Take care of LC40E67U Sharp

Beware: Bad Digital Tuner 
. We just returned our 2nd one of these and will now be going with a Samsung for the same price. We receive over-the-air programming and the T.V. would turn off (green light was still on though) randomly for about 1 to 2 minutes and then turn back on. During this time you just have to wait. You can not change channels or switch inputs..nothing..dead. This would only happen when the T.V. was doing the digital tuning. We ran the antenna through a separate digital converter box and had no issues. Also, never had this issue with any of the other inputs that we connected to with the DVD player, game systems etc.
Sharp denies knowing about this issue and their only resolution was to have someone come out and pull the motherboard for an “undetermined” amount of time. I assumed that we had just received a bad unit, so Amazon exchanged Sharp LC40E67U for us, but the second was even worse, happening up to 3 times in 30 minutes. Sorry Sharp, but after spending $1000+ we are not waiting around an “undetermined” amount of time for our first HDTV to work correctly.
I agree with the other positive reviewers of this T.V. and had we not had this issue we would be very happy with the Sharp. I think that most owners of this model are not aware of this issue because they are using cable or satellite boxes that perform the digital conversion.
The Samsung 550 cannot come fast enough, as we have a 13″ CRT T.V. (yes 13″ & yes you can laugh) where our Sharp 46″ HDTV should be.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the Amazon customer support. Despite all the negativity towards CEVA shipping that I read in reviews, my experience with them has been great as well.
Great Value!. I purchased this tv from Amazon on a Sunday evening and Sharp LC40E67U arrived on Wednesday afternoon by Ceva Logistics. The package was in perfect condition. The television has a very good picture with true colors and the sound quality is pretty respectable when compared to many other flat-panel t.v.’s. This same t.v. is sold at my local Wal-mart, but I was able to get a better price with Amazon, since there was no sales tax. Shipping was free. A signature is required upon delivery because of the value. I would recommend this t.v. for anyone wanting a quality picture on a budget.
Very satisfied with new Sharp Aquos TV. Good picture and fairly easy to understand. Very good quality for price. Would recommend Sharp LC40E67U highly.
