Great set at an incredible price,
11/07/2009
Picked my set up today 10/7 did a lot of research before making my purchase and liked the features of the set.
Setup only took a few minutes it comes with a basic remote that is easy to use and decently laid out.
I wish the remote's volume and channel up down buttons were larger and more towards the bottom but did like the location of the buttons on the set (they are hidden on the right side).
While researching this set i saw a few people had volume issues which I assumed was due to them using their cable boxes to control the sets volume but unfortnatly it is a problem.
I noticed that on most channels you have to crank the volume up to about 70% and interestingly enough the volume DECREASED on digital HD channels. (when you change channels the tv tells you when its picking up a HD channel and also states what resolution its in ie: 1020 720 etc..
I didn't care too much about that as when I watch the tv i always turn my receiver on and run the sound through that the only time we listen to tv through the tv speakers is when the kids are watching something.
Picture wise the set is excellent I upgraded from a Sony 61" projection set that we bought almost 15 years ago and the difference is amazing. I thought i would miss the larger screen but 52" is surprisingly large.
When the sun went down I actually found myself turning the power save feature on and turning teh backlight down as it was just too bright.
I will mention that I bought the extended warranty through walmart it was $80 fro 3 years from date of purchase even though the manufacturer gives you 1 year parts and labor we all know that 1 month after the warranty expires is when something goes wrong and compared to other retailers that want $200 to $400 for their warranties $80 seems a good price.
Overall very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend Walmart and Sharp to everyone.
