Sharp AQUOS LC-42BD80U

James: #sharp_aquos_lc_42bd80u Concur with reviews. my only problem is the Blu-ray player is tootle crap. Even on the latest and greatest firmware update, you insert disc, say a Hail Mary and wait about five minutes of black screen time. if the disc plays you find yourself shouting YES! as if you won the Lottery. Otherwise it will tell you it can't recognize the disc and eject it. I bought the Avatar 3 disc. The first play, after five minutes it played. Next day, it wouldn't play. I've called Sharp twice and Nov 21, 10

Timoc33: #sharp_aquos_lc_42bd80u DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. I have had nothing but trouble. In my opinion they rushed this to market and there are too many bugs. It has been to the shop twice in two months, and the BLU-RAY still does not work. The TV is fine. I have been trying to get my money back from SHARP but no luck. The repairman said that they had three in the shop just like it and they were skeptical that any of the drives actually work. Jul 4, 09

edd: #sharp_aquos_lc_42bd80u DO NOT BUY THIS TELEVISION! I bought it 2 days ago. My only hesitation about buying it was that if the attached DVD player goes bad and this has to go out for repairs, you're out a TV while it's in the shop. Sure enough, I put a disc in and midway through the movie, the thing began to stop and start again several times--then it stopped completely. The disc will not eject. I tried the steps in the troubleshooting section, but it still will not come out. At this point, the manual says to call a technician. I'm putting this back in the box and returning it to Costco. I'll never make this mistake again. Sure, you save some space without having to put your Blu Ray player on a shelf someplace. But, believe me, it's not worth the hassle. Save yourself the potential aggravation. Don't buy it to begin with. Jun 9, 09
