Sharp AQUOS LC-52D62U 52" LCD TV

Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 52

Posted Jan 27, 2007 - This Sharp Aquos 52 is very good for its value and size compare to its competitors. The picture is amazingly clear with HD and DVD input. Certainly having component wire help the quality of the picture. The audio sound very good. It self adjust the volume from analog to digital sound. The surround sound feature is comparable to regular home theater system. The sharp really get you into HD and makes you want to purchase video game system and HD or Blu-ray player to use its full 1080p capability. At first I though this 52" LCD TV is too big for viewing within the 10 ft viewing distance but once you get used to it, you don't want to trade it for a smaller LCD TV. The picture gets better as it is used more and do play with the different video mode that way you can pick the best mode for your viewing pleasure. If you like bright and sharp picture this is definitely the TV for you.

Sharp AQUOS 52

Posted Dec 21, 2006 - This is the second AQUOS I have purchased on line this year, and I have to say it's been the best. I love the style and the quality of this Sharp LCD's. More compact than the XBR and I would say more quality and style for the dollar. The quality is fantastic and the picture is awesome with a HD signal. It's picture is somewhat blurred with a over air signal, but I have not seen any LCD of any brand that has a good picture with a poor signal, the sound from the on board speakers is fantastic. I live in the Midwest and the panel was shipped out of New Jersey I was kind of worried about how it would be delivered but it was great. Absolutely NO Damage, the box looked as good as the panel, and delivered to my door NO extra charge. This has been the best experience of my on-line shopping. From the product to the delivery I have to give it 5 Stars! The Best!

Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 52" LCD TV

Posted Dec 24, 2006 - I ordered this television online about two weeks ago. It performs beautifully and looks great in my living room. I was a little leery about buying something this expensive online, but everything is great so far. Looks great on HDTV channels and surprisingly sharp and clear on conventional TV channels.

AQUOS LC-52D62U 52" - Just as I expected!

Posted Feb 2, 2007 - While investigating LCDs for our big room - looking for a 52" screen, I narrowed it down to the 3 "S": Sony, Samsung and Sharp (see my review of the 32" Sharp I purchased). I decided that since the sharpness and blacks were so impressive on the large Sharp screen. I decided to plan my purchase. I also decided to look into a 32" Sharp for our bedroom and I wasn't disappointed either. Both the 52" and 32" Aquos (or is it Aquoi) were ordered. The price was great. The design is great. Options for hooking it up to an AV receiver makes it even greater. The picture is great. The 32" came first, so I got very use to all the features and adjustments. When the 52" arrived, it was unpacked, wall mount brackets screwed in to it, wall mount was put up on the wall, inputs connected and BINGO! Just what I expected. It was all ready to go. I haven't seen any of those vertical or horizontal lines yet that I read about in other reviews Same advice as with my 32": Think about getting decent cables. Don't go overboard, but don't skimp either. Get the best digital video and audio possible.

Aquos 52 LCD (LC-52D62U)

Posted Apr 8, 2007 - BANDING ISSUE: First panel (purchased from a high-end local retailer from first factory shipments) had to be replaced 5 months later due to the notorious banding problem. I had wide splotchy shaded areas in darker scenes near the top and middle of the picture. Apparent cause (per dealer) was an overspray of plastic coatings on the light filter system (makes sense, right?). Caused by jammed spray nozzle in factory - now since fixed. It was noticeable, not terrible, but for the technology leader in LCD (Sharp Aquos), such defects should not exist in a production model. Still, this was breakthrough technology, and there are no other choices at this quality and size. The picture if amazing. The clarity of hi-def programming in 1080i format, even things originally recorded in video, have a film like quality. Stuff originally recorded on IMAX are amazing. The contrasts are so strong, I had to reduce the factory set contrast level. This LCD moves the technological bottleneck back to your content.

