Sharp Aquos LC42D65U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV User Review

Very happy with this purchase. Got it from Amazon for 850.00 shipped no tax, so cant complain about that! 5 hdmi inputs plus pc inputs makes this a very scaleable tv. People complain about pixels up close. Yes you will see some blocks up close (1 or 2 feet away) but from my sitting distance of 8 – 14 feet, the screen is crystal clear. HD looks amazing of course. Xbox360 in 1080 is fantastic. Speakers are garbage though, but you should expect that on any LCD or Plasma, unless you are dropping 1500.00 +. A word about LCD vs. Plasma. There are valid arguments for and against both technologies. For me it came down to 1 simple thing. Plasma generates heat, and heat and electronics dont mix!
