A Warning

This here is a warning for those of you who intend to purchase any sharp product.

I purchased my 42" Aquos almost three years ago, about 6 months ago dark streaks
started to appear on the screen and have increasingly gotten worse. I had the outlet grounded and even bought a power filter when I purchased the item. Last week I e-mailed Sharp about my issue and do you know what they did? NOTHING!!, not even a return e-mail. I'd advise anyone who is foolish enough to consider a Sharp product to reconsider. Since they do not give a rats a$$ about the customer once they have your hard earned green. I for one will never again purchase any item that is a sharp product. Now, off to the other consumer forums to spread word on how Sharp does not care about you, only your cash!!

Come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab!

Mine did it after about a year. I think it's called delamination and would cost the same to repair as a new set. Apparently fairly common with LCDs.
I'll be getting plasma next.

Did you maybe pay for it on a credit card that increased the warranty?

My Sharp has a dark streak (only one so far), and I didn't know what it was. My TV is five years old, and my warranty was for three, oh well. Thanks for the info about delamination and about Sharp.

Next time you see me, it won't be me
