 Beautiful TV February 13, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
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.
Great TV January 15, 2008

First let me say I screwed up by going to the lowest priced website "fotoconnections" to buy my set. That was a nightmare and a rip off. The order was never processed and they tried to raise the price afterwards. Do not buy from them - read all the bad reviews!!
I cancelled and placed with Amazon.
The ordered was processed and delivered within the week.
This is my 2nd Sharp Aquos. My other one is a 42". Like other reviews, I did alot of research and found this to be a great TV. I saw the Sony and Sharp side by side and I just couldn't see paying an extra $1K for the Sony. The picture is crystal clear you will love it....
No Banding October 21, 2007

I was scared to purchase this TV because of complaints of banding in many end user reviews. But I saw those complaints primarily in the "D62" model reviews, and the price was too good to pass up (I saved over $1000 over Circuit City's price). I have had it two weeks now and have absolutely no banding issues at all, and the colors and blacks are as nice as these other reviewers say. Git yerself one of these bad boys today!
Great bang for the buck January 8, 2008

I can't describe the months of tortuous research I performed to prepare for this purchase. It boiled down to the Sharp Aquos 54 Series and Sony Bravia. They were both almost identical. The Bravia almost had me because they had the 120hz refresh rate and connectors all over the place. At the time of research, the aquos had the slower refresh and a disappointing lack of HDMI, PC connectors. Then out of no where, the 64 series Aquos released and had all if not more than the most current Bravia, and at $1,000 less. At this point it was a no brainer. Amazon delivered and set up the set in my living room and hauled away packing material at no extra charge...a nice treat. The set performed exactly at representated since. Colors are brilliant, black is black (and that is easy feat). I thought 52" was too big, but once set-up it is actually now the minimum size for my living room I would consider. Becareful not to buy too small, I almost made the mistake of getting the 48". I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Best TV I've ever owned January 7, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
We ordered this TV on December 10th and it delivered and up and running on December 18th, we could have had it delivered earlier, but our HDTV connection wasn't ready until the 18th.
This was one of the easiest online transactions I've ever had, far better than Ebay. The price was easily $500 less than I expected to pay. Amazon is great!
We chose this TV because it was thinner than the other sets we looked at, Sony and Samsung, and the picture was comparable. The set is connected to a DISH VIP722 DVR via an HDMI cable. I've tried both composite and HDMI and there was no noticeable difference so we went with the single cable HDMI connection.
The default picture setting was way too bright for our environment, probably set for a retail store, so we had to play around with the setup. The first thing I would recommend is to flip up the cover on the remote and use the A/V Mode button to test out different picture modes to see if one meets your needs. If you don't like any of them you can set it to user mode and put in your own adjustments. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=11852269#post11852269
has some settings you might want to start with.
The sound is far better than I expected and is really fine for most news and drama shows, but with such a big screen and High Def picture, many shows deserve a better sound system which will be my next big purchase.
On the downside, a lot of shows are still not in High Def and when a video shot in Standard Def is shown on a program broadcast in High Def we get an annoying flickering white and black line at the top of the screen, this is known as under scan . I'm trying to get this resolved with Sharp or DISH.
Overall this has completely changed the way we watch TV, it's much more like being in a theater than the old 27 inch TV.
