Enjoy the elegant design and smart style of Sharp's 27" flat picture tube color television with the X-Flat cabinet design and double baffle speakers. Add advanced features such as a 2-line digital comb filter, contrast enhancer and VMS (Velocity Modulation Scan), and you have a product that performs every bit as good as it looks. A universal glow remote with DVD control and complete set of jacks including component and S-video inputs round out your home entertainment package.
The Sharp 27-F543 is a 27-inch flat-screen TV with inputs for DVD players, VCRs, game consoles, or camcorders. It has a two-line digital comb filter, which separates the color signal from the black-and-white signal to reduce noise and artifacts, resulting in higher picture quality. With MTS (multichannel TV sound) stereo and SAP (second audio program), the 27-F543 can receive and decode stereo and SAP wherever they are available.

The EZ Setup feature is activated the first time the television is turned on, and will automatically prompt you to attach the cable or antenna and start the initial channel setup with the touch of just one button. The built-in V-Chip is an electronic blocking device that lets parents control the programming to prevent children from viewing questionable programs. Using the onscreen display and ratings system, you can screen programs according to age and content.

Features include color temperature control, tone control, sleep timer, closed captioning, and VMS (velocity modulation scanning), which increases the refresh rate of an image, yielding a brighter and more accurate picture.

You get three composite-video inputs: two on the rear and one on the front for convenient hookup to your favorite gaming console or camcorder. The remaining rear composite-video inputs can accommodate any DVD player or video source. There is a rear S-video input and component-video input, as well. Also included is a universal light-up remote with DVD control (2 AAA batteries included).

1 Good, not great...
You can find this tv at Costco for $250, which is an incredible price for a tv of this caliber... BUT, beware, unlike mentioned before, the quality is nowhere near HD, but if you're looking for a cheap, decent, "big" tv, then look no further. I'm pleased with mine except for the fact that it isn't HD ready, which I knew when I bought it, so that's my fault. If you are going to be watching a lot of DVD's as opposed to cable tv, then this tv is perfect; no matter if you have the color temperature setting at low or high.
2 ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
The previous reviewer with the bad picture quality, etc. simply MUST have gotten a bad unit, because ours is absolutely FANTASTIC.

The picture approaches HDTV in clarity and resolution, the color purity, saturation, and subtle beauty is stellar and the component video signal in is nothing short of a revelation, only limited by it's standard-def resolution.

Reflection side-to-side is MINIMAL. Film grain is often evident, for example, even though this is standard-definition.

I would easily go so far as to say that this unit pushes standard-definition resolution to it's absolute max in terms of performance and all other metrics above.

You honestly owe yourself a good, in-person demo of this unit, it is stellar.

If this TV ever broke, I'd absolutely buy it again.
3 This is a Costco dud
This Sharp TV is NOT sharp! Cheap, but you do get what you pay for. We were told at Costco that "Don't worry, this isn't a discontinued model or anything like that". Baloney. That's just what it is. The picture is marginal at best. Do yourself a big favor and spend a few more dollars to upgrade!

Quote of the Day:


They don't know how the world is shaped.  And so they give it a shape, and

try to make everything fit it. They separate the right from the left, the
man from the woman, the plant from the animal, the sun from the moon. They
only want to count to two.
-- Emma Bull, "Bone Dance"

I was in a bar and I walked up to a beautiful woman and said, "Do you live
around here often?" She said, "You're wearing two different-color socks."
I said, "Yes, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness."
She said, "How do you feel?" And I said, "You know when you're sitting on a
chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs and you lean too far so
you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like
that all the time..."
