Sharp LC52LE835U Reviews


After tons of research and looking at different sets of multiple stores to take best 3D TV. This is a great looking TV, the bezel is impressive and looks good. Television is the light weight and thin. Image was OK and with a little tweaking, it is absolutely incredible. watched a couple of basketball games and thrones and was blown away.

This set has a good view and 52 inches is perfect! The TV is bright and it seems incredible that famous "flash-light" or "fog" so far. Very accurate colors and applications, for example. Netflix, they are great. The TV comes with integrated WiFi, it does not need wifi usb! The blacks are dark at an angle of LED and display viewing are very wide. This TV is hooked up to standard cable box (HDMI), DVD player (HDMI), Wii (component) 

After updating the firmware via the internet cable faster, I tried all the online services and everything worked as advertised. I like the DLNA, which works fine with Windows Media Player and connects to my library on my PC. I was able to watch movies, listen to music or view photos. the sound is not bad for a TV, but of course you must connect to a surround system for better sound. I have not tested in 3D. will be updated as soon as I have a second test.

In Sharps words "AquoMotion 240 Technology improves fast moving images by combining Sharp's 120Hz Fine Motion Enhanced Technology with 120-backlight scanning. Fine Motion Advanced processing creates and inserts 60 unique frames a second, which smoothes out edges that occur between frames in the original footage. The backlight scanning works with the panel refresh rate to further reduce perceived motion blur and improve overall clarity and picture quality."

Summary: A clear and vibrant pictures seems that you are in the image. The colors are excellent and blacks are "blacks". I highly recommend this 3D TV.

Sharp Quattron LC60LE835U 60-Inch 1080p 3D LED LCD TV

I bought this TV from the TV through Amazon for Paul earlier this month. This TV is beautiful. It also incredibly thin, which is great for wall mounting. I bought a pair of 3D glasses on ebay Sharp. I have a HTPC connected to a TV with a video card GT430. I've seen "Resident Evil Afterlife" 3D Blu-ray. It was breathtaking. I have not tested the HDTV tuner that I have no OTA antenna connection in the room where the TV is at this time. I have not even tried the DLNA.

Pros :
The picture is very bright and just amazing. Much better than other manufacturers like Sony and Vizio. This is a really nice size for a large room When watching 1080p/60Hz sources, the picture is incredibly smooth. The 240 Hz refresh rate is absolutely amazing. I may have to watch this TV more even though the screen is only 1/4" of the size of my projection screen.
The wifi really works well. I have it working with wireless N on the 5 GHz band connected to a Cisco E3000 router about 50ft away. I can stream movies/previews from Vudu at the maximum quality, over 9 Mbit/s sustained. This may seem little compared to the 300 Mbit/s theoretical of wireless N, but it is actually impressive that there are no dropouts. The price was excellent. It was the same as the 832 model at Costco which is not 3D. I see that it has now gone up by over $500 since I purchased it. It has a lot of inputs - 4 HDMI, 1 component, 1 VGA

Cons :
3D picture is dimmer than 2D. And you can't watch the picture lying down with the 3D glasses, the polarization dims the picture too much. The built-in sound is weak. But that's expected on all TVs. You just have to pair the TV with a separate audio system. I couldn't get the HDMI Audio Return Channel feature to work with the Onkyo HT-S5300 HTIB. It could be due to the receiver and not the TV, though the TV manual says this feature only works with other Sharp Aquoslink equipment.

Countertop Microwave Ovens - microwave, convection


Click here for more information
Given the tremendous functionality, and especially for the price, I cannot in good conscience give this oven less than 5 full stars. However, that is definitely not to imply that it is perfect. Nothing is, and this is no exception. So, while others here have done a fine job of highlighting the positive aspects (which is in fact why I bought one, too), I will try to provide a more balanced perspective. First, though, a quick re-cap of those highlights. Yes, this oven really does do the job of three: a conventional microwave, a convection unit, and a toaster oven. In fact, that does not do it justice because it does even more than that. You cannot, for example, grill a burger in any of those types, but you can in this. Especially for a small kitchen, this is phenomenally useful. In just a couple of weeks, I've already become reliant on its non-microwave functions for a variety of things, from roast chicken to frozen French fries, both of which come out better than in my conventional oven and in much less than half the time. And cleanup has not been an issue.



Still, there are flaws. Others have noted the wobbly turntable and difficult to read LCD display, and this is true - but I think there are more serious ones. I'll start with build quality since that was the first one I encountered. I've unfortunately had a chance to explore this in-depth, thanks to a broken fan assembly in mine. This was not shipping damage, either, but a manufacturing defect. In checking out the problem, I was able to examine things on the inside, it was clear that the unit is built to a very tight price point. There is an abundance of crimped sheet metal, a minimum number of screws, and cheap plastic snap-ins securing (barely) too many of the vital components. I'll also note that Consumer Reports has been reporting failure rates for Sharp built-in microwaves (the only variety they track reliability in) many times that of the other brands. That said, this unit replaced a Sharp countertop microwave which was still going strong at 13 years. Another weak point - this time of the design - is the ratio of exterior to interior space. In other words, the cavity is quite small for the amount of space the oven takes up, even compared to other convection units. In fact, my counter can just barely accommodate its depth. This is likely partially the result of its `economical' design. Also related to that, no doubt, is the omission of a doneness sensor, which I would expect on any microwave at this price, convection or not. This sensor is what allows a microwave to automatically reheat dishes, and shut off when it detects, through the amount of steam given off, that a dish is done heating. Instead, we are given reheat presets, which are never adequate (unless maybe you weigh your food first and configure it just right on the plate).



