Product brief

Intro: The Sharp LC-65D64U is a 65-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $4,125.This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Noteworthy Features: Has a 65-inch screen size.This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Weaker Features: Has only a rear connector location.

Suitability: A liquid crystal display TV, suited for home entertainment as well as work place applications.In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: In general, this TV's price seems a bit steep, with respect to its features.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, read CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide.(2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition.

Receiving HDTV broadcast: The three common methods to receive HDTV broadcasts are via satellite-TV set-top box, cable system set-top box, and over-the-air reception from a digital HDTV broadcast station.

True HDTV: True HDTV programming is now available in three resolutions: 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

Tuner options: An HDTV-ready satellite or cable box will act as an outboard HDTV tuner for your digital TV set that lacks a built-in HD tuner.

Big - Beautiful - Crystal Clear Picture - Show Stopper

by bigdog418 on November 29, 2007

Pros: Big - Beautiful - Crystal Clear Picture - Show Stopper

Cons: None yet - but being a new product entry - I'm sure some cons will eventually rear their ugly heads.

Summary: Got it three weeks ago. I have mine mounted on the wall. This LCD is impressive to look at - whether turned on or off. This LCD is not for your 10 x 12 spare room - it needs the wide open spaces for one to fully appreciate its presence. HD cable channels are outstanding. HD-DVD playback is visually 3D crystal clear. Regular DVD playback is almost as good as the HD cable. (Of course - DVD playback is only as good as your HD-DVD / I'm using a Tosh XA2). Old VHS tapes - not so good if you have the inputs set for HDMI. Very grainy - and hard to watch - after viewing other options. This new design weighs 50lbs less than their previous 65" models and only 3.5" thick. The 4ms pixel refresh rate eliminates fast motion stutter and the banding problems previous Sharp models had - have been addressed. Blacks are sharp and defined. Plenty of easy to access on screen menu options for adjusting picture qulaity and virtually anything else you can imagine. Inputs and other adjustment features are conveniently located on the back - on the right side of the LCD. My room is brightly lit with lots of windows and recessed lighting. Screen glare is non existent. Can't rate this a ten yet - just because I only have it three weeks - but it's definitely a 9. As for the editor's comments on the price - it's right in line with other 65" competitive models - and in most cases - less. 42" models can be had for under $1,500 and in some cases - under $1,000. But if you want to be the "bad boy" and the envy of everyone on the block with a cinema sized screen - the Sharp LC65D64U should be on top of your list to audition.

Summary: Your "con" that you listed in your review is completely incorrect. The TV offers a wide range of ports available on the side of unit for easy attachment of temporary devices (game consoles, video cameras, etc) - This product is currently the best offering on the market today.

Part number: LC-65D64U
Description: Once again, Sharp, a leader in LCD technology, establishes a new design standard for LCD TVs. With a screen size class of 65", the AQUOS LC-65D64U raises the bar by fitting a large screen size into an incredibly small footprint.
