Good quality is always what matters when buying any item.

Sharp LC-46D64U LCD HDTV hasn?t been receiving good reviews when it comes to image quality. Some describe the image quality to be distorted, appalling, and not good at all. I?ve used to describing visual effects to have the quality of being oil-painted and this is not a good remark for a start. I wouldn?t be biased at all because I rate this product as an average product and it wouldn?t be a surprise to see Sharp LC-46D64U at the top of those bad reviews for image quality.

However, the sound quality of Sharp LC-46D64U is tolerable and okay. The sound system complements the other shortcomings of Sharp LC-46D64U which a great TV should possess. If you plan to use an external surround sound anyway, the okay quality of the audio will not be an issue.

LC-46D64U has Sharp’s Aquos Link Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) which enables it to be connected and attached to other Sharp devices. One of its specifics called Optical Picture Control gives you the power to automatically adjust the TV?s brightness which depends on your environment, but this feature is not quite impressive.

It automatically shuts down after 15 minutes when it doesn?t receive signal or the user forgot to switch the TV off because of its power saving feature which maintains quality image. Another interesting feature of LC-46D64U’s is the Audio Only option which gives you the freedom to not use the TV?s sound system when connected to DVD player where you only want to listen to some music from CD?s (it just balances poor quality image it has).

Over-all the Sharp is manageable and easy to use. The text on screen is understandable even if it?s used small letters, and the menu appears nice too. The menu will not automatically close while you are adjusting the video setting. In reality, video adjusting is not really a problem because it doesn?t occupy much space on the screen.

As for the remote control, it?s not handy and convenient since some buttons are too small and the lights of the button don?t fit its functions at all. The controls are spaced much too closely together and remote itself, can get uncomfortable to hold in a short period of time. While there are good menu options and buttons, you will find them hard to see in a dark or densely lit room due to the lack of a back light that does not work properly.

The manual which is shaped triangularly is indeed helpful despite of text-heavy quality. You have the choice to download the PDF version if you are not satisfied reading the manual printed on grayish pages. While many have complained about the lack of a hard copy manual, the Sharp LC46D64U includes there?s but it needs to have more pictures to allow users to easily work on their new flat screens without having to stop and read large amounts of text every few minutes.

LC-46D64U can pass in terms of all features a television should have but unfortunately its image quality fails to satisfy the needs of the customers. This flat screen is not a bad bargain for its price, but coming from a company such as Sharp, they could have done much better in creating this flat screen HDTV.

When the Sharp Aquos LC52D92U is first unboxed and unfettered from all of its packaging, you will find that you need help in moving your new HDTV around the room to its correct viewing position. This television set, which can cost upwards of $5300 weighs in at over 70 pounds and after completing the attachments, that weight jumps to over 90 pounds.

While many TV?s of this size can be heavy, one good reason to grab a friend to help with your new big screened electronic gadget is to prevent damage to this product. You will have to place the television first down so that it is lying flat on the delicate screen. Once it is in place, you will now have to connect the speaker system and table stand. Once these items are in place, they will add an extra 20 pounds to your new TV.

This product didn?t manage to make a fantastic impression with its cabinet and auto dimming backlight. LC-52D92U has good performances but far from best although you might expect something excellent for this high price. The market has better products than the Sharp Aquos LC-52D92U when it comes to visual quality and other extra options.

This TV managed to get a score below average because it lacks many things when it comes to video performance: details are pixilated (a scene with a moving train managed to disappoint the jurors because things became very pixilated at one point).Standard definition managed to get an average score but this HDTV managed to show more pixilated scenes than many from its categories which have smaller price.

During HD-DVD and Blu-ray tests the result was very unsatisfying as scenes were having contrast and brightness problems. However, sometimes, the contrast was very good showing the best detailed pictures on a 1080p but it doesn?t manage to keep the same performance for all scenes.

Unfortunately, you will notice the pixels during some scenes and people?s skin has a red tendency if you take a closer look. The color quality is very good, when taken alone, the colors are amazing, but during scenes the performance is far from what we expected.

When it comes to sound, things begin to improve because audio quality is way better than video quality. The sound is really excellent, especially when listening to an orchestra, because it manages to make a clear difference between high and low sounds like no other sound system found on HDTVs.
You will experience a unique feeling when watching musicals or concerts because you almost feel like you are near the music players. This HDTV really managed to impress everybody with its audio quality.

The remote is also one of the best, compared to other hard to handle remotes; it also has a wonderful design and its size is just right. Buttons? arrangement is comfortable and everything is well organized in a way which helps the user remember where buttons are; this makes surfing on the remote for volumes or channels smoother.

