"This was an impromptu purchase after my daughter's friend killed my favorite TV with the Wii Remote. Papa has to have his big screen![...] the TV emerged perfect!I picked the Sharp because it's the only 37" model that fits in our custom entertainment center. All the rest are too big. Plus, we have another Sharp (CRT) that's performed flawlessly for the last eight years.What I like: The picture is stunning with blacks much deeper than the LCD which was broken. The digital tuner pulls in OTA broadcasts at least as well as the converter box it replaces. The higher resolution makes it suitable for connecting to a computer. In fact, after connecting it to my Mac, on it's own the computer decided to make it the default display. I'm ordering a wireless keyboard and mouse so I can surf and email from the Lazy-Boy eight feet away. And I particularly like the automatic backlight brightness control - very nice for adjusting to a variety of ambient conditions.What I don't like: The gloss black bezel and stand will show every fingerprint and speck of dust. Some of the on-screen menu items are tedious and non-intuitive, I.e. manually deleting unwanted channels from the automatic scan. Fortunately you only have to mess with this once. Worst of all is the remote. It's ridiculously long with a poor layout and at least five unnecessary buttons I can think of right off the top of my head. The menu navigation buttons don't control channels and volume like they do on other TV remotes - instead there are two rockers. Instead of hitting the Menu button to exit the menus there is an Exit button. There is even a Return button to move backwards in the menus instead of pressing the navigation keys. To top it all off, there are two Enter keys - one for the menus and the other for the number pad. There is a nice light for the remote but it doesn't illuminate the number pad - where you need it the most in a dark room. Although you can buy a better remote, if it weren't for the remote Sharp provides, this TV would earn five stars."
