so far it has worked flawlessly. I was undecided on another LCD from Sammy or try an LED. Amazon made the decision for me when this Sharp model was suddenly lowered another 270 bucks in my shopping cart. The picture is very clear and consistent. There is no humming as reported by others. The speakers are fine but I do have the sound connected to a 5.1 system. It has an interesting energy saving switch on the remote which allows you to increase/decrease the brightness level on the LED's to conserve energy. I tend to like the "standard" setting the best. The Samsung does have some "finer" features such as a dust cloth, an LED light on the t.v. to let you know you have power to the unit when plugged in, and the ability for the T.V. to swivel on the base. Nonetheless, this one is a keeper.

Comment: Picture is fantastic. Sound from the unit is not impressive, but I hooked up a 35W sound bar & now it sounds great. The menu is laid out logically - easy to use. The TV defaults to using a feature which changes the the backlight of the TV (auto dims the TV) based on the rooms ambient light. It kept switching levels, so I just disabled this feature. If you're in a basement or another room which has a constant light level, it may be a nice feature, but I thought it was more annoying than useful. Anyways, I was really just after a great picture and this Sharp delivered.

Comment: Incredible picture! Light weight due to LED backlighting. One of the few full-array units still on the market! Most are now edge-lit, which in effect is light Christmas lights around a window--bright edges but dark center! Does not make sense and only being done to satisfy consumer demand for sexy-thin TV's.

The Picture is near perfect. Solidly built unit, however, Sharp could have done better with the stand. Overall, photo's of this unit do not do it
justice, it looks gorgeous! Piano black finish will scratch, so use a swiffer duster on it! The remote, uninspiring, works well. Lots of HDMI ports and on-screen menus are clear and easy to use. Lots of adjustments can be made with picture quality.

Sound is from ten watt speakers. Obviously designed to hook-up to home theater sound system. Easy PC HDMI hookup is impressive. The AquosNet ethernet works well but there is really no content to even bother with. At least you can can live customer support from it. Sharp needs to add some more content soon! But don't buy a TV for internet content since you can get Netflix, etc from virtually any BluRay Player on the market now! A TV should just deliver on one thing---Picture Quality! This Aquos does!!!

The full array constant backlighting offers incredible contrast. Blacks are very dark! Color output on factory settings is very natural. Initially, it
will seem darker than normal but if you like a super-bright picture its easy to adjust, but you'll sacrifice contrast quality. I have left the factory settings and the optical ambient light-sensor works well but can be adjusted or shut-off.

I own two versions of this model, thats how impressed I am with the quality of this unit. Pro reviews of this set were mediocre but customer reviews everywhere are positive. A very under-rated unit and I just wanted to add my 2-cents! You can get a great deal on this unit since it really doesn't compete with the sexy slim edge-lit units. Consider quality over slimness.

I give this TV a solid four stars...it would have had five if the AquosNet service were more than a gimmick and the stand and remote were sleeker. Overall, a beautiful set I expect to enjoy for years to come. Its thinner and sexier than the pictures! Trust me! Don't we wish we could say that about ourselves?! :) This is a great TV!

Comment: I have this LED flat screen for a month now and i still love. Nothing wrong with this flat screen, I don't hear any buzzing sound at all, great contrast and not even a single dead pixel. If you can buy a home theater 5.1 system such as samsung under $300 from Sam's club it will make your flat screen so much "a live" as if you were in a movie theater.
