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.

XBR4 and 71 — factory calibrated dark details were the worse, but after CNET’s calibrations the XBR4 appeared similar to the Sharp. I did not try calibrating the Samsung, but CNET notes their post-calibrated review of Samsung’s 65 has good shadow detail. Factory-calibrated black levels are very good, but this maybe the reason for poor shadow details. Regarding the 120 Hz, my non-techie understanding is it improves high-definition disc movies’ 24 frame-per-second (FPS) “judder” (jerkiness) that occurs with 60 Hz TVs since fitting 24 FPS into 60 Hz requires some frames to be repeated 2 x and others 3 x. With a 120 Hz TV, each of the 24 FPS can be repeated 5 x (e.g., 24 x 5 = 120), thus no judder.

The D64 series is the thinnest line of AQUOS LCD TVs ever built. Its narrower frame means more picture in less space. It’s slim and elegant design saves space, while delivering a breathtaking picture and top-end features. Full HD 1080p resolution produces a crisp picture, and a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio with 4ms response time (6ms on LC-32D64U and LC-37D64U) delivers amazingly accurate picture quality. High-efficiency backlight, high-performance speakers and built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners all hit the mark.All D64 models feature at least two HDMI inputs, a PC input, , RS-232C, component, and composite terminals. AQUOS LINK enables convenient control of your other devices using just your AQUOS TV remote. From the 32-inch Class up to a awesoome 65-inch Class, the AQUOS D64 is a beautiful choice.

The 52? screen has a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, 4ms response time, a high-gloss black finish (which is the case with almost any Sharp Aquos screen), a built-in digital (ATSC) and analog (NTSC) tuner for over-the-air TV broadcasts, and a built-in QAM cable TV tuner that receives unscrambled programs without a set-top box — though, cable service is required.
