Good picture, poor sound, quality issues.

By TJHennessey (cnet.com) Read the full review

TV turns off and will not come back on. Power light is flashing, which indicates a problem. Was able to reset, but turned off again after a few seconds.

Good Picture

Sound is very poor. Will not stay powered up

An absolutely beautiful 1080p television, amazing value

By shdowflare (cnet.com) Read the full review

Overall, I am VERY happy with my decision to purchase this television 14 months ago. I really bought it because it was the only 65" flat panel 1080p HDTV that I could find below $4000. I was upgrading from a 60" Sony Grand Wega KDFE60A20 1080i...

Stunningly clear, bright, and vivid HD picture ; Blu-Ray content looks absolutely incredible ; HUGE size makes it like a theater screen in your living room ; Very thin and fits well almost anywhere, including on a wall

Known issues with main board and power board ; Low-quality SD content looks grainy(screen too large), average-quality SD is decent ; Uses lots of power (add $12/month to your electric bill) ; Gets extremely hot (not a big deal if you need a heater)

Sharp Aquos LC-65D64U

By Robert Heron (pcmag.com)

Award: Editor's Choice!

The once-mighty rear-projection television (RPTV) is poised to become a footnote in history, but its demise won't be complete until the hugely popular flat-panel designs can match the value that RPTVs offer for the largest screens. The 65-inch Sharp...

Good value. Excellent detail with HD video sources. Large screen size.

Inefficient default settings. Picture not as detailed as on some 120- or 240-Hz LCDs.

If you want the best value for one of the largest 1080p LCD screens currently available, the Sharp LC-65D64U is the set to beat.

Sharp's mega-size LC65D64U may seem like a costly alternative to similar-size RPTVs, but its picture quality can outperform any RPTV in several critical areas.

Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U LCD HDTV Review - Intro

By Richard Baguley (televisioninfo.com)

The Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U is an entry level LCD television that offers the typical mix of good and bad that you would expect from an entry level television. On the plus side it's a thin HDTV, but it lacks any styling and the remote is just terrible....

The Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U is a television that makes a lot of concessions in order to achieve its reasonable price, and in our opinion makes too many. In particular it struggles producing an array of greys and accurate colors. Motion was also jerky and...

The question, of course, is whether it's a good value. Section

Sharp LC-46D64U

By Rick Broida (wired.com)

Did we miss a press release? Did Sharp join with the producers of Lost to create a new mystery? Because when we watched the show on this 46-inch LCD, we noticed

Slim design and glossy black bezel really class up the joint. Plenty of inputs, including three HDMI 1.3, and the switchin’ is fast and easy. Novice-friendly menus. Backlit remote doesn't overwhelm with buttons

Pushes some colors way too hard. Standard-def images look craptacular, while other sources show tons of noise. Remote is unnecessarily ginormous. Sunken, vertically oriented rear analog inputs virtually impossible to reach

Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U 46-Inch LCD HDTV

By (pcworld.com)

Good design and image quality make this set a viable option, but it's pricey given its lack of extras.

Good sound ; Auto shutoff

Not adjustable ; Average specifications

Printed on a grayish paper that doesn't do much for its readability, the trilingual manual (66 pages of English) is helpful despite its text-heavy design. And you can always download the PDF version from Sharp's Web site

Sharp AQUOS LC-52D64U review

By (cnet.com)

Excellent black levels for an LCD TV; deinterlaced 1080i material properly; solid connectivity with 3 HDMI inputs; classy styling with thin frame around the screen and slim depth

Relatively expensive; uneven uniformity manifests as irregular bands across screen; color becomes bluer in darker areas; lacks picture-in-picture

We loved the Sharp LC-52D64U's slim style and solid black-level performance, but we didn't like its less-than-uniform screen.
