Pros
The Sharp Aquos LC-32D40U: beautiful and light.Picture quality is excellent. Colour is natural.
Cons
Picture goes black intermittently. Black screen becomes permanent. One year warranty insufficient.

No
The Bottom Line:
Don't purchase Sharp's Aquos LC32D40U. After thirteen months, mine is useless because of an initial intermittent, now permanent, screen blackout.
My love affair with our thirteen month old Sharp Aquos LC-32D40U fizzled out over a period of months. Initially, I loved the realistic picture, the great surround sound and the sleek looks of the television itself.
Blackouts began shortly after we purchased the television and became more and more frequent. We could get sound but the screen would remain black. We could get our picture back by unplugging everything and then plugging it all back in again or by letting the set rest.
Yesterday morning, the love affair ended abruptly when the television remained black despite our efforts at CPR. We could hear our favorite programs but could not see them.
Luckily, we have an extended warranty for our television ($400 for two years). Now we embark on the adventure of getting it repaired. It began with a call to our extended warranty provider and was put on hold when she said I would have to wait out the weekend to find out if service was available in our area.
Results from a brief exploration of the Internet revealed that we are not alone with our problems. It seems this model is subject to blackouts. The biggest problem consumers face is getting acknowledgement from Sharp that these problems exist.
