Strengths: HD picture - elegant design - lightweight LCD panel
Weaknesses: SD picture is disappointing
Summary: I bought this LCD TV for the kitchen where it is attached to a ceiling arm/mount. With the two attached speakers removed, this panel presents a huge picture in a small "footprint".
Sources are Dishnetwork HD Sat Box and upconverting DVD player at 1080i. I get some nice off-air HD channels too, but the programming is too dismal for me to care. I hope the Wimbledon and French Open finals will be broadcast in HD.
One problem - I choose this model because all the input/control functions are contained in a seperate box. This was important because I didn't want several bundles of cables going to the display, not to mention the thickness and weight of the LCD panel itself is lowered because a lot of electronics is contained inthe AVC box. However the sharp system cable which links the "AVC" box and the lcd panel is only 9 ft long. Sharp offers a 33ft cable as the only option at around $750.
This is crazy, and I am looking for alternatives. One possibility is custom cables, another is that the japanese sharp site has a 22ft cable for $200 but I am not sure these will work in a US market unit.

Also I bought from dbuys.com - great site. The TV arrived in four days even though I only had ground shipping (10-14 days)
