Sharp AQUOS LC-65D64U has most of the features which you would like to have in high definition television. With a giant screen size of 65 inches, 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 4ms response time, AQUOS LC-65D64U raises the bar by fitting a large screen size into an incredibly small format.

However, to get the picture right, it takes a lot of fiddling with the colors and settings. Also as there is no PIP, it’s a challenge to view HD broadcasts on the whole screen and you have to use “zoom” to fill the screen. After the TV is on for a short while, there have been reports of an odor emitting. The heat and fumes radiating off the 65″screen means you should have a minimum of 10 feet distance from this giant HDTV as highly recommended.

But Sharp Aquous LC-65D64U does have some of the best features such as slim footprint not as heavy as some of the other models, easy setup mode, clarity of HD broadcasts, HDMI connections, X.V. Color, built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs, and awesome picture quality.

YouReviewElectronics.com gives Sharp Aquous LC-65D64U 8/10 stars!
