Sharp Aquos - which model?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hi,

I'm looking for a flat panel for my parents. I have a 37" Aquos in my bedroom at home (really like it) - I don't know which model it is off the top of my head though. I just went to the Sharp site to look at 32" and 37" models for my parents and noticed there are bunch of options in those sizes for the Aquos. I'm not sure which to look at.

Here are the main items I can think of:

1080p - not critical (bedroom viewing...not too picky of viewers)
cable card - must have, don't want HD cable box in bedroom
size looking at - 32" and 37"
inputs - not severely critical (2 HDMI inputs and some component?)
HDMI 1.3 - not critical
case color - not critical as long as not crazy (black or silver is fine)
PIP - not critical

I was leaning toward the Aquos since we're happy with ours. Can anyone help narrow down the field in the Aquos line and let me know which models are the latest and greatest and meet the above specs? Keep in mind this is for bedroom viewing and most likely will never be used for HD DVD or Blu-Ray or any other type of input other than HD cable.

Thanks!

am I missing something obvious? If anyone can help out, I'd appreciate it.

If you go to the Sharp website there is a 2007 brochure for their tvs with all the models and their specs (look for it when you are in the aquos page). Other than that, there are plenty of threads to do your research with. I would suggest looking at all the threads within the first three pages, that will get you all the current models.

OK, thanks. I will definitely check out the brochure. I appreciate the reply. For me, it's just a bit overwhelming to see a thread with 8,000+ replies to it!

I'll check out what I can. Thanks again.

You're gonna be hard pressed finding one with a CableCard slot. None of the new ones (2006 or 2007) I've seen have CableCard. My 2005 Aquos, I believe, were the last generation to have CableCard slots.

that stinks! But thanks for the info.

We ended up going with the 37D43U which we found at Sears. We couldn't find the 37" at any of the major retail chains for some reason, but were happy to run into it at Sears at a pretty good price (in our minds anyway). Now I'm off to go see what the difference is between the 37D40U (mine) and the 37D43U (the one we got for my parents this past weekend)...
