Advantages: Cheap, simple to use and good picture Disadvantages: Basic in features, better picture on more expensive sets, poor EPG
As we allready own a Sharp Aquos LC 32 (analogue) we decided to upgrade to a 46" Digital model.
The TV is simple to instal and tune and the menu easy to follow.
The backlight feature is not so good as it is set on maximum as a factory standard. We could have done with a bit more backlight as the picture can appear dark at times.
The Electronic Program Guide is not the best in the world but suffient ... ...the Aquos buttons....useful if only Sharp would only advertise these extras. I get fed up having to search for attchments on the net.
Overall, very good value for money at less than £800. To be honest, I do not think that most people can tell the difference between HD and ordinary pictures, a bit like fine wines, you have to be a snob or have a very refined palet.
Finally, do not buy the largest TV you can, think about ... more

The Electronic Program Guide is not the best in the world but suffient for use. It takes forever to browse through the week ahead as you have to move one program at a time. Most EPGs allow you to skip days.
To obtain the best results, you have to adjust all of the colours and tints to your own standards but this is easy to do and the menu is user friendly.
It is very light for its size and easy to mount on a wall fitting.
The remote is easy to use but there is an added extra of the Aquos buttons....useful if only Sharp would only advertise these extras. I get fed up having to search for attchments on the net.

Finally, do not buy the largest TV you can, think about how far you are sitting from the screen.
For the 32", we can sit as close as 2 mtrs and not have any problems. With the 46", the eyes cannot focus on the picture and we have to sit about 3 mtrs from the screen to enjoy the picture.
