Amazon.com Product Description
Sharp's LC-45D40U high-definition LCD HDTV proves you don't have to sacrifice style for technology. This gorgeous 45-inch set features a strikingly shiny piano black cabinet that will become an elegant centerpiece to any room. It also features the latest Sharp screen and video processing innovations, as well as an integrated HDTV tuner, a space-saving design with bottom-mounted speakers, included stand, pure digital audio/video connectivity with two HDMI inputs, and a rapid-fire response time of 6 ms (milliseconds)--perfect for watching fast-action sports and movies.

This set features Sharp's Multi-Pixel technology, which divides each pixel in to two sections to deliver more natural and accurate color reproduction when viewing the screen from any angle. It will improve extreme-angle viewing by approximately 60 percent. It also offers Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View (ASV) LCD panel technology, which uses an enhanced color filter that permits more light throughput. This increases the contrast ratio by 150 percent to 1200:1 for pure whites, deep blacks, and a higher range of colors. Sharp's Quick Shoot video circuitry provides an ultra-fast pixel response time of 6 ms, which helps to ensure excellent detail and smooth motion during high-speed scene transitions. The screen also offers a low-reflection coating to reduce the effect of sunlight and interior lighting to provide vivid large-screen pictures wherever you install your LCD television.

The built-in ATSC tuner pulls HD signals right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. The screen delivers a true 1366 x 768-pixel HDTV resolution, and it also features a wide 176-degree viewing angle and 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating--perfect for viewing colorful details in even direct sunlight.

You'll enjoy enveloping audio from the set's built-in 20-watt bottom-mounted stereo speakers (10 watts per channel), which can also produce virtual Dolby surround sound. It provides the following connection options:

  • Composite AV (RCA): 3 in
  • S-Video: 1 in
  • Component Video: 2 in
  • HDMI: 2 in
  • RF: 1 in
  • Total analog audio in: 4
  • Analog audio out: 1
  • Digital optical: 1 out

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Overall very Good, very sharp picture even when connected to analog equipment.
However for the price it's missing a DVI Input and D Sub connectors.

I shopped hard last November to find the best value in a large LCD TV. The 45' Sharp LCD 730P TV won hands down. Three months later I still have not found a better value.

Amazon shipped it quickly and safely. No complaints... a great TV

This TV is great! I really looked around and read a lot of reviews on LCD HDTV's and this one was very highly rated. While I am not a techno wizard, I do love to watch TV. It was easy to set up and has a great look in my den. I highly recommend this product.

I have been looking for about 1 year at plasma and lcd tv's. In the last 3 months I decided on the lcd format, mainly due to heat and energy data. It was a close tie between Sharp and Sony but a few things gave the sharp the edge. My wife is a musician and scientist, so I used her to determine color tone differences and she found the blacks a little better on the Sharp. We both liked the black finish on the Sharp over the dull silver Sony. The Sharp has a consumer replaceable lamp - not a big deal with 70-80,000 hour lamps but nice to know the whole unit isn't garbage because of a light. LCD and Plasma use built in lamps to provide the brightness on the screens, only Sharp makes them replaceable to my knowledge. It has every input/output you would need - Composite, HDMI, S-Video, Coax.

I was thinking of purchasing this TV, but realized that there aren't any DVI or D-Sub inputs.
