Sharp AQUOS LC-46D64U 46" LCD TV

Ultra Sharp

Posted Oct 1, 2007 - I've had this TV for about a week and I am very impressed. I shopped around for Sony and Samsung before picking up this Sharp due to the price differential and the gorgeous design. I love how thin the bezel and the TV itself are. HD pics are outstanding. Even SD sources are acceptable which was quite surprising considering my prior SD experience on an HDTV was less than good. Sharp offers plenty of picture options and they are remembered for each input. The remote is even backlit which was quite surprising. I would definitely buy this TV again if I had to do it all over.

Excellent HD LCD TV

Posted Nov 4, 2007 - Initially, I read reports about banding on this model. Upon initial setup, I examined my set closely under different lighting conditions. It is very difficult to make out the banding and its unnoticable during normal viewing conditions. The form factor is great, slim and light enough for me to install the stand by myself, and it takes up very little space. The picture quality is among the best I've ever seen. There is a wide range of adjustment options so you can customize it to your preferences. Main downsides I've noticed so far are the built in speakers and the fact that I can't customize my favorite channel lists more (there are 4 favorite lists than can only store 4 stations each).

Superb HDTV

Posted Mar 21, 2008 - well, this is one good deal, this tv is all good, one thing i advice who ever is buying soon (this tv or any HDTV). please prepare the right conditions for those kind of tv's to work, then complain later. an HDTV needs an HD output in order to work as it was intended to. wheather you are with a dish or a cable company, call them and make sure your box or receiver is good enough to get HD channels. do not expect your new widescreen HDTV to display SD (standard definition) channels as good as your boxed old TV set. why

Great Quality TV with a Very Clear Picture - But Some Problems with Sound

Posted Nov 16, 2007 - This was my first Sharp Aquos after having previously owned the Samsung line. I have been very impressed with the tv and my friends and family have been a little jealous. The one thing that is important is to research the settings to optimize the picture. There are plenty of places online that will assit you with the settings. This is important because the factory settings do not optimize the performance or picture of the tv.

Great TV....Sharp is not just the brand....it describes this TV!

Posted Nov 10, 2007 - The Sharp AQUOS line has been recently upgraded to these models which supposedly do not have the "banding" issues that past AQUOS screens had. These TVs have some of the smallest form factors for the screen size; even the relatively powerful and adequate speakers are "tucked under" the screen. The stand is very strong and stable. The TV/stand assembly is very simple....8 allen screws for which Sharp has included the wrench. The manual does not really explain some of the advanced video controls well enough for a novice to learn. The descriptions still leave room for a lot of head scratching. Thankfully, most users will not need to touch these advanced settings at all. The remote is your typical multi-device remote but is nothing special. I purchased this TV at the same time as I purchased the 42" and 52" models of the same line (I guess my house should be a Sharp showroom!). I have noticed NO banding or color issues on this TV and the black levels are very solid.

Sharp Aquos LC46D64U LCD HDTV

Posted Dec 20, 2007 - The Sharp Aquos LC46D64U LCD HDTV has lived up the high expectations we had before purchasing it. Before getting DirecTV HD hooked up to the unit, we were pleased with the strength of the Over the Air (OTA) digital tuner that enable it to pull in all the local stations as well as many PBS stations, even without a proper antenna being connected. The HD picture looks great with rich colors and deep blacks. We have been very satisfied with how well the Sharp Aquos LC46D64U has handled fast moving action in football and basketball. My sons are avid video gamers with Xbox and Wii with their racing and action games. The Sharp Aquos LC46D64U looking great and keeping up with the action in the games. We needed to slightly adjust the the brightness and contrast controls as the brightness was all the way to the right (maximum) and contrast was far to the right. These settings may vary with your experience. Despite requiring these changes, the initial settings have been acceptable until more controlled calibration is performed using a DVD calibration disc. Overall, we are very satisfied with our purchase and have recommended this model to others looking for a similiar sized HDTV.

Best LCD for the Money

Posted Nov 24, 2007 - Got this TV Black Friday for $1299 at CC, and cant believe the how much TV we got for the money. The picture is great, and the TV looks good even when off due to sleek design and piano finish. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone...but make sure you get it on sale and don't pay the electronic stores highly marked up everyday price.

A Happy Owner of A Great Product

Posted Sep 16, 2007 - This is definitely one of the best 1080p TV on the market. I have been using Panasonic plasma's for many many years, since I always saw better picture on plasma than on LCD. The sharp changed my view totally. Both color satuation and contrast are comparable with the best plasma. However, it's much lighter, and there is no "burn-in" issues. I use it with my HV20 HD cancorder, the picture quality is much better than 768p plasma. On the down side, it looks not as good when recieving SD TV content. Also, cannot receive all the HDTV channels through cable, compared to my current panasonic with cable card.

Looks great to me

Posted Sep 28, 2007 - Purchased the 46 at a very good price. I am very happy with the quality and color of the set. Easy to set up and was watching it within 5 minutes. Sleek design without any bulging speakers that stand out.

Sharp Aquos LC46D64U

Posted Oct 13, 2007 - The PQ of HD sources is excellent, SD is very good. The audio is the weakest link of this TV just as all other TV's, but who would seriously watching movies on the flat panel HDTV without a real surround audio ? This TV is in my bedroom for watching local HD and SD channels, for movies we have LC52D64U in family room with 7.1 channels surround system.

Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U - great LCD TV

Posted Sep 15, 2007 - This is our first LCD TV - upgrading for a 27" tube that we've had for 10 years. It was well worth the wait - the picture is just awesome or both DVDs and cable (HD). We chose to mount our TV over the fireplace, but the stand seems like it would be a good option too if you have the room. We have not seen any issues with banding. The number of inputs is great - it lets us use the components we have now and is ready for when we upgrade them. The picture is crisp and definitely gave us the feeling that it was worth spending the money to upgrade our old TV.
