This is not just a fantastic TV, but also a fantastic value. After weeks of research in the 46" LCD 1080p TV class, I finally decided on this one, and am I glad I did. I was drawn more by reviews from trusted sources to the Samsung, but because I've been so impressed with Sharp over the years, I went with my gut instinct and I am glad I did.
Sharp is not just a brand name, but also an accurate description of their products. There is no other way to describe the picture clarity. Set up was a snap. Once I attached the stand, I pretty much plugged it in and was ready to go. The picture is crisp and provides a lot of contrast. I've experienced NONE of the problems my friends do with their LCD HDTVs. The picture is bright and there are no trails, mosaics, artifacts or other picture distractions. I love the HDMI link feature, which allows me to control devices attached via HDMI with the TV remote, with no setup required.
The only cons I can think of are the instruction manual. It lacks. If you want to change your digital audio set up, you have to be in TV mode, not one of the HDMI inputs. That's just an example of a small lapse in explanation in the manual. The TV also comes set to auto adjust to light levels. So the whole time you are watching, it keeps dimming and brightening. That feature can easily be disabled. The audio optical out port seems a little too 'big' for my cable. It fell out when I brushed against it. Not an issue now that the TV is set up and won't be moved. These are the ONLY complaints I can even pretend to have. Their set up menus are intuitive, like all Sharp products. The TV has an enormous amount of inputs and outputs. I think it has about 8 HDMI inputs. Ridiculous, in a good way. The remote is simple, not too many functions and easy to navigate.
I wasn't disappointed at all in the sound quality. While LCDs are notorious for having small, fairly useless speakers. While certainly not like a decent home theater system or similar, they don't sound bad and would be more than adequate for someone who just wants to watch TV or movies quietly.
I've had friends buying different HDTVs for years and spending twice as much. I think this TV looks the best out of all the ones I've seen, period. This TV is also a great price. If you want a great picture and easy use, this TV is for you. I'm more than 100% satisfied, it exceeded my expectations and then some.
Software update fixed DVI-HDMI problem December 11, 2009

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).
