| I'm very happy with this tv. I had previously purchased two vizio 42inch 1080p TV's and had too many problems with them. I also had tried a 40 1080p Samsung but the video noise on both HD and SD channels was really bad. So far I'm glad I purchased this sharp tv. I think they do some sort of upscaling on the SD channels because they don't look as bad as other LDC HD tv's. The HD channels look great and in my opinion there's less video noise and distortion then what I have seen on other TV's from vizio, Samsung and sony. There is some flicker during fast moving scenes but I've seen that on all LCD Tv's. Without a doubt the Sharp LC42D64U has been our most satisfying consumer product purchase. We are not appliance geeks and simply wanted a good TV. The Sharp fit the bill. Super bright picture, it looks fantastic even in our great room which has a wall of 16' high south facing windows. Far brighter and of course overall superior to a tube picture. The resolution is crisp, the colors true, and there is absolutely no blurring of motion or pixelation. The depth of field of a high definition broadcast is wonderful - the focus is superb from the batter in the box right back to the fans in row 30 in the same shot. The TV sounds great too, I'm not bothering to use external speakers. After looking at a few brands in a showroom I did not stress too much over this decision. The fact is that any one of the current models from Sharp, Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, etc., will simply blow you away once you get it home and stop looking at 10 screens side by side, trying to figure out which is better. What a great TV. My first week was with standard signal, great picture. No sign of problems reported with earlier Sharps such as banding or dead cells. Appreciated how easy it was to move around and how it fitted into my entertainment center where other brands would have forced me to go 40". Yesterday I got HD satellite. Wow! Whether we watch high speed soccer games, or the Gallery channel fine art, everything is true to life. The satellite intaller also said he had never seen a TV that recognizes the satellite box rather than him having to set it up. He also said it was a very good TV, and I guess he sees a lot. The audio is very good. We don't have a home theatre setup, but the TV audio is more than fine. Amazon was a good buy. I see that Circuit City just advertised this box for a $300 discount, but still $200 more than I paid even if you include shipping. The package arrived in perfect shape, and I didn't have to carry it. Very happy customer. |
