Once we got past the set-up, the television was fantastic!

We bought our Sharp Aquos online from Costco in July, '07. Setting it up ourselves was tricky with everything that needed to be connected. Once that was accomplished, we were fine. We have satellite and haven't had any problem with the picture from day one. We have not subscribed to HD yet and haven't felt the urgent need to do so, but probably will eventually. Our chief complaint is that we have had to have a sound system added as the regular television sound just doesn't go high enough. We are so pleased with our 46" set, that we're considering the same set, only smaller, for our bedroom.
