Sharp LC-37D5U Customer Review(s):
Summary: Electronics junkie
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Comment: I purchased this unit from One Call. The service was fast and the package was in perfect shape. FedEx 3 day. The picture is great and the tv a snap to set up, but... The documentation is pointed to cable tv and the included TV Guide. Neither of which I have, or want. It would be impossible for a novice to set this unit up off cable without professional help. Sharp really dropped the ball there.

Comment: Given that I had excellent experience with the smaller Sharp LCD's I thought that this larger model would perform as well, boy was I really, really wrong!
I connected up my satellite and cable connections and found that the only acceptable results came from the 8 HD channels on cable. This despite signal strength of 86 plus for all channels. Satellite reception is so bad, producing smeared resolutions on all channels, including HD, to the point that it is really not watchable. My 10 year old Pioneer plasma on the other hand still produces a razor sharp picture on all channels of satellite and average results from cable.
The on screen TV Guide is a disaster, far too much useless information, very poor navigation, difficult if not impossible to customize and program.
The Cable Card function is a great idea. Slightly larger than a regular credit card it simply slips into a slot but then the problems start as the instruction manual and on screen menu is
unclear and differ on how to correctly program the analog and digital channels.
If you are an average consumer with the expectation of getting an excellent, or at least above, performance from this expensive TV, and you have an average knowledge of setting up and programming an electronic device, my firm recommendation would be, think again.

Comment: Bad shipping agent. Ordered several items at the time this TV was purchased. This being the most expensive happened to be the only item that mysteriouly disappered. The TV was lost in transit for a week. When it was finally found the shipper -Eagle - told us that it would be delivered the very next day. After a another few days of listening - and waiting - to this story the shipper told us the TV was still on their dock. We refused delivery. We'll find it elsewhere. Good luck Amazon.