This is very useful because you cannot access the on screen menu without the remote; the only buttons found on the TV are power, channel and volume, so expect to use the remote more frequently. The settings found on the on-screen menu are various; however, a disadvantage is the fact that you don?t have any RGB controls.

Other options may include setting up the black depth level and another for motion blur. There is also an option for surround sound, which makes the difference when it comes to sound score. This HDTV lacks other things like an option for the user to make setting combinations for different programs they watch.

This is one of the HDTVs that look good on the outside because it has a great and stylish design, but it only manages to have an average performance when it comes to graphics. Other products would do better and may have a lower price. The $3000 price is a bit too much to spend for such a poor performance.

The Sharp Aquous LC52D92U presents some of the best contrasts that will give you greater picture quality not usually found in 1080p. However, this great feature presents a down side to this HDTV as it shows that the processor is weak at the very least.

User-friendly and a certified eye candy–two reasons why this TV set is an excellent choice.

Save for some minor slips like images on shown on the set that?s lacking detail and user?s manual isn?t completely helpful, the Samsung LN46A550 is almost a complete package. It is easy to see that this TV is almost perfect.

First up is an image test. We scouted nine 46- and 47-inch high definition sets .And among these; it is the one from Samsung that got attention. This set particularly got a high rating for its Blu-ray discs. The set makes pictures look like they?ve come straight from 35mm print as shown when we viewed Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Vizio?s VO47LF and the Syntax-Brillian?s Olevia 747i followed the ratings of the Samsung.

Speaking of audio, the TV?s audio system isn?t primed for high-end sound experience. But if you?re in for talk and regular shows, then the set?s audio will just be fine and you can omit the surround sound stereo. However, if you prefer to listen to deafening sounds of your movies, an external gadget can easily be used to improve the sound quality.

Yes, this TV is easy to use. It has an icon-based on-screen menu that can be understood easily. Need help? Then there?s an explanation about the menu as well. When you need to check up on options for the current input, all you need to do is to access the separate tools button on the remote control.

This works just like your pc?s mouse. There?s more; when you need to play a connected device, the easy-to-use LN46A550 instantly switches the input to that source. A major feature of the Samsung is the convenience factor. Much of the controls that need to be used can be used automatically, without the need of a few extra steps.

One of the only problems that you will find involves the remote control. It has backlit buttons that are large enough to be viewed by almost everyone, however if you like the picture in picture option and use it frequently, you will have to go through the menu option each time, there are no buttons assigned to it. Another issue with the remote is that you cannot use it to control other electronics such as a VCR because there is no way to program it.

With large and easy to see buttons, you?d think that the remote control is perfect. Not quite. Missing is a helpful PiP button for your easy access to Picture-in-Picture. Also, that ratio button is mislabeled. Who will immediately know what a P-Size is? Playing your devices like DVD will be tasking as well since it isn?t programmable. Well you can still play these devices if you want to, granted that you use the brand?s proprietary Anynet technology. The HDMI ?s Consumer Electronics Control channel will make it possible.

The set-up guide and bilingual manual is supposed to facilitate that easy set-up. But the opposite happens. The guide is difficult to comprehend for the non-techie person and the manual is long and too complicated. While the price of some flat screen TV?s are too high due to a bad product, the Samsung offers enough options to justify the price.

So why is the LN46A550 such a good buy at $1500? That?s because of its features. Its USB port is helpful when you view pictures and listen to music. On the side of the set are the easy-to-access HDMI, S-Video and the USB. Want to change the angle of the set for viewing pleasure? Then you can do that as well, as the set can swivel on its stand. Reasons such as these help make the set a well-rounded HDTV and a winner.

Although $4500 may seem like a lot of money to spend on a HDTV, the amazing features that enhance the quality of this TV might justify the amount of money you are about to spend.

During the video tests, this product managed to impress with its minimal pixelation in the background scenes. When it comes to high definition videos, the Samsung LN-T5281F managed to have an excellent score. Skin tone is amazing, and physical features make everything look so realistic; however, it doesn?t manage to bring such natural skin colors like the Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR or the Vizio FV52LF do, but it managed to get a good score for natural looking skin colors.

The brightness and contrast levels are ok, nothing is wrong, and our Samsung managed to score above average. Details are really good, especially in the dark areas, even if you watch a movie with a poor quality. However, when switching on standard definition, like a football or baseball game, everything gets pixilated and has subpar color.

