Product Description
Once again, Sharp, a leader in LCD technology, establishes a new design standard for LCD TVs. With a screen size class of 52", the AQUOS LC-52D64U raises the bar by fitting large screen sizes into incredibly small footprints. By changing the layout of circuits inside the LCD panel and by reducing the number of parts, Sharp engineers developed the Slim-line design, which reduces depth by 25%, allowing placement of the LC-52D64U in virtually any setting. The LC-52D64U utilizes Sharp's proprietary Advanced Super View / Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 4ms response time. The LC-52D64U features built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and includes 3 HDMI (version 1.3) inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs. Side terminals are included for wall-mounting convenience as well as RS-232C input for control.

 very expensive mistake October 11, 2008

Sharp Aquos LC52D64U is horrible, it was delivered 3 weeks ago and I have spent all my tv viewing time since trying to tweak it.
Impossible to get colors right and when you get close on one channel, you invariably have to re-adjust on next channel.
Picture is only clear on up close shots, as soon as video switches to a medium to distant shot , all is out of focus. Same for DVD'S. My old Panosonic 32 inch CRT has 10 times better picture and I have never had to adjust the settings....ever!
Sharp support was no help, they stated that this was a HDTV and I could not expect to get a decent picture on non-HD channels. This is unbelievable, why would anyone buy a TV that you can only watch 6 channels or so, out of 200. Besides the HD channels only are clear on close up shots also, anything else is out of focus.
I will give Sharp one more chance/call and then I will send this item back, as my return window will expite shortly.
 Wow October 4, 2008
After it arrived, we could not believe the clarity and the quality it presented. We are very pleased with this purchase.
Great picture, but needs some tweaking out of the box September 30, 2008
This is a terrific large flat panel TV. The sharpness and color is exceptional. The factory defaults were too saturated, however, and took some adjustment.

As usual, Amazon had the best price around (better than the local stores, or Costco, or BJs). I had come down to a choice between this one and the Sony; price decided the issue.
It was delivered (with a confirmation phone call as to time, etc, a couple of days before). The fellows delivered the set into my living room. They asked if I wanted them to set it up - I was too excited to realize that maybe this was part of the delivery service; I just figured I didn't have enough money to pay more for setting it up, and sent them on their way. If this was included, I would have liked to have Amazon notify me of that, instead of having to wait until a friend came over to help me with it....
The picture is magnificent! My eyesight is not what it used to be, but this set allowed me to read the scrolling across the bottom easily - and the sharpness of the picture was fantastic! Especially the ocean scenes: the water looked so real.... I had read about 'banding', but did not see any until I'd had the set about a month: then, on some scenes (usually with very plain backgrounds), I noticed a vertical line at about 1/3 of the screen from the left, with a slight color differential on the left third of the screen. But, it's unseen in a busy scene with a lot of action or items on the screen. So - it's there, but I'm not really concerned about it.
The set has a lot of settings for picture size, colors, closed captions, etc. - but using my local cable service takes precedence over many of the settings. So, I set everything to my liking before hooking into the cable service. The most fascinating thing was the choice of CC font, font color, font background color, and font background transparency: loved that!
The set seems to run hot - it will keep the living room warmer this winter! I keep it on a coffee table with lots of open space around it, so there shouldn't be any problem with overheating. My airconditioner blows across one edge of the set, and has never caused any operating or viewing problem.
Basically, I have been watching a lot of TV since getting this set, and love it. I have no real complaints, and would recommend it to anyone.
 I HAD IT WITH SHARP NO MORE PLEASE! August 20, 2008

Researched like a rocket scientist for few weeks to purchase just the right tv at the right price like most people. I had a Trinitron for life until recently due to the digital tv signal thing, I thought I give these lcds a try. Decided on this unit based on the great reviews on forums and experts. Why I bought: I love the design of this unit, very sleek...nice. I like the features and specs. I like the price not too much (Sony) and not too cheap (Vizio). Just the right amount of this and that. Why I am writing this review: omg, first set had a white line in the middle of the screen that went up and down, first I thought it was normal since it was a large screen...lol. i returned and repurchased the same model in a diffirent box. Had it for 2 months now, and suddenly the picture goes blank...green power light goes on and off but I am unable to access the tv menu, etc. I cant even turn off the tv without unplugging. Researched online forums...I was not the only victim. I tried this and that as suggested but nothing worked. I'm returning this unit and never buying Sharp again. I miss the good ol' days of the solid Sony Trinitron sets. Good luck!
