Sharp Aquos LC42D65U
The Inputs, are absolutely adequate. Even including RS232 and USB port for firmware updates. All of the inputs are located in extremely accessible places. Including the Television’s control buttons on the right side of the bezel. The “picture frame” bezel, rocks! I hate looking at a wide, glossy, distracting bezel, that is VERY common on flat-panals. This one, is thin with hard lines. Very looking.
I bought this Sharp Aquos LC42D65U 42 Inch 1080p LCD HDTV 2 weeks before Christmas, on a particularly stern budget. (My wife’s money) I work In the AV industry, (commercial design and installation ) and I was beat, of working with stuff, that was far out of my budget. I have worked with the 52″ version before, and It really looked great.
Blu-Ray and Gaming, were the priority’s in my final call on what to purchase. The standard for Blu-Ray is 1080p/24Hz. Your Fully Covered! Killer refresh rate! Great performance! Especially when used with a Aquos Blu-Ray player. Oh, yea have I say the combo, not only works together(via “Aquos Link” ), but is also one of the least expensive 1080p $975.00 Blu-Ray $200.00 combo’s. Though, not so bad I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody. MOSTLY, all flat-panel speakers smell. I adore this Sharp Aquos LC42D65U TV regardless. I wold counsel it to anyone.
