5.0 out of 5 stars I Love this 52" 1080p LCD, July 29, 2007

This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D82U 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I have owned this TV for about a month and I can honestly say I would highly recommend it. There are plenty of people at avsforum complaining about banding and I must say you would have to struggle to ever see any. I think most these guys are looking for problems instead of enjoying the TV. They do have great calibration settings though. Trust me though I compared Samsung, Sony, and Sharp and for the price hands down the best deal out there! Samsung and Sony have clouding issues and this TV doesn't. By far this TV has an amazing picture with the 120hz and 4ms response. I watch MLB, Golf, and movies in HD and it is amazing. Truly the best HDTV I have seen for sports or movies.

3 HDMI ports, and 2 composite are also 1080p. If not having a computer hookup scares you off know this TV was made to handle one so just buy an DVI-HDMI adapter and enjoy. I Watch DVD's with a normal DVD that up converts and it looks great. SD shows look as good as any LCD I have ever seen. You won't go wrong with this TV buy it and enjoy the best black levels you will see on an LCD and the first I chose over a plasma. AWESOME TV!

First and foremost, the picture is wonderful. The color, brightness, viewing angle, etc., are all terrific. That said, there are a couple of things I found annoying and perplexing...

1. When mounted on the wall, the power, inputs, and outputs are all unreachable. If you need to add or change a cable, it means pulling the TV of of the wall. It would have been much better if all of the connections were placed along the side or bottom, so that they were accessible while the unit was on the wall.

2. The mount points for the wall mount are too close together. This leads to the TV feeling wobbly when mounted on the wall. I guess it's secure, but the amount of play doesn't instill much confidence.

All-in-all, I'm very happy with the TV. It's just a shame Sharp didn't put a little more thought into the physical design of the unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp LC-52D82U - One the best HDTV's available, October 1, 2007

This review is from: Sharp Aquos LC52D82U 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I have had my Sharp LC-52D82U for more than a month now. I have compared it to Samsung 50 Plasma (5054) and Samsung DLP and many other. Except for the black level, Sharp picture hands down is better and more fun to watch. Colors are bright and vivid. Action is great and with 120 Hz refresh rate - the fast motion is great. CNET talks about banding - I have no idea what they are referring to. I have not seen any banding or color non-uniformity. I have no idea why C-net has raised the flag on Sharps larger units??? Compared to the latest LCD's from Samsung with clear glass (71's and 81's), Samsung has more fluid picture but the reflection and cost are the big disadvantages, not to mention whites on Samsung tend to have a brown tone. The remote and adjustments on this are somewhat limited and not intuitive. The access to the inputs is fine unless you intend to mount it ( not the case for me). Over all this is one great TV for the price...I am sure like all hi tech electronics, in a near future, a newer technology will top it...But until then this will be a top of the line unit...
