Product Description
Once again, Sharp, a leader in LCD technology, establishes a new design standard for LCD TVs. With a screen size class of 52", the AQUOS LC-52D64U raises the bar by fitting large screen sizes into incredibly small footprints. By changing the layout of circuits inside the LCD panel and by reducing the number of parts, Sharp engineers developed the Slim-line design, which reduces depth by 25%, allowing placement of the LC-52D64U in virtually any setting. The LC-52D64U utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View / Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 4ms response time. The LC-52D64U features built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and includes 3 HDMI (version 1.3) inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs. Side terminals are included for wall-mounting convenience as well as RS-232C input for control.

 My new Christmas TV December 22, 2008
This Sharp HDTV was a present to myself for Christmas and I am delighted with every aspect. The sound is brilliant, the picture and colour beautiful--it was extremely easy to hook-up my surround sound stereo. Just plugged the HDMI contacts in/out--and vvvvwwwwooollllla!!! a present to myself I will cherish for at least a few years (hopefully)
I have a 52 inch Sony HD in the living room and the picture quality is practically the same, although I have to say that the Sony HDTV has a much better base quality---but I am happy, happy with my new purchase.
Great Tv from a fussy reviewer December 14, 2008
As an owner of 3 LCD TV's, ranging from 27" to 52" and i built a THX home theater in my basement i feel i know enough about TV/Audio to know what is good and what is bad. This is a remarkable TV once you get your settings up and running. Like all TV's in the stores they are all preset at their highest settings to get your attention (brightness, contrast, gamma, temp etc). Also, because of this the average American viewer is used to watching a TV at a too bright setting. So when they do actually do some research and calibrate at home or even pay a ISF certified calibrator to get into the hidden service menus they think the picture is now too dark. Rest assured viewers this TV will give you a fantastic picture. Remember though that the quality of the picture is limited to the quality of the input. Standard Def signals will NEVER look HD on any HD tv, i don't care what any drone at your best-circuit-shack tells you. Often times SD just doesn't look good on a HD TV. Now, if you can afford a new HD LCD or Plasma or OLED TV then you should be able to afford to pipe it to a HD signal from your cable/sat provider (yes i know you can get HD over the air but ONLY if you have a QUAM receiver built in to the TV otherwise you'll need a box to get HD signals). I have read the negative reviews (the few that there are) and most of them seem to be attributed to lack of calibration. You have to calibrate a TV out of the box....simple as that. As stated earlier the factory settings are simply there to get your attention on the floor from all the competitors. For the ones that have broken glass issues, this has nothing to do with the quality of the TV, that's the delivery method. Also, Sharp has a great warranty and as part if their warranty for this premium line of TVs they even offer a loaner if it does need servicing. Great TV, great service, great warranty...i cant complain...This TV replaced my Sony 52" LCD that (unfortunately as i did like it also) just quit on me.
LOVE this LCD TV : A non-techie's perspective December 9, 2008
I am not a techie and will never claim to be one. For technical information/set-up, you'll need to read another review.
After promising my family that we would graduate from a tube TV, I spent about 1 month looking at the 52" and larger TVs on the market. We looked locally (to see the screens/pictures/visibility) and on-line for pricing and reviews.
From on-line reviews, I narrowed my choice to an LCD (from plasma, dlp & lcd), and locally/visually, I narrowed my choice to Sony & Sharp. Price-wise, I narrowed our choice to a 52" because the 65" is just too pricey.
This Sharp Aquos model is what we decided to purchase, and we ended up purchasing it locally because of the price on a Black Friday special. My husband had it mounted and running that day (it did take 2 people to mount it).
We"ve watched in both HDTV & analog. The HD picture is fabulous & the analog is fuzzy (fuzzier than the tube TV picture). We had no problems getting the TV running (the manual is just ok). All in all, the whole family is very, very happy with this TV & I know where to find my family members when I need them.

The television arrived within 5 days. We were very excited when the installation was completed. We hired a local firm to install the television and surround sound. The technician turned on the set and the interior glass was broken, which renders the TV completely useless. We had to box it back up and wait nearly two weeks for the TV to be picked up. I was so frustrated that I purchased the same set from a local vendor. I didn't want to take the chance that another set would be delivered that was broken. I suspect that the television was broken during shipment!Sharp Aquos LC52D64U 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

After careful use and adequate shakedown time, I find this LCD TV remarkably great. It is sharp and the visual angels of view are equally great. However, the black shiny plastic bezels is easy to scratch, and cannot be cleaned well due to this fact. Secondly the display is not as bright as it should be. Most images are darker when compared to other LCD screens.
