What To Get?
I wanted a flat screen HDTV to fit an armoire. The choice was either a top-of-the-line 32 inch or a bigger 37 inch. I chose size over quality. Since it would be my first HDTV, it would be an upgrade either way.
Setup.
Setup of the Sharp AQUOS LC37D44U was easy.
Picture Quality.
High-definition is really impressive. It looks crisp and the colors are vibrant and natural, whether HD broadcasts or blu-ray. I mostly watch 1080i over 720p and it looks great. Personally, it looks a lot better than the 720p.
Concerns.
There’s no headphone jack. For those using a receiver, it won’t be an issue for you.
Changing channels is a little slow, but tolerable.
I believe the 6ms refresh rate causes the picture to blur. But, it happens very rarely.
The instructions are just one big sheet of paper and printed on both sides. It just folds and folds and folds. A booklet would have been better.
For those with several audio and video components, there are not enough input/output ports. You could probably get everything you want connected, with a little ingenuity.
Sound even at the highest level is about the same as my Sharp 27 inch LCD at 25. My wife complains about the sound, even at its highest setting. After getting a receiver, it sounds great now.
Is It Worth It?
I believe this Sharp AQUOS LC37D44U 37 inch LCD TV to be a great flat screen and an outstanding value. After 6 months, it was such a satisfying experience, I got another for my bother in law.