Another good advantage when testing this TV was backlighting, which made sure that the HDTV shows deeper and better quality blacks than the ones brought by a fluorescent backlight. You can test this by using the option in the on-screen menu which lets you set something on only half of the screen; you will surely notice the big difference between default settings and your current settings. However, make sure that you turn on the feature because its default setting is off.

There are various presets for you to choose from, like Dynamic or Movie mode; the DNIe setting, which means Digital Natural Image engine, reduces the background noise and makes images more detailed with its contrast enhancement. You will also find options like White Balance (with RGB settings for color temperature) and My Color Control with settings for each of the colors pink, blue, white, and green.

The audio quality is good but, unfortunately, not excellent. You cannot hear the lows very clear when comparing Samsung LN T5281F with Pioneer Kuro PDP-5010FD. It proved to be very disappointing because the sound is not as rich and full like the one brought by Pioneer Kuro PHP-5010FD. There are various inputs that you get: three HDMI, two composite and two sets of component. The USB port ensures that you can watch pictures or listen to music on your HDTV.

When analyzing the remote, most buttons are black; only few have back light and some of them are colored. The remote is black and has a wonderful and stylish design. Compared to other remotes, this one has smaller buttons but they have a well organized structure making any surfing smooth.

The Samsung LN-T5281F is incredibly similar to their T5265F model, but it is missing a key feature that is present in most HDTV?s and that is the ability to operate in 120Hz. However, this newer model also sports features missing in the 65F models. One of those features is the local dimming capability. Using the dim option, Samsung hopes to recreate the CRT so that you can have great performance from this gadget, and while its good, its not as great as what the CRT could offer.

The HDTV?s design is elegant and glossy with a narrow bezel, but not the thinnest available bezel. It also has a blue LED indicator for power which has the shape of an arc. Another great feature known as the LED Motion Plus, will allow you to reduce the lag on your screen. It does work well but if you?re not careful, you will eventually be left with dull shades of color on your screen.

If you are looking for a good performance TV, this is one of the best products; however, the price may be too high for the average buyers, so this product may not have many fans a first. However, if you wish for something with a lower price and good performance the Samsung FP-T5084 might be the best solution for you.

The Samsung LN-T4061 looks very much like the HP-T4264, after all they both came from the same manufacturer. But they don?t seem to have only the manufacturer in common because their features and technology are almost identical. On the tests, both HDTVs managed to get almost the same marks.

Although the Samsung LN-T4061 is smaller than the HP-T4264, they are both the same when it comes to menu, design, remotes, etc. Another difference between those two would be the fact that Samsung LN supports 1080p and has an LCD panel, while the other uses a plasma screen.

This product is a bit above average compared to other products in its category. During the tests it managed to get a satisfactory score but it?s far from being on the first places. Everything looked good but it had some problems during the standard-definition test on DVD and TV shows.

The high-definition test, however, ran very smoothly and this product obtained a better mark. There were minor problems with the skin tones in 1080p but other than that everything was good.

When it comes to physically setting up this product, you won?t have any difficulties because everything is accessible. The connectors are found on the LN-T4061?s back so you won?t have any problems finding them.

Even if you don?t have any knowledge in technology you will eventually manage to set up the TV. This is a pretty good advantage since you need hours to set up most of the HDTVs on the market because you can?t figure out where everything is.

The menu is not complicated, having a well organized structure. Also, every option is easily found and if you wish, you can make the menu opaque to see everything better.

While you select the sources, it will automatically skip any source that cannot be found, this might prove a little tricky because if you have something and it doesn?t find it, you must select it from the provided list. There isn?t any option that lets you introduce your own source, if you cannot find it in the list.

You also have the freeze option and picture-in-picture if you want to see something from two sources; however, you aren?t allowed to watch from different channels. The USB port lets you see the pictures from your camera on the TV; you also have a jack for headphones. Using these options you can also connect a portable music player such as an iPod to listen to tunes as you fiddle with the Samsungs controls.

The remote isn?t the most comfortable and intuitive thing in the world. It?s rather long and not all the buttons have light; however, it can be programmed. Unfortunately, some of the smaller buttons may be a turn off for some consumers who may be visually impaired.

The sound is good, considering the fact that it comes from an internal system so this TV won?t have problems regarding its sound.

This is one of the average quality HDTVs, although images look good on it, sometimes you have the feeling that something is missing. The skin tones aren?t very real, as it tends to lighten them. Overall this is a good HDTV for someone who isn?t very pretentious because overall this will prove to be a good LCD TV that will bring satisfaction to most of its buyers.
