With screen size 37", the elegant AQUOS D42U Series easily enhances the decor of any family room, living room or den. With a true 16:9 aspect ratio, HDTV resolution of 1366 x 768, Sharp's Emmy award-winning LCD technology and breathtaking color purity, it is a next-generation TV to carry you into the high-definition future. The D42U Series utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel providing 6000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 6ms response time and wider viewing angles (176 H x 176 V). Both models are HDTVs with built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC tuners and include 2 HDMI and HD component video inputs as well as a D-sub, 15-pin input for PC compatibility. The D42U Series features a black cabinet and the included table stand easily removes for wall mounting applications. Optional Wall Mount Brackets are also available: AN-37AG2 (Tilting) and AN-LCGWF (Flat). Feature List
- 16:9 ASV LCD Panel from Sharp's state-of-the-art Kameyama factory producing 6000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 6ms response time.
- True 16:9 wide-screen aspect ratio with 1366 x 768 HDTV resolution.
- Wide Viewing Angles (176 H x 176 W) Sharp's AQUOS viewing angles are so wide, you can view the TV clearly from practically anywhere in the room.
- PC Input conveniently turns your TV into a PC monitor.
- Enhanced Color Filter uses finer points to achieve higher throughput, enabling deeper, more vivid colors and 150% higher contrast ratio.
- High Brightness (450 cd/m2) AQUOS LCD Televisions are very bright. You can put them virtually anywhere - even near windows, doors or other light sources - and the picture is still vivid.
- Built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC Tuners provide access to DTV and analog TV channels.
Product Description
Prepare for HDTV and have it too. The Sharp LC-37D42U has both analog NTSC and digital ATSC TV tuners. The ATSC TV tuner lets you receive high-definition TV broadcasts free over-the-air (where available) when using an HDTV antenna. The bright 37" widescreen award-winning AQUOS LCD panel provides 1200:1 static-contrast ratio and 6,000:1 dynamic-contrast ratio for superb imaging. A movie shown at a prime theater delivers about a 500:1 contrast ratio as a comparison to the astounding picture presentation from this TV. The screen has a superfast response time of 6 milliseconds that makes it perfect for faithfully reproducing fast-action video and videogames. In addition to the usual complement of TV and video inputs, the LC-37D42U also has 2 new HDMI integrated digital A/V inputs and an input that lets you connect a PC for use as a computer display. Imagine browsing the Internet using a 32" screen TV. At about 53 pounds (with included TV stand), this flat-panel screen can also be wall mounted with an optional wall bracket.

 Customer service appalling June 27, 2008
Lailani
We were pretty happy with our 37 inch Aquos until it didn't turn on one day. The Sharp customer warranty is useless - I have never received such appalling service - basically they don't care. After 2 weeks after having our TV in repair I find out that the spare part has not even been ordered yet and any efforts to have the process sped up have met a brick wall. Might as well be talking to a voice recording so mechanical and unsympathetic are their operators. I have tried so hard to be supplied a replacement unit but again they take no responsibility and their attitude is completely uncaring. I will never buy Sharp again, and I will be recommending to all my friends and family not to buy from Sharp. I will be sticking with tried and trusted Pioneer and Sony. Sharp are a complete discredit to Japanese companies.

I have owned this TV since 2-15-07 . I got that Cracking sound so many talked about for the first 2 months now it went away . I did some research on found on the web that its just the plastic case adjusting to the heat. Other wise awesome TV. I send all my sound thru receiver so sound is not an issue that a few complained about . In fact next week Buying the 32 inch version of this for the bedroom . Friends bought other TV'S and think I HAVE BETTER PICTURE.

This is my second TV that I have got. The first one had creaking sounds coming from inside the moment you start the TV. The second one has the same problem too. The sharp customer service sucks big time.
The picture quality is good. The set up is easy too.
Great TV but... April 11, 2007

This TV gives a beautiful picture. But, as some other reviewers have mentioned, there's this little problem with the "creaking" or "clicking" or "ticking" noise, whatever you call it, when the TV is warming up or cooling down. On our first one, this noise got to be so distracting that we returned it as defective and got a new one. Unfortunately the new one has this problem too, though it hasn't gotten as bad as the first one yet. The jury is still out whether we will keep it.
We are on our third Sharp LCD now, all have had great pictures but have had minor but annoying quality control issues.
Happy w/purchase March 17, 2007

This is our first LCD TV. Our tube TV finally died. My wife actually picked out this unit and Consumer Reports also recommended this unit. We purchased it directly from AMAZON on January 23, 2007. I wanted to wait a couple of months before I write my review to see if anything happens. But to my surprise the TV is still running and there have been no problems. We have digital HD and the pictures are great. It took me a couple of weeks to get use to watching tv with such sharp color and contrast. However, if you are watching normal digital programming you may not be too happy as it is flat. But overall its a good buy for us.
