Picture on New Sharp Aquos LED TV

I took delivery on a SHARP LC-60LE755U AQUOS LED TV yesterday. I love the picture - when I'm right in front of it. The picture quality dramatically declines as you move away and to an angle from it. Is this how all LED TV's are? My old TV is an LCD and it doesn't have that issue. I thought modern technology had eliminated this. Any thoughts?

This is a problem with LCD TV's, however different types of LCD screens handle off angle viewing more effectively than others. There's a good summary here:

OLED will help resolve this, but at a steep price. Currently the only reasonably priced way to avoid issues with off angle viewing at this point is with plasma TV's.

70" Aquos LED, Serious motion-blur problems. Help

I have a LC70LE732U 70" Sharp Aquos LED HDTV, and I can't help but notice the serious motion-blur. When watching fast-paced movement (such as a baseball soaring through the air), the blur/lag is incredible. Is there any specific reason as to why this happens on this extremely expensive and so-called "high quality" television? If so, are there any settings that I can set my TV to in order to rid of this highly noticable problem? Thanks.

All signals, broadcast and recorded (DVD, BLu-ray, etc) are 60 Hz. No amount of doubling, tripling, etc, will get rid of it. If you have turned on Smooth-motion, and still get the lag, you'll just have to live with it. Since the original sighanl is recorded, encoded and broadcast at 60Hz, the lag will be there.

I have a Sharp Aquos lc-40e67un that and new Apple TV. It doesn't show an input plugged into any HDMI port I try to use.

I have a Sharp Aquos lc-40e67 television that is 5-6 years oldthat and a brand new Apple TV that doesn't show up as an input in any HDMI plug I hook it to. Is my television too old to use the Apple TV technology?

I checked all power connections first, then tried every available HDMI port on the tv. There was nothing showing on the input page that indicated anything new was available.
I'm not sure how to update firmware, inasmuch as I can't get the device onscreen to see any options.
I tried everything I could think of, including scouring the net for information before I posted my question here for help. Perhaps my 6 year old Sharp just predates any ability to use such hardware.

Using a DVI HDMI cable with my Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 1080p

Hello
I have a Mac Mini Intel proc with 4GB RAM (max RAM).
I'm trying to get it to work with my Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 52" TV. The TV supports 1080p native, and the mini has had no issues connecting to this TV before. I just re-installed 10.6 (with all updates) and it does not want to connect.
I have a direct DVI > HDMI cable going from the Mini directly to the back of the TV. I tested other devices on that TV input and the TV works fine. I'm also convinced that the cable is fine as it worked before the re-install of the system.
I can see the Mac Mini using screen sharing on my Mac Pro, so I can make changes to the configuration over the network. The screen settings on the Mini are set to "1080p (Television)" just like they were when it all worked fine. But the TV screen is black. No picture at all.
What can I do about this?
Thanks,

Hello Mac Mini world. I tried to connect my new Mac Mini to a 2 year old 32" Insignia Flat Screen HDTV through HDMI for hours however there was always part of the screen cut off even after adjusting both the resolution ratio on TV and Mini. After 3 calls to Insignia TV and Apple Support nobody had a definitive solution for me and was mainly told to live with it! One person from Applecare did half heartedly suggest trying a VGA connection instead in spite of lower quality. I went to the MAC store and they were confused as were the people at Best Buy but I reluctantly bought the MINI VIDEO PORT CABLE + VGA CABLE at Best Buy and to my surprise IT WORKED AND LOOKS PERFECT and automatically adjusts to fit any setting of computer resolution LIKE MAGIC. I have never posted but this seemed like good info as I read through a lot of blogs yesterday trying to resolve this issue. AGAIN THE SOLUTION IS TO TRY THE VGA CONNECTION. -chuck

Unable to connect Macbook Pro to Sharp Aquos TV through thunderbolt HDMI

I have a brand-spanking new Macbook pro 15" Retina with Thunderbolt
A new moshi HDMI connector, and new MediaBridge hdmi cable connected to my Sharp Aquos TV and it's as if its not plugged in.
I've read a lot of helpful sites with instructions on how to do this and this just isn't working.
What am I doing wrong?

If you cannot use nslookup <PrinterIP> and get a name back, Bonjour (aka mDNS) is being blocked by the router.

