 Software update fixed DVI-HDMI problem December 11, 2009
Jeffrey (Silicon Valley)
I bought my LC-46E77U to serve both as a TV and as a monitor for my living room computer (Mac Mini), so I was deeply disappointed to experience the same problem April King (11/7/09) and other internet reviewers have described: the unit would not consistently recognize the MacMini video signal via a DVI-to-HDMI cable. I'd have to power-cycle the TV, time the Mac's reboot, all kinds of nonsense simply to get a picture. Pretty darn useless as a monitor, no?
GOOD NEWS: Sharp's software update appears to have fixed the problem. Now that my E77 plays well with my Mac, I can happily give it five stars. The procedure is simple:
1) [...] / customer support / product downloads
2) LCD TVs / LC-46E77U / Firmware
3) Select firmware update for your set and save onto USB drive. Unzip and place in root of drive.
4) Follow installation directions in manual, page 30 (or just insert drive into TV and press MENU / Digital Setup / Software Update)
If it works for you as it did for me, your beautiful and expensive doorstop will turn back into an excellent monitor. Thank goodness -- I was thinking of returning it.
 Calibration Settings + Tips/Tricks November 7, 2009

I actually own the sister version of this product (the Sharp LC-52E77U), but the information in this review is equally applicable to this TV since they use the same, albeit smaller, panel.
Since I have owned this TV for a few months now, I thought it would be helpful to share a few tips and tricks I have learned:
PROBLEM: INCOMPATIBLE AUDIO SIGNAL
All my A/V devices (360, PS3, Wii, Samsung DTB-H260F) were connected to my Onkyo TX-SR607 receiver with HDMI, which was set to output to my Sharp Aquos LC-52E77U. And, although the receiver was set to "Audio TV Out" off (and even with it on), the TV kept popping up this error:
"Incompatible audio signal has been received, please check the output signal."
It only pops up for a few seconds, and only when I would switch devices or resolution or whatever. Still, pretty annoying. Connecting the devices directly to the TV via HDMI caused the same error - the only time it didn't happen is when there was 2ch 44.1/48Khz PCM involved.
Unfortunately, unlike every other TV I have ever owned, the Sharp doesn't have a menu option to disable audio. Muting didn't help, either.
The solution? Set the audio volume to 0. No more error!
PROBLEM: NO DEVICE DETECTED (DVI -> HDMI)
When I first got this TV, I plugged in my Mac Mini, using a DVI -> HDMI cable. After using it for a bit, the TV would stop recognizing that the Mac Mini was connected. It turns out that, whenever the Mac Mini would be rebooted or would go to sleep, the Sharp would refuse to recognize that it was connected anymore.
The solution? Physically unplugging and plugging in the TV (not just pressing the power button), and disabling sleep on the Mac. I still have to do this unplugging dance occasionally - like for system updates - but not as often as when sleep was enabled. I guess that's the price you pay for a beautiful 1080p HDMI signal, as opposed to a letterboxed 1600x1200 VGA signal - the max this TV supports.
CALIBRATION SETTINGS
This TV has some definite problems with blues in areas of high contrast. Here are the best settings I have found, in order of their appearance in the menus:
OPC: Off
Backlight: +6 (you can adjust up or down a smidge if need be)
Contrast: +36
Brightness: -6
Color: +1
Tint: +1
Sharpness: -1
CMS Hue/Saturation/Value: 0
Color Temp.: Low (leave at Mid for color managed devices like Macs, or OTA TV)
R Gain: +11
G Gain: 0
B Gain: -10
Fine Motion Enhanced: Off (leave on for sports if you prefer)
Active Contrast: Off
Gamma Adjustment: 0
Film Mode: Off (I used Advanced(Low) for sports)
Digital Noise Reduction: Off
Monochrome: Off
Range of OPC: +16 Max, -16 Min (it is off, anyways)
Fantastic TV! October 29, 2009

I purchased the 46 inch Sharp LCD TV from an internet retailer for nine-eighty-eight including shipping in Oct 2009. It arrived within a week in a box as big as a small car. This is a great TV. When you go through the initial setup it will look for channels (a cable thing I think) so just let it finish. When done use the input button on the remote to select the input that you used (HDMI 7 for instance)and the picture will appear. The entire setup including attaching the base took about 30 minutes just in time for Monday night football. Watching football on this TV is unbelievable, it is like you are on the sidelines. The colors are perfect and the whole setup looks great. My old 26 inch lcd which was sitting in our built in now looks like we were watching TV in a closet or box. I hooked the TV to my Direct TV HD DVR. I also bought a Monster Home Theater power surge device to protect my investment. It did seem to slightly improve the picture, but since it was near perfect in the first place it is really hard to tell. I was going to buy and LG LCD but discovered it did not have a simple Audio out which I need for my wireless headphones. The Sharp has more inputs and outputs than I will ever need. The 27000 to 1 contrast ratio seems great. I can't imagine needing a higher ratio. I also recommend you pay extra to get a 120MHZ TV (4ms response time).
Bargain winner September 16, 2009
Sibbi (San Diego, CA)
Just purchased this gem a few days ago and its performance has been spectacular. Setup was quite easy and multiple tweaks allow you to view the picture according to your individual taste. Blu-ray movies are as clear as you could possibly want, and baseball and football games on high def cable are equally enjoyable to watch.
With this set, you don't need to spend big bucks to obtain superior performance. It's a bargain winner.
It's good "out of the box" but not perfect September 12, 2009

I decided to take the plunge and get this TV after my last TV (a HDTV CRT) had its tube burst on me this summer. My requirements were pretty straightforward:
- 1080p (have to be future proof)
- 46"
- 120Hz or greater refresh rate so I don't have to deal with blurring when I'm watching sports
I'm happy with my Sharp LC46E77U with one exception: I think I'm seeing some blurring. Not a lot of blurring by any means, but I wasn't expecting any blur from a 120Hz TV. To be completely honest with you, I'm not sure if it's due to the broadcasts I'm watching or the TV causing ghosting effects, but it is a little bothersome right now.
The TV is great for almost all my daily viewing needs. We'll just have to see if the small amount of blur bothers me during football season.
