Sharp has turned into shit. We've got a Sharp 46D64U 1080p lcd and a LG 720p Plasma. Picture is way better on the LG.
We also bought a Sharp BD-HP21U Blu ray player on boxing day ( think black friday, but right after Christmas) did a firmaware update on it, and still can't watch some movies that were released in November. Wall-E and Prince Caspian are two of the ones not playable until another firmware update, which people have been waiting 2 months for.
If I had known this shit I would have spent the $20 more and gotten the Samsung, and ended up being able to watch all my movies and had BD-live.
