    Strengths: OK value for the $

    Weaknesses:Wall mounting, picture quality

    Overall Evaluation: Reading all these glowing reviews, not one mention of wall mounting. Just received the Aquos, replacing a 42" plasma, have already installed a universal wall mount on a brick wall from the other TV, and guess what? It no worky. So I have to buy a Sharp AN-52AG4 wall mount as recommended in the manual. The TV only has a few holes in back to mount wall brackets, so a 'universal' bracket won't work. Another $149 or more. Not a huge deal, just a hassle and frustration. Looking at the Aquos picture now, my 42" HP plasma HDTV seems to be crisper with more vibrant colors.

    Strengths: HD looks amazing on this set. Plenty of inputs. Menu is easy to use. USB upgrade port.

    Weaknesses:None.

    Overall Evaluation: This TV is a great set. You can not go wrong. This is my third HD LCD and I am very happy with it. The complaints about the sound are being a bit picky. It really depends on what you are listening to. Try the blue ray "Planet Earth" sounds and looks incredible even with tv only speakers. If I want true surround sound I have my 5.1 stereo. I would buy another in a heart beat!

    Strengths: Every thing fine except audio

    Weaknesses:Sound breaks up

    Overall Evaluation: Purchased Dec. '07 After set-up I noticed that the sound on 2 of the digital over-the-air channels I receive was breaking up to the point where I could'nt watch them. The signal strength was good,so I contacted Sharp. After 2 service calls they sent a replacement set. It was the same model and did the same thing. I contacted Sharp again and they ended up sending me an older model 92u which has been working fine. Its not the one I wanted. So if you're going to use an antenna, DON'T buy this model!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Sleek narrow frame, lightweight relative to other large screens, large viewing area

    Weaknesses:Lackluster audio

    Overall Evaluation: I was hesitant to order my LCD online and endure a potential shipping disaster (California) but I couldn't resist the great prices found on Pricegrabber. After much research, I chose the Sharp Aquos LC52D64U for 2 key reasons: Its fast response time (4ms) which translates to less pixelation-blur when viewing sports, my primary focus, and its big viewable display with minimal frame/border. It's also lightweight relative to other LCDs making for an easy mount with less worry. In 2 months of using everyday, I haven't had any banding issues noted in other reviews. The color and pix quality has been fantastic. I have HDTV so regular/non-HD channel quality is noticeable especially given the large screen. I couldn't be happier this TV.

    Strengths: Excellent picture quality. Very light and thin. Good value.

    Weaknesses:Minor banding visible, but not serious. Audio quality acceptable, but not great.

    Overall Evaluation: I looked at many HD TVs for months before I chose this model. I preferred the LCD picture quality over the Plasmas. I narrowed down my choice to Sharp, Sony and Samsung LCD models based on picture quality. I decided that the hi-end Sony's had the best picture by a very small margin, but they were significantly more expensive than the Sharp. Unless the two models were side by side with the same source material, I couldn't tell the difference. The picture quality on the Sharp is amazing with a good high definition input, it almost looks 3 dimensional. There have been a lot of complaints about banding problems with the Sharps(light and dark bands on the screen). Supposedly it varies from TV to TV. Mine has some very minor banding, but you have to really look hard to see it. Most people would never notice it unless it was pointed out to them. The speaker quality is not great, but I use a home entertainment system for audio when watching movies. In summary, this Sharp has great picture quality at a very reasonable price for a 52" LCD HDTV.
