Strengths: Seemed like good value.
Weaknesses: TV is defective. Customer service is worse in my opinion.
Overall Evaluation: I recently purchased one of these TVs on-line and it was defective out of the box -- with an 18 inch band of white screen-door effect horizontally across the center of the screen. I understand that those things can happen, but I don't understand how a major company like Sharp can have such poor customer service. It is now 2 weeks later and counting, and Sharp has still not fixed the problem. After first telling me they would just refund my money because they did not have a replacement unit, they now tell they will not issue a refund since I purchased the TV on-line. I am now on an indefinite waiting list for a replacement. So, it will continue to be my problem for the foreseeable future. Overall, this has been the worst consumer electronics experience I can recall. Despite the good reviews on this and other products, I personally don't intend to purchase Sharp products again. ** To update this review, Sharp has a replacement TV delivered to my house, about three weeks after my original problem.

Strengths: Sharp (no pun intended) with good contrast.
Weaknesses: If you use a low profile wall mount (mine is only a few inches from the wall), it's hard to get to the inputs. But you know what? I can deal with it.
Overall Evaluation: While investigating LCDs for our big room - looking for a 52" screen, I narrowed it down to the 3 "S": Sony, Samsung and Sharp (see my review of the 32" Sharp I purchased). I decided that since the sharpness and blacks were so impressive on the large Sharp screen. I decided to plan my purchase. I also decided to look into a 32" Sharp for our bedroom and I wasn't disappointed either. Both the 52" and 32" Aquos (or is it Aquoi) were ordered. The price was great. The design is great. Options for hooking it up to an AV receiver makes it even greater. The picture is great. The 32" came first, so I got very use to all the features and adjustments. When the 52" arrived, it was unpacked, wall mount brackets screwed in to it, wall mount was put up on the wall, inputs connected and BINGO! Just what I expected. It was all ready to go. I haven't seen any of those vertical or horizontal lines yet that I read about in other reviews Same advice as with my 32": Think about getting decent cables. Don't go overboard, but don't skimp either. Get the best digital video and audio possible.

Strengths: The picture quality of the picture with HD signal is amazingly clear even at close up. The piano finish is clean and classy. The programing and adjustment of the TV spec is easy to use.
Weaknesses: There are no vga input, and not enough component and composite imput. With HD antenna and cable input there seem to have white line either on top or side of screen that requre screen position adjustin
Overall Evaluation: This Sharp Aquos 52 is very good for its value and size compare to its competitors. The picture is amazingly clear with HD and DVD input. Certainly having component wire help the quality of the picture. The audio sound very good. It self adjust the volume from analog to digital sound. The surround sound feature is comparable to regular home theater system. The sharp really get you into HD and makes you want to purchase video game system and HD or Blu-ray player to use its full 1080p capability. At first I though this 52" LCD TV is too big for viewing within the 10 ft viewing distance but once you get used to it, you don't want to trade it for a smaller LCD TV. The picture gets better as it is used more and do play with the different video mode that way you can pick the best mode for your viewing pleasure. If you like bright and sharp picture this is definitely the TV for you.

Strengths: Sharp only please !!

Overall Evaluation: Why are therre reviews on here that talk about the Sony XBR no one that is reading about the Sharp LC52D62U is wanting to read in these reviews about the Sony . When we want to read about the Sony I will go to the Sony reviews. I would like to read reviews about the Sharp LCD T.V in these reviews.

Strengths: The picture clarity is awesome! The contrast ratio is very nice! The piano finish is gorgeous! The price was right! Paid $2887 online. no tax... free shipping. The box came in perfect condition!
Weaknesses: No USB Port. A 3rd HDMI port would be nice. Wished there were other digital audio output option.
Overall Evaluation: I did a lot of research on this unit. I read about all the banding issues. I haven't had any issues with mine. Then again... my serial # is C6128xxxxx so I think it's one of the new ones that was manufactured after Sharp fixed their banding problems. The TV looks really nice in my living room. The price... and the 1080P is what made me pull the trigger on this one. Even though I've only owned it for one day..... I'm loving it!

Strengths: Price was good, and the styling was good as well.
Weaknesses: Picture wasn't up to par with my smaller Sony in my Bedroom. High Def looked good but the Sony did a better job with DVD and Cable playback, plus the color performance was better all around.
Overall Evaluation: Make sure you do some good comparisons in the store, especially with the blacks, I saw more detail in the dark areas on the 52"XBR that I Eventually purchased.

Strengths: Picture quality, price, ease of use
Weaknesses: None that I've found
Overall Evaluation: I ordered this television online about two weeks ago. It performs beautifully and looks great in my living room. I was a little leery about buying something this expensive online, but everything is great so far. Looks great on HDTV channels and surprisingly sharp and clear on conventional TV channels.

Strengths: Looks, this TV/monitor is as good looking as any on the market today at a higher price. It's slimer then the XBR and the pictur quality is as good if not better.
Weaknesses: None so far! It's a great peice of engineering.
Overall Evaluation: This is the second AQUOS I have purchased on line this year, and I have to say it's been the best. I love the style and the quality of this Sharp LCD's. More compact than the XBR and I would say more quality and style for the dollar. The quality is fantastic and the picture is awesome with a HD signal. It's picture is somewhat blurred with a over air signal, but I have not seen any LCD of any brand that has a good picture with a poor signal, the sound from the on board speakers is fantastic. I live in the Midwest and the panel was shipped out of New Jersey I was kind of worried about how it would be delivered but it was great. Absolutely NO Damage, the box looked as good as the panel, and delivered to my door NO extra charge. This has been the best experience of my on-line shopping. From the product to the delivery I have to give it 5 Stars! The Best!

Strengths: Price
Weaknesses: Very poor colors. Appear washed out,even after multiple attempts at color managment.
Overall Evaluation: Comparing the colors to my other TV, a SONY XBR LCD TV, the SHARP is very poor. I wish I had spent the extra money on the 52" SONY XBR3 LCD TV.

Strengths: Vivid blacks, extraordinary brightness, PRICE!!!!
Weaknesses: No PC analog input, Only 2 HDMI ports.
Overall Evaluation: I was looking at the Sony KDL-46XBR3 46" BRAVIA XBR 1080p high-definition LCD TV it looks great but is cluttered by the side speakers and costs more for less size. For the price for 1080 P and the size of this screen without speakers getting in the way, this is an excellent TV. This TV looks great with the piano finish.
