Sharp Aquos LC52D64U 52-inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Looking at all the research, I felt that we needed a 120 hz LCD TV.
Finally we deceided to buy the 4 mS respons time Sharp and are very happy with the unit. Brightness is great even in a well lit room. Viewing angle is everything we hoped for. Fasy action sports is a pleasure to watch. All in all a great product at a great price from Amazon

Not a lot to add over other reviews, except to say we've had this set for around 18 months now with no issues at all and superb 1080 experience. The LCD screen being much less reflective than our previous plasma screen has been a revelation. You'll never want to watch 480-vision again!

I did some extensive research before buying this 52" Sharp Aquos LC52D64U. I almost bought the LC52D82U, but after reading a review on Amazon that pointed out some of the deficiencies of the 82U model over the newer 64U model, I decided that was the one to get. I already had a 32" Sharp LCD, not an Aquos model and was pleased with the looks and picture, I was not pleased with the sound output on the 32", it lacked real 'punch' at the high end. and that only goes to '60', whatever that means. the 32" advertises a 10W output on each audio channel. So when I saw the specs for the 52" and it showed 15W per channel I assumed with the larger output that would take care of the problem of too low a volume like the 32" WRONG! The 52" has the same problem with volume as the 32". For some reason the actual volume of the set from a setting of 35 to 60 couldn't be 1 or 2 decibels. Being very pleased with the picture quality and the arrangement of the outputs I decided to take the Audio Output to my Bose Acoustic Wave machine and that solved the problem of weak and muddled audio. Now in fairness to the Sharp, my wife has no problems in hearing the sharp but I am a little hard of hearing and like the louder volume range, which Sharp seems to have a problem achieving. I do like the smaller profile being a little smaller than the 82U and 25% thinner works for me. High Definiion channels look awesome and HD-DVD likewise, but now I have to think, 'Blu Ray'. It's always something.

After researching HDTVs online and in stores, we settled on this 52" Sharp HDTV. Glad we did. Sharp colors and great sound. We haven't seen any of the issues others have written about. Plenty of inputs so I can connect my Tivo, DVD system, Playstation and Comcast digital cable box. I still have room to connect a blu-ray player if I buy one.

The Amazon price was by far the cheapest we could find online or in stores (Best Buy, Circuit City). Shipping only took 5 days and the delivery company called to arrange delivery. They called again to give me notice they were coming, moved my old picture tube TV from the stand, set up the Sharp HDTV and made sure it worked.

I was a bit nervous ordering an expensive HDTV online, but it turned out to be a great experience.

I've had the Sharp 52" for several weeks now and we love it. Awesome picture quality, and it's REALLY big. I like the extra thin screen but was disappointed that the wall mount brackets are as thick as the TV; kinda spoils the effect. In the end we chose not to use the wall mount because of that and instead use the stand on a table.
I specifically chose this model because of the thinness and the non-glare screen. We use it in a family room with many windows and lots of sunlight, so I've been pleasantly surprised that it has almost no glare off the screen and looks great even in the middle of the day.
No issues with it at all. Highly recommended, especially if you have a room with lots of sunlight and windows.
