Anyhow, how often do you repair folks see Sharp TVs in for repair when
they've failed on their own (Not lightning, physical damage, etc).

Not often. Many Sharp sets usually come in for problems caused by cold solder
joints, which happens to any television set. When the bad joints are located
and fixed, the set usually works again. Other than that, it's hard to think up
a situation where a Sharp set failed due to a defect that developed on its own.


Others here may be able to relate their experiences, but so far, I've been
impressed with Sharp as well. - Reinhart