Getting full 1080p to a Sharp Aquos 42'' HD LCD TV

Okay, I've been struggling and struggling with this one for a good month or two and I have pretty much use up all my lifelines except the apple forums
I have a Sharp Aquos 42'' LCD HDTV that is 1080p capable, and has 2 HDMI inputs. I have been using my 17'' Powerbook G4 via a DVI > HDMI cable and it works great EXCEPT that it is displaying the desktop with about an inch black border around the entire screen. I have heard of trying to tweak the timing settings within a program SwitchResX, and have read some other threads about other people successfully being able to get a 1080p full screen with their Sharp Aquos (45'') as well. I don't know the exact settings I need for my particular TV and I was hoping to get some answers here.
sincerly,
Alex

Now I have 1080p resolution on my 37"" which exactly matches the tv screen, whow what a fantastic picture. The solution is:
* Press "Wide modes" button on the remote control and select "Underscan" for the selected HDMI input source.
* Open the Mac preferences, select displays, in the sharp display select options, then check the overscan checkbox.
* Install SwitchResX and select a 1080 resolution without interlace.
Hope this works on a 42" Sharp lcd too.

Trouble using my sharp aquos as a display for my PB

I have a 1 GHz Powerbook G4 with 512 MB DDR SDRAM running Mac OS X 10.3.9. I have recently purchased a 32" sharp aquos LCD Television with the intent of being able to hook up my power book. The sharp instruction manual tells me to hook it up with a DVI cable (as well as a mini jack for sound). I purchased a mini dvi to dvi converter thingy and connected to the LCD (I have not used a mini jack since I thought that would only affect the sound and, for now, I just want the picture).
There is a compatability chart in the sharp manual that gives me three mac options; 1) 13" VGA, 2) 16" SVGA, 3) 19" XGA. I do not know what these are refering to so I chose the 13 " option. It tells me to adjust my resolution to 640x480, Horizontal Frequecy (which I cannot find) to 34.9 kHz and vertical frequency to 67 Hz.
Although my power book recognizes the sharp LCD, I get no image on the television. I called sharp customer service and, aside from verifieing that I was using the correct input channel, they couldnt help me.
I am about a millimeter from returning the television unless someone can help me!
Thanks.

I have the Sharp Aquos LC32D7U and have tried connecting my 15" PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz to it using a DVI cable. I don't think I got a cable with a mini DVI to DVI converter--the plug is the same on both ends and fits my PB and the Sharp LCD either way. Anyway, I'm having the same trouble as you. My PB recognizes the Sharp LCD as being connected, but the Sharp displays a black screen. The input info on the Sharp LCD screen shows "---X---" in the upper right corner where I'd expect some sort of connection information and below that "--Hz" as though nothing is connected. Incidentally the sound works fine through the Sharp using a stereo mini plug. I've tried adjusting all my monitor settings from resolution to Hz and have tried mirroring and not mirroring. Nothing works, although my PB clearly thinks it's displaying on the Sharp because, when mirroring is off, I cannot access the Sharp LCD video setup options since they're displayed on the Sharp LCD where I can't see them.
I wonder if it would be possible to use a DVI-HDMI adaptor and connect the PB to the HDMI input. Have you tried that? I'll be curious to hear how it works, or if you have any other ideas. It certainly is frustrating. If I come up with any solutions, I'll be sure to let you know.
I'm keeping my Aquos regardless of whether or not I get it to work with my PB, since it fits perfectly into a wall unit I'm housing it in and it's primarily used as a tv anyway.

Apple TV and 42 inches of Sharp Aquos goodness

Hello all:
I'm considering the purchase of an apple TV, but I'm hoping that someone can verify that it'll work on a Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U.
Also, I'm assuming that anything I purchase with iTunes will broadcast up to 1080i -- Is this correct?
Thanks everyone.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Intel Core Duo

FWIW, it is my opinion that outputting a 720p
at 1080i produces a lesser quality than outputting
it at 720p and letting the tv scale the picture.
I imagine this depends on the TV. As you point out, if the TV doesn't have a native resolution of at least 1080 lines, the image will have to be scaled twice. However, if it does have 1080 native resolution (as do the Sharp Aquos D62 models), this may not be necessary, so it becomes a question of which (if either) scaler is superior.
Interlaced to progressive conversion doesn't require any scaling, just a buffer to hold lines so they can be displayed twice. However, I think some progressive scan TV's attempt to improve on this with various motion adaptive interpolations -- not quite magic but potentially a subtle quality improvement in how well fast motion is rendered. (I do not know if the Sharp model has this feature.)
So my advice is to try both output formats & see which looks best to you.

Sharp AQUOS 32" LCD TV

We purchased a Sharp AQUOS 32" LCD TV, model # LC32D40U. The date purchased was June 15, 2006 at the Best Buy in Janesville, Wisconsin. We now reside in Old Town, ME. This TV was defective from the start, however, my husband was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma and went through a year of treatment, including a stem cell transplant. 10 days before his diagnosis we had an accepted offer on this home in Maine. So much has occurred that we never had a chance to get the TV in for repair. We dealt with it not working properly. It would go on, run for a while, then the screen would go black. I'd turn it off and tap it, then turn it back on and it would work for hours. It has progressively worsened to the point of no picture anymore. Can we do anything although it has been almost 3 years now? In these 3 years, we had to move to Maine, then my husband went through surgery, my brother is dying from colorectal cancer, my daughter in law just lost her parents in a serious auto accident, and so many other horrible things have occurred. Can someone help us with this? Thank you! BTW, we did take it into our local store, but I'm praying the outcome will be "no charge!" The young man that took our TV claimed he would do what he could for us. Very polite!!!

