Description: The Sharp LC-52D92U is a 52-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $2,345.This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Made for those who want to enjoy an ultra-sharp picture from an ultra-thin TV.In general, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
