Getting the stand set up is a pita. Pretty extreme forward tilt but directions are vague so not sure i have it on right. Just need a week or so til i can get it on the wall. Any advice on the stand is appreciated.

For example, each of the brackets has a notch that must be inserted into the base properly, otherwise it will not lay flat. Once the brackets are aligned properly, attaching them to the base is fairly easy, as is the attachment of the assembled stand onto the TV. All pieces should fit together without resistance, otherwise the assembly is probably incorrect.

I put the stand together, put it where I wanted the TV, and then I and two friends lifted the set onto the stand. They then held it in place while I tightened the screws in place. No tilt what-so-ever.

Then we just rotated the TV and put it where we wanted it. It was pretty easy.

I am running a single HDMI through a Denon AV. TV is about 18 months old. Posting on various forums to try and find out what the problem is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

What is the easiest way to remove the box to pull away from the tv so I can turn it on and have a good look at the panel? Does it have to be cut along a tape seam or does it have plastic locking tabs? i just want everythinf to run smooth as possible as I know these delivery guys get impatient...thanks

Box usually has 3 or 4 straps - once they are cut the entire top of the box lifts up and off and the TV is sitting in foam in a base box that comes up several inches. BEFORE removing the top portion of the box I would suggest opening it up at the top and remove the foam pieces there since they contain the remote, batteries, parts of the base stand, power cord - THEN remove the entire top of the box (easier to be done with 2 people on either end). You can leave the unit in the lower box and plug power cord in and do the check for cracked LCD panel. I also had a long HDMI cable and checked input from my HD-DVR with a recorded hockey game (lots of white ice) that will check for defects other than a cracked panel (which is quite obvious when you see it). Good luck!

Then just remove the white plastic film covering & the plug into the wall all the while it's still in the box bottom .You can easily access the controls ,HDMI inputs the power plug in area while the display is in the box bottom . All that is needed is the power cord ,then turn it on , go into the menu & you will be able to see if the panel is cracked with just the menu up & running . takes all of minutes to do all this .

My only disappointment has to be with Sharp not keeping pace with the cosmetic and overall look of their displays. I have to admit that looking at the thin bezeled Sammy's and Lg's kinda makes the Sharp look like a aging dinosaur....but I think once she's sitting in my living room, all will be forgotten....