Sharp Aquos LC-52D62U 52 Super Product

Posted Mar 21, 2007 - Don't know why anybody would think a Sony was better or the extra cost was worth it. HDTV programming and DVD playback is superb.Great pricing. I'm still using and exterior antenna and the digital stations are coming in fine.

Sharp reviews only please !!!!

Posted Jan 18, 2007 - Why are therre reviews on here that talk about the Sony XBR no one that is reading about the Sharp LC52D62U is wanting to read in these reviews about the Sony . When we want to read about the Sony I will go to the Sony reviews. I would like to read reviews about the Sharp LCD T.V in these reviews.

Best TV I've ever seen

Posted Apr 1, 2007 - I am still bowled over by how this looks, both turned on and turned off. It's just fantasic. The color, picure, etc. are great. None of the infamous "banding" people have goten worked up about. Don't know how good the sound is, particularly, since all my sounds goes out via the home theater system. I wish it had a third HDMI input or an RGB computer input, though.

GREAT PRICE AND A GREAT TV

Posted May 5, 2007 - Bought this at Best buy several months ago on a lemon exchange which was a Westinghouse. No bars, no streaks, no runs, no errors, just a great picture and a quality product. Hooked it up with a HDMI/DVI conversion cable and did a full 1080P computer picture without a hitch.

Should remain top-of-the-line for at least a few years

Posted Apr 30, 2007 - I started with a 42" Aquos (780p?) last year, and now have this one for another room this year. It's pretty amazing how the pictures have at the same time that prices have dropped. For the quality + price ratio this TV provides, I'm not sure how much better it can get. Be sure to get a 1080p DVD player (I got the Oppo) to take full advantage (note that you need to configure settings on the DVD player to bump it up to 1080p upscaling!). My only complaint is that I am not at all a fan of the "piano black" casing. Shiny black plastic does not at all fit my decor. I really wish this came in a matte silver (or at least a matte black). And kudos to BuyDig.com. They exceeded whatever expectations I had.

A good piece of equipment

Posted Jun 13, 2007 - The bottom line- this TV set worth each dollar I am sure that nobody will regret for that purchase. The lack of more in and outs will be a serious problem if you don't have AV receiver but actually there are enough connectors for the basic user. Once again don't hesitate.

Aquos means quality.

Posted Aug 4, 2007 - I was looking at many different TV's before deciding on this one. I upgraded from a Sony LCD projection TV that was a few years old and the Sharp has a much better picture, especially as far as contrast and black levels. The blacks looked dark-grey on the Sony (the newer models look much better though) and this was the major reason for the upgrade. Black levels on the Sharp are excellent and it shows much more detail than my older TV. The picture is very, very good on this panel with much more detail than what you actually can see from a normal viewing distance. Color reproduction is fantastic and the brightness can be set to very high levels so you can still watch, even in a very bright room. The Sharp has a feature that adjusts the brightness level on the TV per the brightness in the room. This way the Sharp will show a darker picture at night rather than during the day, this is a very handy feature. If you look very close, like 1-2 feet, you can see that each pixel is close to one another and there is not much gap in between them, this proves that the Sharp is a quality product. The picture is 'full'. The Sharp also has a DVI input that accepts PC signals. It's the coolest thing to hook up a PC and set the resolution to 1920x1080. The manual said it wasn't possible, but it still worked! I even managed to connect my fathers camcorder with European PAL signal and the Sharp handled it, a nice surprise since the older Sony couldn't. The resolution is 1920x1080 which is the highest resolution HDTV describes, thus this monitor is 'future safe'. I plan to get a HD DVD or Blueray as soon as the darn format war is over, can't wait. It was no problem buying a refurbished product (less than 2 grand). I was nervous about this but the TV showed up only a few day after I ordered it and it was in impeccable condition. Thank you 2nd act! Overall I'm extremley happy with the Sharp and I can highly recommend it to anyone. Oh, did I mention that the design of the TV rocks! This TV looks very cool. Also, it starts up in only a few seconds.
