Returned This TVJuly 12, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I do not know how I did it but this TV did not have the one feature I needed on it. (I will not debate where that issue lies) Although it was stated at the time of order the TV was in stock and would ship in 2-3 days it did not ship for 9 days after the order. The cross country shipping took longer than expected. The TV arrived with a plastic shrink wrap over the manufacturers standard packing like you would get if you bought it at a retail store. That does not seem to be a safe way to ship an LCD via UPS ground but it appears to have made the voyage in proper working order. The LCD TV had been opened and the box had some sort of stickers or labels removed after being cut off the cardboard. My return was processed after being threatened with a 20% restocking fee and told if it was not in "as new" condition the refund was not going to be given. Nowhere was that mentioned when I checked the "stores" policy. The only information given about a restocking fee was if an item was returned with out an RMA which I was given. When all was done the refund was given and no restocking fee was applied. This is the last time I will order something such as a LCD TV online. I would rather pay $50 more with a local big box retailer and take it home the same day, be able to return it without shelling out big $$ shipping to return.
Sharp Aquos 26"May 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Received TV quickly. Plugged TV in and setup was easy. After 5 days we had to unplug the TV and when we plugged the TV back up the TV no longer worked. There was no picture and no sound. Strangest thing I've ever seen. Seemed unbelievable.
Brought the TV in for service and the whole board controlling video and audio sound was burnt out and had to be replaced.
After only having the TV for 5 days I thought Sharp should have taken the TV back.
Sound is satisfactory. Remote control is easy to use. Non HD channel's clarity is decent but can't be stretched to fit so there is a black border around the picture. But that does not diminish your picture watching.
Basically, we are happy with the set.
I'd recommend the TV to a friend.

Pricey for what you get, poor picture qualityMay 6, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Very disappointed in the picture quality, even after using an HDMI cable. Colors very bland and washed out, picture not very clear. Absolutely nothing outstanding about this expensive TV. Even less than mediocre. Small size screens are usually a lot clearer, but not this one. Was looking to buy a 46" & 52" for my other rooms, went with Samsung for both. Wow, what a difference!
The Best for a small TV!April 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wanted to buy a small tv for the bedroom. 26 inches screen is just the right size for a small room. I picked Sharp and can't stop watching it even having much bigger panasonic in the living room. The quality picture is perfect, easy to use all the options in the menu.
