Wall-mount installation includes securing mounting bracket to wall and attaching the TV. It does not include concealing wires within walls or custom in-wall wiring. After your purchase of the TV with installation, a professional installer will contact you to schedule the arrival time of the two-man installation crew. Expect the installer to inquire about the particulars of your installation plans; if electrical or other work is needed, you will need to arrange for that. The installers will secure the manufacturer-included mounting bracket to your frame or masonry wall, mount and secure your TV, and connect the TV to your
pre-existing exposed AC power supply using neat wire management. They will attach cables from your tuner source and other video inputs (up to 15 feet), integrate your TV with an existing home theater or audio system located in the same room, and program new universal-style remote(s). If you provide upgraded wires or accessories, they will work with those. All wires and cables will be dressed using wire ties and neatly routed to your TV. Wire clippings or any other debris caused by the installation will be cleaned up, and the TV box and packing materials will be removed from your home. Upon completion, the installers will review the installation with you to ensure your satisfaction. There is a one-year labor warranty on this installation.
Sharp's AQUOS LC-26GA5U Advanced Super View television makes LCD quality and flat-panel elegance better looking and more affordable than ever. The 26-inch widescreen set is picture-frame thin and its table stand detaches for efficient wall mounting (wall-mount brackets optional). With 1,366 x 768 native pixel resolution, the LC-26GA5U offers compatibility with high-definition video sources up to 720p. Two built-in speakers powered by 10 watts per channel render full-bodied stereo sound.
LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.
Sharp's proprietary Quick Shoot video circuit ensures a lightning-quick response time of less than 16 ms for smooth-as-silk video and gaming graphics. The LC-26GA5U's Advanced Super View/black TFT (thin-film-transistor) screen offers exceptionally wide (170- by 170-degree) viewing angles and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 800:1 for super-black blacks.
Its high brightness (450 cd/m2) ensures wide dynamic range for vivid colors, great depth, and realism. You can place it anywhere--near windows, doors, or other light sources--and its picture will remain vivid. And, with its 60,000-hour lamp life, the backlight life is long enough to give you viewing pleasure for many years.
Connections consist of 2 high-definition component-video inputs, 1 DVI-I (Digital Visual Interface-Integrated) input for your PC, 1 HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) input, 3 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, and 1 RF input (HDTV reception may require an antenna). An audio/video output (composite- and S-video with stereo analog audio) facilitates hookup with a surround receiver, DVR, VCR, or other destination.
DVI-I is a direct-digital DVI terminal capable of transmitting both analog and digital video data. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV or monitor. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

1 Very, very nice LCD for a bedroom.
In a nutshell, this LCD is a very nice LCD...if you have the optimum connection, which is HDMI, and you have an HDTV receiver (which is free from Comcast, my cableTV provider). Right off the box and after connecting to regular cable to it, it doesn't bring out the optimum reception. Actually, it looked pretty average and even looked like total crap on some channels until I got the HDTV receiver and saw what high definition TV is *supposed* to look like. You can still connect this TV to component video and get a nice reception, but nothing beats HDMI. Trust me, it's worth shelling out an expensive HDMI cable for this - there is a BIG difference from component video to HDMI - so I would definitely recommend that you connect it this way. Needless to say, the reception when the connection is through HDMI is immaculate and close to perfect!
2 Awesome TV with the Price Tag it carries
It is Awesome. I had it for a month now.. No problems.. Amazing extendibility. Connect to Game/DVD/PC (Yes with DVI doesn't say but it has). Amazing View angle.
I love Sharp Products. Not to mention amazing crystal clear sound. I even use this TV as audio system as my neighbours don't allow me to purchase Home theatre system. This one has Virtual Dolby too.
Don't get Cheapers ones. Get the best in Range.
