blairy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have had mine turned off and I have been watching cricket and tennis and it looked perfect with it switched off but when the footy starts i will have a play and see what it does. Where in the settings do you turn it on (and off)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dst1800 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi all. I've had my 46" d83x for a few weeks now and can honestly say that it is the best purchase I've ever made. Only thing I can't figure out is where picture-in-picture is, if it has this function. Can anyone let me know as I like to have half tv showing while waiting for xbox games? Thanks.

ALso ion there is a movie setting - what does it do (or what is it meant to do). Off seems best; high makes HD-DVD (via Xbox add on 1080p/60Hz) I was watching last night a little jerky?

blairy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Picked up 52" last saturday and been giving it a bit of a workout since.PQ great on BD and HD-DVD. FTA not quite as good but certainly impressive (hey even the epg works - is this first digital tuner that does Foxtel pretty much as anticipated - poor (via component thru avr; no upscale I'm afraid to say). Issue I do have is smudges around edge of screen (principally along top and bottom). These are most noticeable on panning scenes (eg camera running sideways across football field/cricket pitch or sky scenes). Basically large cloud like smudges that don't move. Ran dead pixel buddie and doesn't appear to be any issues. Kinda looks like finger prints; cleaned screen as per instructions to no avail; maybe finger prints on inside of glass Anybody got any clues as to what this and how I might get rid of it? cheers blairy Well what a stuff up (by me). Instead of going back to retailer pronto and organising change over, I opted to email Sharp direct to get this sorted out. Sharp insisted on an inspection of panel. This was done yesterday. Took the guy about nine seconds to decide it needed replacing. He's gone away to get that organised. Should hear back next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairy Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Is it just me, or is the epg on this panel really quite impressive. I've experienced fta digital tv on a number of boxes/panels and this is light years ahead of all the others I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amonahan Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 i agree 100% with you. Goldy - anything to report from the footy over the weekend? MotionFlow on or off and ability of the panel to display smooth images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Goldy - anything to report from the footy over the weekend? MotionFlow on or off and ability of the panel to display smooth images? watched the mighty saints flog the tigers on hd70 and it looked excellent and i had the motionflow off. so watching the footy on hd10 during the season should look awsome to. i watched the 20/20 aus vs india game which was done in HD and it looked unbelieveable,it was so clear and the detail was amazing. So all good so far. Eveb the tennis a while ago looked excellent to with no smearing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosquito Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Getting serious about buying this tv so went to Hardly Normal in Malaga WA and they said that they wont be stocking the Sharp anymore because of its bad quality. Can someone please share some light on the subject as now i am more confused. Was he talking fact or did he use the so called tactic to purchase another tv, as he was keen to sell me the Philips. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. I went to HN O'Connor on Saturday and in place of the normal Sony Bravia displays was a new section dedicated entirely to Philips. Sounds to me like some HN stores might be pushing the Philips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinvanmil Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just thought Id post my buy of the 42" D83.I am quite happy with the TV, even though I have only seen Foxtel as I have no antenna ATM I bought it from HN Auburn for $2550. Considering I was quoted $3450 at JB Parramatta I thought it was a pretty good buy. Hello Track Side, I was wondering if I could get a copy of your receipt please? Or from anybody else that had a similar deal on the 42D83x? Thank you, I would really appreciate if you could find some spare time to email me. My email is vinvanmil@hotmail.com.

blairy Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Heard back from Sharp as anticipated...now they want photos of problems. Seems they don't believe their own service reps Well knock me down with a feather. Emailed photos of issues in on Tuesday night...of course sent to wrong blasted email address ddin't I. Rang sharp wednesday and gave the poor fellow a real serve. Semt photos again Wednesdday night. Rang this morning and agreed to arrange swap...but wants to come and look at panel...this problem is so unusal he's keen to see it. As I was working from home today I said pop round this afternoon (Sharp Blacktown is about 20 mins from me). He did with a coleague. Both quite befuddled by weird marks on inside of screen. Wnet back oout to car and rpoduced replacement panel on the spot. Could not be happier. New panel actually makes realsie how bad the old panel was... Well offf to set it all up again cheers blairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobOz Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Anyone getting prices for the 52"? Had Bing Lee offer $5000 without bargaining. Myer was keen to make a sale but only offered $5200. Told them it was a terrible "best price", they went to $4700. Bing Lee had the 46" ticketed at $3500 so bit hard to justify the extra 6" for $1200. Think that they'll have to move more.

blairy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Good to hear all went well, let us know what you think of youre new panel.cheers WOW - panel is mighty impressive on display (that's why I bought it). Granted my original was faulty (and now that I have a decent one) even more so than I realised. FTA never looked so good, HD-DVD via EX1 is nothing less than phantasgamorical. Early days yet and haven't even started playing with settings but this is one awesome panel Cheers blairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
