 Worst TV mistake I made October 8, 2009
A. Collier (Brooklyn, NY USA)
Have had this set for about two years. The sound quality is horrible. I have to turn it up to the highest level most of the time and still can't hear everything especially if there is any thing else going on. What's the point of having the TV if you can't hear it while you are on an exercise machine or my son is playing on the floor.
Now, the picture turns off for no reason. The screen just goes black like you have turned it off. Not gray, black. Sometimes, it returns to normal after you switch the TV off and on about five times. The sound still stays on though. It drives my 3-year old son crazy especially if he is watching his favorite show.
Whatever you do, spend your money on something else. This TV is not worth the headache. Now if I can just remember if I had gotten the extended warranty.
 Major defect on this model October 13, 2008

After six months of ownership, this TV began turning itself on randomly. The main circuit board was replaced. The TV still turns itself on. (However, the sound is now improved significantly!) We expect to have the TV replaced. No one seems to know why it turns itself on. The circuit board took four months to be delivered after the initial complaint. We were told the part was backordered. Maybe our complaint is a common one?
 What Audio Problem? August 6, 2008

I bought this set to hang on the kitchen wall. The convenience of a combined DVD was a major factor in the purchase decision. I'd read the reports criticizing the audio but decided to take a chance and buy it anyway - and I'm glad I did. The audio seems OK to me. Half-volume at 13' away across the other side of the kitchen is more than adequate. Audio quality is also fine. Anywhere near full volume is way too loud. I really don't know what the complaints are about - volume? audio quality? or both? The picture quality is also superb as is often the case with Sharp and the DVD is so user-friendly it's a pleasure to use.
 Big dissappointment! June 28, 2008

This review is not for this model exactly but the LC-26AD22U which is the equivalent (I think) in the Aquos line. This is my seventh flat screen (LCD or plasma) that I have purchased and the 3 stars are for the picture quality, I took off 2 stars for the poor audio quality. After reading other reviews- I thought - that others might be asking too much from the audio section of a TV that for most it was not going to be the main TV (I bought it for my daughter's room), How bad could it be? .. well, this HDTV has (so far) the worst audio section of any TV I have owned (I have/had Samsung, Hitachi, Sylvania, Dynex, Westinghouse) It is incredible low, thin and "flat" sounding (words of my daughter and spouse). So my advice to others is that if you don't care about the audio quality because you will hook it to an audio system then go for it but if this is a stand alone HDTV and you want a good sounding one then you better skip the brand completely (and least in this size) and check others. I sincerely don't recommend it and I am going to return this one. Thanks for your attention.
Cheap, easy sound workaround; Sharp LC-26DV22U May 14, 2008

Sharp LC26DV22U 26-inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player I too was disgusted with the poor quality/quantity of sound from my new Sharp LC26DV22U TV. So, I pulled the back cover off the set and installed a female 1/8 inch stereo phone jack (Radio Shack part number; 274-0246). I wired it directly to the TV's speakers using bell-wire (from an old telephone cord). Then simply plugged in a PC sound system I had laying around. It works wonderfully and it was easy to do. Just use the wire diagram on the phone jack package and connect to the marked terminals on each speaker of the set. I didn't disconnect the set's speakers, so the TV will still work with or without the PC speaker system plugged in.
