Sharp AQUOS LC-52D62U

Pros: Great picture quality, multiple inputs make this the best in its class.

Cons: Funny remote and no DVI input - small price to pay for quality.

The Bottom Line: This is easily the best tv compared to the few other LCDs available at the time. Great looks, clear picture, and very minor problems are well worth the quality.

Review: When I set out to purchase a new television, I had no idea just how much work it would entail. I knew for sure that I wanted to replace my 32-inch Sony Trinitron with a flat-panel which supports 1920x1080p. I knew that I wanted to plug in my Mac Mini to ...

Pros: Exceptional HD picture quality, reputable brand, 52" size

Cons: Not enough television stations broadcasting in HD yet, no PC input (most brands have this)

The Bottom Line: The Sharp brand has a solid reputation and the picture quality is superior.

Review: We had been researching and looking for a 50" large screen t.v. for the past six months and came very close to buying a plasma. After all, the continued price drops and far lower cost over the other competing technologies (LCD, DLP) seemed the best ...

Pros: best picture, rivals Sony XBR for half the price stunning 1080i picture

Cons: decrepid remote control Volume could be better

The Bottom Line: Look no further, the lcd tv to buy.

Review: I've had this T.V. now for over a month. It was purchased from costco with a different model number, so retail stores don't have to price match. First off for the haters, I think the previous poster is on to something. I think the banding issue is ...

Pros: Game console friendly. Longer expected life span. Lower power consumption. FAST refresh rate. 1080p support.

Cons: Only 2 HDMI plugs. Picture quality is so high that broadcast technology hasn't caught up.

The Bottom Line: Great TV for the price. It offers long term durability and crystal clear picture quality. It's great for games and movies. Not for the casual TV enthusiast though.

Review: I've read everyone's reviews of this TV and done my own bit of research prior to buying one. First off let me say this is by far one of the better TVs on the market, probably one of the best if you're looking for an LCD. It's game system friendly, BIG, ...

Pros: Great color. Screen size is dramatic and great for all sports.

Cons: Unfounded fear of banding and pixel mutiny. None so far (one week later).

Review: After searching for a large screen HDTV, I narrowed to plasma or lcd. I ruled out plasma due to window reflection. LCD's were narrowed further due to the extreme cost of Sony for the same size screen. I was intimidated by a few reviews which wrote of ...

Pros: Excellent picture, black levels, decent price for size, good support and commitment from Sharp

Cons: Banding potential, remote, viewing angle, only 2 HDMI inputs, no DVI input

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a large flat-panel for general use in various lighting conditions, but want great quality and support, this is definitely one to consider.

Review: There has been a LOT written about the severe banding issues with this set and its siblings, and some people have experienced SERIOUS banding visible during most viewing. The set I picked up with a 11/06 manufacture date has banding - if I'm looking at ...

Pros: A good buy

Cons: Slow remote

Review: We have been very pleased with our 52D62U. Have had it for two months with no problems. My only complains are that the remote is too slow and although we have a cable box we are getting a lot of digital and HD channels thought the analog cable. The ...

Pros: Great picture and color!

Cons: Banding is very noticeable!!!

Review: Besides the great picture this LCD has to offer, I'm not recommending this TV to anyone. Sure it's really nice but disappointed me real quick. The one I purchased had really bad banding on it. I was watching lady in the water HD-DVD and the banding was ...

Pros: price

Cons: unacceptable banding seems widespread

Review: I've been shopping for a 50 inch tv and came upon the Sharp 52 inch at Best Buy. The price was good and I was getting excited that I may have found a good deal on a big set. I instantly noticed thin horizontal lines banding and easily seen in whites. ...

Pros: Great picture, great black levels (if not-defective)

Cons: banding, banding, and more banding

Review: I have now gone through three of these 52" sets. Every one of them has had dark thick vertical bands (about 5") and dark thin horizontal bands (about 1") in the picture. While the banding patterns on each of the 3 sets was slightly different in each ...
