Why are all of the real tech specs hidden? Nowhere on sharps site or this listing does it list what protocol the wifi is using, what the 'smart tv' stuff supports(DLNA?), what kind of lcd panel it is(TN? IPS?). The product 'tech specs' remind me of a...

I am sorry to say that these questions are over my head. I don't know what any of those things mean. But my assumption is that since all of those things matter to you, this tv is likely not for you. Like I mentioned in my review, the Netflix did not work very well. So I expect that the other smart features are also unimpressive. That doesn't bother me, since I use my bluray player for that. Also, the picture in motion is not the greatest, so that might be an issue for you too. For my basic requirements, I am satisfied with this. I know that this is not the best tv, but the price was good & I like it.

I have or had at least 10 other LCD TV's, ranging from Sony, Toshiba, Phillips, Vizio to LG. Sharp is the first one that requires switching manually between the cable and air options, trying to watch analog and digital channels, respectively. None of the Sharp support personnel could understandwhy, especially when I even went and installed and amplified splitter. The two other LCD TV's in the house, as well as my LG LCD tv which was replaced by this top of the line Sharp unit, have no problems tuning all under the same cable search function. Amazon also decided to replace it almost immediately, that tells me I am probably not the first with this problem.

I am not knowledgeable in the IT realm, so didn't know to look for a difference when buying. So, I finally found your answer on the literature that came in the box with the product. At the bottom of the specifications list it says that the product "meets 1.4 standard". The other specifications stated are: HDMI male to HDMI male connector, copper wire conductors, gold connectors, triple shielded, supports ethernet, supports audio return, supports deep color, 4K resolution capable, 3D and 1080 capable. The product does what I need, with no hitch.

Hi, I went through this this summer. Exact same scenario. Headline said PT smart tabs and description was for SX. DON'T make the mistake I made. I purchased and sure enough they were the SX. Co. on amazon refused to send the PT tabs, I could return them but would have to pay shipping etc. HUGE hassle. I logged complaints with BBB and Amazon. Then did return them. I searched and found them from a different source for $135.00. After the complaints etc. and a month or so they did finally reimburse my account for the shipping. Good news is they do work great and pretty easy to install. I am very happy with the PT model smart tabs. I hope this helps, Ric

Active glasses. Don't buy this tv because of its 3D. You will be disappointed. Buy it because you can connect several hdmi, Ethernet, USB, and cable. I have a 6 tb hard drive connected to the network. I recommend sharp to anyone wanting to buy. I have 2 60" sharps. I love both.

I bought UN46B8000 last week, I'm loving it. I need to know if the internet on TV has search engine? or we have to use webpages that come with TV??any idea??

You are exactly right. Information posted by many customers re: 120HZ on this set is often incorrect and oftentimes the manufacturers themselves do not make the specs clear (carefully read the 120hz info on the new LG Scarlet for a good example - the 120hz info is buried re: availability on different sizes). I would appreciate it if Amazon would correct this chart to help purchasers make more informed decisions and to maintain a higher standard than other websites. Thanks for your post -

The problem is Sharp Choices is selling a VGA/A-V cable that does not fit the mini projector connector. That´s a BBB concern since they are selling that as a "3M" cable. Watch out Amazon!, one of your vendors is misleading your costumers, especially those like me that lived abroad.

Sorry but I won't give any information that might lead to someone making the mistake of buying a Sharp TV. The quality and customer service is absolutely horrible.

I do not own this tv but the product spec PDF on Amazon shows it to be DLNA compliant so you should be able to stream from a DLNA source on the network. Can anyone who owns this confirm? Update: I bought this TV and it DOES have DLNA networking capabilities. Worked very well streaming from a 2TB media server.

When I got one, I also looked far and wide to find out what type of panel it had. Couldn't find anything, but having used it, I think it's a an IPS. The thing has better viewing angles than my mVA panel monitor and the blacks are deeper as well. Actually, I wouldn't worry about the picture quality of this thing at all. And if by some chance you end up with an inferior model, you can always return TVs to Amazon with free return shipping and no restocking fee.

I asked nvidea about their lack of updates on their compatability list, and if newer versions of hdtv's were compatable. The guy stated firmly that if hdtv is not on compatability list, it will not work. I got no answer why they don't update list for newer tv's.

JEM - I spent some time searching for the same thing. While you can check out the link below as well and which shows product specifications listed by Sharp, in short the 42U is listed as having Multi-Pixel Technology where as the 43U does not. Aside from this everything else is exactly the same. http://www.sharpusa.com/files/tel_dow_AQUOS_Full_Line_0107.pdf

i dunno why...there is a sharp that has it tho...my friend who seems pretty knowledgable with this stuff claims that 1080p is not worth it in a tv below 40 inches because you cannot really see the effect...

I recently bought the Viera TC-P55ST50 and I am not happy and I am considering replacing it for the following reasons: Picture quality, Reflection madness, Cannot receive Amazon 3D movies because I do not have enough band width and you can't rent 3D movies from Netflix, Hulu, or from Blockbuster so who do you rent from? So, limited to DirecTV (which I have). I miss my Samsung, so looking at replacing with this product mentioned in this month's Consumer Reports as a "Best Buy". Other reviews regarding who needs a "Smart TV" are correct as long as you have a Blu Ray player with those features or game box.
