Sharp Aquos LCD TV screen problem?

Question

I just got a 42inch LCD Sharp Aquos LCD TV from Dell. I have had it connect to my Wii, VCR, DVD player, and IO HD Cable box for a month or so. Yesterday I was moving my TV and setting up the progressive scan on my DVD player. I set the DVD player to progressive and played a DVD. I was fine. I then moved my tv back into place and turned it off.

When I got back home and turned on the TV the screen was snowy, like the cable had no signal. I checked my connections and they were all fine. I turned off the TV and then back on. You then could see the cable picture but it was still snowy in front of it. I then got nervous, thinking I FUNKED my TV and unplugged it for a minute. When I plugged it in it worked 100%.

DId I momentarily through off the TV picture and it will be fine going forward or is my TV FUNKED up? It cost me $1365 total, so if it is a bad unit the Sharp HQ is 10 minutes from my home in NJ. Thanks.

You tv was looking for the dvd signal and when it had nothing it went to snow.  My Sony goes from the blue waiting screen to black after a while if I forget to turn on the cable box.  Like you, turning on and off resets it.  In your case it over-rode the dvd signal in and came back to the main antenna signal.
