Sharp Aquos LC-52XS1U-S LCD HDTV First Impressions Review - Intro

The LC-52XS1U-S is a 54-inch LCD that most people will never be able to afford. The TV is priced at $12,000, which means that, as great as it is, there's really no way it could be adopted by mainstream purchasers. Chances are there's also a few TVs out...

The LC-52XS1U-S is an absurdly attractive TV. It is also absurdly expensive; prohibitively so. It's really a shame too, since if it were priced just a few hundred dollars above most TVs its size, it'd be a great deal. At $12,000, no typical consumer...

Sharp Aquos Limited Edition LC-52XS1U-S

An LCD HDTV's ability to produce richly saturated colors largely depends on the quality of its backlight module. LCD backlights continue to improve, transitioning from spectrum-limited fluorescents to wide-gamut varieties. And now, light-emitting...

Excellent picture contrast and HD detail. Energy efficient

Very expensive. Requires professional setup. Overly colorful picture

Sharp's flagship LC-52XS1U-S is like a cool science experiment gone awry.

Less than two years after I accompanied a group of American journalists on a visit to a new Sharp factory, the company has developed yet another new plant. This one can support an even larger mother glass. On that same visit, we also witnessed examples...

Stunning Display both On and Off

I'm very happy with my purchase. I wanted something truly unique and didn't want to buy a run of the mill Samsung or LG panels most commonly found today. The metal bezel and external soundbar give this piece a striking look in my living room which is...

Sharp LC-52XS1U-S - 52" Aquos Limited Edition LCD

I bought this set on more of a compulsion than anything. I rarely do that, but for some reason did w/ this set. Biggest reason being is I have a 37" SHARP Aquos LCDHD that I love and an older model 26" SHARP LCDHD that is still running and has a great...

nothing less than a cinema screen

When I first saw this TV on internet, I wondered why was a TV with a retail price of $10,900 being sold at such a price. I took the risk believed in Sharp and bought it. It has been a year now and I have enjoyed every moment I have watched it, even...

Stuff magazine

Sharp's flagship packs an enormous amount of tech into its slim, beautifully finished chassis – but it also costs more than a car. A half-decent one, at that…

One of the very best for picture and sound quality, but only oligarchs can afford it
