size matters: so far I'm happy with the image quality, which I could describe as simply stunning, but could someone tell me why this set is advertised as a 46 inch TV when the screen is only 40 and with the frame and all the entire thing doesn't even...

Direction matters. Measure the screen diagonally. Class warfare has nothing to do with it.

Well let me put it this way, you are blowing up the image to fit with no more data available. That said SD willalways look like crap on a larger screen, that is a fact of life. I dont find this tv to be any worse or better then my Sharp or my Panny. Bottom line, blow up a 35mm negative and a 8 x10 negative to a poster and guess which will look better, same thing here.

i dunno why...there is a sharp that has it tho...my friend who seems pretty knowledgable with this stuff claims that 1080p is not worth it in a tv below 40 inches because you cannot really see the effect...

I didn't measure it .. it would have been perfect had I bought it for a tv for my kitchen, or for a small bedroom, but I wanted it for my office. Thought it would be big enough, but wasn't. Great picture/quality .. just not big enough for my 44 year old eyes. lol

This TV is not 1080p, it's 720p. However, it's generally accepted that on any monitor 50" and below the additional resolution isn't discernable.

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

I would buy another Sceptre TV. I haven't had any problems with my 39". The 39" is the #1 selling LCD on Amazon.

For a screen of this size hd is not needed - this picture looks better than my 32 in. hdtv!!!!

The television set of this make and model which I bought and reviewed was 40 inches - as a matter of fact, the whole box it came in wasn't even 60 inches, lol. However, I must say that I do not know for sure if Sharp makes another size tv set with this same exact model code, but I doubt it, since it would cause a lot of confusion and irritation if people were searching for one size and another size kept popping up under the same model...it's possible that the the other place you mentioned just made a simple typographical error.

You can adjust the aspect ratio so that it fills the entire screen, but that would distort the picture somewhat. I like to put it in 4:3 mode, so it looks like a normal picture. Burn-in warnings be damned! But you'll be watching the important stuff through the HD air antenna anyway. I think the SD picture is just okay. It's a bit pixelated (probably because of the size of the TV) and the colors don't seem as sharp as my 23-year old Sony Trinitron. Once you see the HD picture, SD will look that much worse.

Take care to have something near in the foreground. I display the images on a 50" HDTV and it feels like you can just get up and into the picture. Good choice!

These are new TVs, but they can not be confused with top of the line brands. I purchased a 40 inch version, it had an OK display and good audio. It does have a couple of problems and a service tech will be here in a week to repair them.

I have a 32 in Element hdtv, lcd. Picture is good. I bought the 50 in for our larger living room and the quality is way better than our 32. clarity is sharp, three windows in the room do not effect glare. Great tv...

Not worth it. I got this tv to replace is cheaper 47" Sharp TV, and have to say I am disappointed in the picture quality. The picture is dim and washed out, I am wondering if the reviews here are for the right television. On scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best I'd rate my Samsung F5300 as a 5. Hopefully I can find some good calibration settings

I bought TH-50PZ700U about 6 months ago (This is late March) and my wife and I still LOVE THIS TV!!! I'm disabled and at home 24 - 7, and the set gets a very good workout. The performance is far better than expected and things like even the sound quality are excellent. I watch between 18 and 20 hours every day. Back to the question at hand,,, I bought my stand at Costco. They had a few nice stands and all you have to do is get in the floor and put it together. I've got a great wife that helped, since I'm disabled and can't get up and down during the process. Really, Just look around at the discount places. Thanks and I Hope this helped,,, sc00ter48 J.L.

I enjoy helping answering questions, but I gotta say, this has been answered time and time again by many responders. Please take a moment and read previous replies and/or look at specs for this TV.