If your TV and Laptop both have the VGA socket on i.e it looks the same at both ends, then any VGA monitor cable will do the job, no need for any extras. Easiest thing is to do if possible is pinch a cable off sometning else to test. These cables are not a lot of money so don't be foolded into buying one of those super premium pro cables, it's really not necessary.
Audio wise you only have the headphone jack out on the laptop, and the tv probably has component in (RCA sockets) thats the norm anyway so you need to get a Phono to 3.5mm Stereo Jack lead of sufficint length.
something like this I'd imagine http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=31700&doy=18m8 (sorry its a uk site)
Or if you have a Stereo system especially a surround one then you can rig the audio to that which will be even better
You will need to check the back of the TV or the manual to confirm this. If you took the manual and possibly the laptop into any decent TV store they should be able to sort it out.

Connecting Mac Air with Sharp Aquos

I have the new Mac Book Air and I would like to know which cables to buy in order to connect it with my HDTV Sharp Aquos?
Thanks.

It depends on which model your have.
For video to use the HDMI input:

For audio:

Remote won't work when my Sharp Aquos TV is on.

Okay, so this is a bizarre problem and I'm not sure if my 17" MacBook Pro, my Apple Remote or my Sharp Aquos TV is to blame, but basically I can't control my computer with the remote once I turn on the TV. It took me forever, but I just figured out that it works fine every time the TV is off, but as soon as the TV is on, the computer refuses to respond to any signals from the remote control, so the TV appears to be the culprit. Anyone out there have any idea what's happening? Even better, know of a workaround? I'm currently using my laptop to play movies that I've rented off the iTunes store on my TV, and it's annoying to not have a working remote.
One more thing, the remote is paired to my computer. Could that be causing issues? I'm not sure exactly how the pairing works, but perhaps the TV is causing interference for the pairing?

Success!
Okay, so for anyone having this issue, the problem is the brightness sensor on the Sharp Aquos TV (could be an issue with other TVs that have brightness sensors as well, don't know). If you disable the brightness sensor (called "OPC" at the top of the Picture menu), then the Apple remote should work fine. Very strange. Glad I figured it out though. Hopefully this thread can help out someone else with the same problem.

I don't know how to interpret all this, but I am wondering if you can just find and quit the CPU hog? Be sure that "All Processes is selected at the top and that the bottom bar is set to CPU. Then scan down the CPU column and see what the hog is and quit it. Make note of what it is and if it's always the same thing.
You can check on when the launch daemons are scheduled to run the maintenance scripts. Finder>Macintosh HD>System>Library>LaunchDaemons>com.apple.periodic_daily.plist.
For weekly: com.apple.periodic_weekly.plist
for monthly: com.apple.periodic.monthly.plist
The daily should be set to run at 3:15 AM, the weekly for 3:15 AM on Saturday, and the Monthly for 5:30 AM on the first day of the month.
If the computer is on and awake, it will run the scripts then. If it is asleep, it will run them when it wakes up. There is a widget called "Maintidget" that you can install that will tell you when they were last run or allow you to run them manually.
Offhand, I don't think that this is a Maintenance script--I think it is something else getting launched and getting into some sort of a loop. If you can tell what it is from the CPU column of the Activity monitor and post back, that would be very helpful. I don't think I know enough about software to tell you how to fix it, but I imagine that there are others who can. But getting it identified for sure is the first step.
Good luck!

Impact damage on Sharp Aquos Screen

A remote was thrown and impacted the screen on my sharp aquos 60" tv. The screen went dark. Can this be repaired or is it ready for the trash man? What kind of cost is involved and is it cheaper to get a new one.
Thanks

Love the passion.

What cable/adapter do I need to connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV?

What cable/adapter do I need to connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV?
I want to watch videos on youtube or read articles on my laptop, and I want a cable/adapter that will hook up the Macbook to the TV and display the webpage that is on the laptop.

Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

OSX 10.9.1 Compatibility issue with Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B

I have Mac Mini's connected to the Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B touch screens and after updating to 10.9.1 am experiencing what appears to be a compatibility issue with the Sharp TPM driver and the OSX 10.9.1.
Everything works perfectly previously on 10.8.4 and 10.8.5. I did not test on 10.9.0 as I went straight to 10.9.1. Anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on resolution?

OK so perserverance seems to have helped here - i used the cmd R function on start up to get to the page where i can re install OS X Lion - Safari now working.
However i have Office 2011 for MAC and now Excel wont start so i will post on another thread for help with this
Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue
