Sharp Aquos LC-65D93U
Posted May 7, 2008 - The Sharp Aquos LC-65D93U is a 65" LCD full HDTV delivering a 1080p picture. It features a very fast 4 ms response time (8 ms is more typical of an LCD), and high contrast ratio (15,000:1 dynamic, 3000:1 native). It first became available in March, 2007 and retails for around $9000. The large size, and great contrast and response specs at a good price make this an LCD worth considering. However, reports of banding because of a defect at the Sharp K2 plant, and the noticeable omission of HDMI 1.3 support (only supports HDMI 1.2a) are points you should consider as well. Consider the Samsung FP-T6374 63" plasma as an alternative to this 65" LCD. ... PROS: (1) 120Hz frame rate conversion (instead of 60Hz as most LCDs) (2) 4ms response time (instead of 8-16ms as most LCDs) (3) High native resolution (1920x1080) (4) High contrast ratio for an early 2007 LCD (Dynamic 15,000:1; Native 3,000:1) (5) Large diagonal size (65") for 2007 sub-$10k LCD ... CONS: (1) Utilizes HDMI 1.2a (instead of HDMI 1.3) (2) Possibility of banding due to manufacturing defect at Sharp K2 plant (3) on 720i broadcast it underperforms (4) underperforms when broadcast in 720i (5) Underperforms in motion given its 120 Hz frame rate and 4 ms response time - Read Full Review
