    Review By Pcworld

    The Sharp delivers acceptable sound, but there was no real depth to its artificial surround sound, and no oomph to an organ blast. Loud sounds suffered from slight harshness.

    Unfortunately, design deficiencies make Sharp’s remote and its menus difficult to use. The remote is freckled with tiny, difficult-to-press buttons. Though it has a backlight, this feature doesn’t provide much help in the dark. Press the Light button (which glows quite nicely), and only the elongated Volume and Channel buttons, plus four others, light up. Since the labels aren’t illuminated, it’s unclear which button is which.

    Review By Hdtvlounge

    Connectivity is very good on the LC52D85U, with a total of seven 1080p HD inputs, including a very healthy offering of 5x HDMI 1.3 inputs, allowing plenty of connection options for a growing HD device collection. ReviewQuest gave the Sharp LC52D85U a 4 out of 5 rating, and said, the LC-52D85U does well on the most important criterion, image quality. At over $2250, the Sharp LC-52D85U provides the best picture for its price among the 50- and 52-inch sets.
