I bought this Sharp Aquos LC42D65U 42 inch 1080p LCD HDTV two weeks before Christmas, on a very strict budget. (The money from my wife) I work in the audiovisual industry (commercial design and installation) and I was at work with stuff that was far beyond my budget tired. I worked with the 52 “before, and he looked really great. The picture on the Sharp Aquos LC42D65U 42” is very strong.
The entries are fully sufficient. Even including RS232 and USB port for firmwareupdates. HDMI’s out the wazoo. All of the inputs are located in very accessible places. Including the TV’s control buttons on the right side of the bezel. The “picture frame” bezel, rocks! I really hate looking at a wide, glossy, distracting bezel, that is VERY common on flat-panals. This one, is thin with hard lines. Very professional looking. Why not have a great looking TV to match the quality of the picture on it?
Anyway, I was mostly concerned that most other Aquos models were 120Hz. Blu-Ray and Gaming, were the priority’s in my ultimate decision on what to buy. The standard for Blu-Ray is 1080p/24Hz. Your Totally Covered! Killer refresh rate! Great performance! Especially when used with a Aquos Blu-Ray player. Oh, yea did I mention the combination, not only works together(via “Aquos Link”), but is also one of the CHEAPEST 1080p $975.00 Blu-Ray $200.00 combo’s. I got what I wanted, without having to “settle”. The lack of the 5th star on my review, was for the sound. Kinda stinks. Although, not so bad I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody. MOSTLY, all flat-panel speakers stink. I love this Sharp Aquos LC42D65U TV regardless. I wold recommend it to anyone.