However, not all the preset programs are useless. In fact, much to my surprise, some are invaluable. I expected that all the co-called `Compu-` settings were simple time presets, but this is not the case. Many of these are fairly complex cooking routines, sometimes involving all three methods in various sequences. For example, the Compu-Roast 1 program will cook a darn good roast chicken automatically, using microwave, convection, and even the upper grill for browning near the end. The hamburger Compu-Grill program works similarly well, though I believe with just the 2 grills. (It is not always possible to tell what cooking mode is being used). These programs make it simple for even a mediocre cook like myself to begin using the oven instantly and with good results. And it prevents it from becoming merely an overpriced microwave (like my mother's KitchenAid has: it has convection and an upper grill, too, but no programs, so they remain unused after 2 years). Nonetheless, the presence of such helpful programs does not preclude it having a doneness sensor which is virtually a standard feature these days. Ideally, it would also have a linear power supply like the Panasonics do, allowing truly low-power microwaving, rather than simply cycling full power on and off to simulate low power operation. But not many other manufacturers do this, and that may be expecting too much. Finally, beware that this oven will draw more current than a comparably-sized microwave-only unit: up to 13 amps. This can tax a typical 15 amp household circuit if anything else is plugged in. Add a toaster, for example, and you will trip a breaker (I have).



To summarize, while the build quality is a concern, very few ovens I am aware of offer as much functionality to bake, roast, microwave and grill - and fewer still offer preset programs making all that flexibility readily accessible. None do it for so low a price. In fact, of the few other countertop convection microwaves I could find, nearly all were over three hundred dollars actual selling price. That makes this unique oven a bargain in several ways.

Unhappy Customer - knife, folding knife


Click here for more information
COMMENT:

When I read the Product Descriptions and Reviews of knives being sold here on Amazon, a lot of times it makes me laugh because they are so full of misinformation. I guess this is because the sellers and reviewers are not knife dealers and don't know that much about knives in general. But hey, that's ok, because everybody is entitled to their opinion. When rating a knife, I don't try to compare a $10.00 knife with a $100.00 knife. This is a good knife for the money and is all metal construction with aluminum handles. I found this knife was sharp enough to slice strips off of a sheet of paper.



DESCRIPTION:

Mtech Tactical style linerlock pocket folder

Model # MT-378

Import



DETAILS:

This is a linerlock folding knife. 4 1/2" closed. 3 1/4" stainless steel, plain edge tanto blade, with dual thumb studs open and a black finish. There is blade detent in the closed position. Black anodized aluminum handles with a brushed texture, and dual stainless steel liners. The handle has small and large grooves in various places for grip. This knife features a post / spacer open back design. Blade tension adjustment screw is spanner. Black stainless steel pocket clip that is folded for deep pocket carry. Length open is 7 3/4" & weight is 4.6 oz.

I purchased this knife to use at work and I am very impressed with the quality. very cheap compared to most other knives that I looked at. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable yet affordable tool.

My knife was delivered VERY quickly, and functions near perfect. The only problem is, the screws holding the handle together have become loose, and one has fallen out. This was fixed with a small screwdriver but could pose problems for other customers.

this knife is great, especially for the price. it is a relatively simple design, yet it holds up nicely. i really like the tanto style blade. as others have stated in their reviews, it is a good idea to get some locktite or oil the screws.

I own two of these knives and both have fallen apart within 2 months of purchase. The knife has a good weight, the blade is sharp, and it looks cool. But the screw system used to hold the blade in (spanner) is terrible. The screw comes loose after a few times of opening and closing the blade and most people won't have the specialty tool required to tighten it. Save the hassle and avoid this knife and spend a little more to get something that won't fall apart during normal use.

Razor sharp out of the box, good weight and balance, opens really quick. Basically, if you have 10 bucks and you could do to have a knife, BUY THIS ONE! If I didn't know better, I'd compare it to Gerber, etc.

I was going to purchase a more expensive knife, but didn't need anything fancy and figured I'd try cheap and expendable first. This has actually held up far better than expected for the price and the abuse I've put it through in Iraq. The simple liner lock and thumb stud opening work well and feel solid. The blade arrives a bit rough though and I would highly suggest sharpening it out of the box. Other than that, buy two as you won't be disappointed.



Update: 31 October



I reached for this knife the other day and it literally fell apart in my hands. The screws holding it together vanished and I wound up tossing the remnants. Additionally, over the preceding month the blade would continuously become wobbly due to the screw holding it together coming loose. I'm not sure what tool would be used to tighten this - I used another knife myself. If you have the proper tools, I'd suggest taking it apart and using some lock-tight as others have recommended. It's just more than I care to deal with for a cheap knife and I'll order from a quality brand next time around. Still, all in all it isn't a bad deal for the money. - Knife - Folding Knife - Folding Knives - Sharp
