Looks - the Aquos 46 inch LCD is a good looking television, very much based on the Pioneer piano black glossy look. It has good levels of contrast when not using dynamic mode it can give a good bright lively picture. Setup is easy.
I can only comment on the TV I purchased. The TV's main problem is pulsing. Even in HD the pulsing is bad which means fine detail is lost. As for SD pictures... oh dear! It ranges from poor to almost unwatchable. Even tweaking the settings can not resolve the problem if you turn the sharpness down some of the pulsing is reduced but leaves a soft blurred picture. The changing between sources is awkward.
in my opinion there are way too many issues with the TV to give any other opinion than to be disappointed. I may have been unlucky to have got a bad egg. It's true you get full HD but for sky HD this is not an issue. If you use a Blu-ray - HD DVD or PS3 then you get the benefit of 1080p. But in the sources I use the picture is plagued by pulsing which in SD maybe you would expect but not in HD. The sound is the best bit, it's good. But TV, in my opinion, is all about picture and this TV just does not cut it. As I have a banding problem this is a black band going horizontal fully across the screen with a white vertical band up and down the height of the screen. So I can say the aftersale service of Sharp is poor. I reported the fault over 2 weeks ago and still no visit.
