 Terrible Warranty Specifications Oct 26, 2009
STAY AWAY. I bought this unit from Costco. In my day I have owned Sony, Mitsubishi, Samsung and Toshiba televisions. This is my first (and last) Sharp television. Right out of the box the unit had a burned out pixel. After contacting Sharp they required a myriad of pictures to prove it (5-6 pictures, I am surprised that 1-2 pictures isn't enough). They also said that they would get back in touch with me in 36-48 hours; it took them a week after multiple emails. They emailed me back saying how this was "within our specifications". How does a burned out pixel qualify as within someones specifications on a high definition TV? Obviously thy have a standard well below mine. They refuse to act on the TV.
Other matters - the remote is underpowered; the set-up doesn't allow for in dependent selection of digital vs. analog channel screening; not favorites on remote; no multiple component operational capability.
I have multiple Samsung televisions. Their quality control has been unpeccable. I owned a Toshiba TV that has lasted nearly 10 years without any issues. Multiple Sony televisions in my arsenal have also been great picture, features and reliable. Even a 42" Westinghouse TV has operated flawless for many years. In this competitive market we have many choices and I will definitely exercise them in the future.
 Fantastic TV - Great Image and Quality Aug 10, 2009
We got this earlier this year, and have been very pleased with it! It has clear picture and is great to watch. We don't really use the volume on it as we have a speaker system, the sound is ok though without it. Amazon even set it up in my living room for me with the white glove delivery. One thing to note, if you turn on the light auto adujst it may interfere with your cable remote operation. We had swapped out 3 cable boxes to realize it was a setting on the TV that was sending out a signal that made the remote not work.

Very well built, Great Pic
Great LCD tv Jun 16, 2009
Very happy with this purchase. Got it from Amazon for 850.00 shipped no tax, so cant complain about that! 5 hdmi inputs plus pc inputs makes this a very scaleable tv. People complain about pixels up close. Yes you will see some blocks up close (1 or 2 feet away) but from my sitting distance of 8 - 14 feet, the screen is crystal clear. HD looks amazing of course. Xbox360 in 1080 is fantastic. Speakers are garbage though, but you should expect that on any LCD or Plasma, unless you are dropping 1500.00 +. A word about LCD vs. Plasma. There are valid arguments for and against both technologies. For me it came down to 1 simple thing. Plasma generates heat, and heat and electronics dont mix!

Sharp Aquos LC42D62U panel problem May 29, 2009
My Sharp Aquos LC42D62U encountered an LCD panel problem in only it's 3rd year of use. I purchased the product from PC Richard. I also purchased an extended 3 year warranty from PC Richard. When I encountered the problem, I had already moved outside PC Richard's service area so they refunded my money. Had I purchased a warranty direct from Sharp, maybe they would have covered the problem. I was not given the option of purchasing the warranty direct from Sharp by PC Richard so Sharp is not willing to accept the cost of the PC Richard warranty to correct the problem. They are only offering pro-rated cost to replace the TV. My next TV will not be a Sharp. So I guess the message here is buy the extended warranty direct if you can, and the product and service is likely to be better from Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, etc.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
