Product Description

Once again, Sharp®, the leader in LCD technology, has established a new design standard for LCD TVs. The new LC65D64U AQUOS® raises the bar by fitting a large screen size into a incredibly small footprint. By changing the layout of circuits inside the LCD panel and by cutting the number of parts, Sharp's engineers were able to reduce the depth by 30%, allowing placement of the LC65D64U model in virtually any type setting. The LC65D64U utilizes Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 4ms response time. The LC65D64U is a HDTV with built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC tuners and include 3 HDMI™ inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs. Side terminals are included for convenience as well as RS-232C input for control. The LC65D64U features a sleek piano black cabinet with subtle, recessed bottom-mounted speakers.

Sharp Aquos LC65D64U - Amazing HDTV!
 
Review Date: May 13, 2008
Reviewer: Jonathan B. Burnham, McLean, VA USA
We purchased the Sharp Aquos LC65D64U in early February, and have found the picture and everything else about this HDTV nothing short of amazing. We shopped extensively and looked at many other large screen flat panels, and nothing compares to this for the money. (Actually, I don't know how anyone could want a more beautiful picture at any price.)

We used our existing high-end surround sound speaker system (originally purchased several years ago for use with a Sony 60-inch rear projection TV, which was great in its day), but upgraded our old surround sound receiver to a new Yamaha RXV863 receiver to complement the newer digital technology. We have the Sharp mounted on the wall, and use a Playstation 3 for Blu-ray movies and a Cox HDTV cable box with DVR for HDTV reception, recording, and playback. We also have a Wii player connected, and its images also look great with this HDTV.

This Sharp HDTV was delivered via Amazon's standard truck carrier, and arrived on time in perfect condition.

This is one great HDTV. We highly recommend it!
Only 65" LCD in the market, best one in Aquos LCD line

Reviewer: Nelson Alonso,
This TV is so far everything I expected. The Sharp Aquos line took a big dump years ago when they started to redesign and replace parts with cheaper ones. This new generation Shar Aquos is back to its original standards. I have this unit mounted on the wall of my entertainment center and its the perfect size. This is the only available LCD on the 65" range. About the 120hz hype, I've seen the next generation of this model with the 120hz Spider Man 3 on Blu-ray and there IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. What the other makes are advertizing as 120hz true motion is different. This is manipulating the image to eliminate all possible blur natural to LCDs when watching cinema (24 frames per second) movies. If you have any doubts, go to a Frys or BestBuy and watch a TV playing a movie with 120hz true motion enabled. It makes movies look fake, as if you are watching a video game or a soap opera. It takes you out of the movie. Your grinch reflex will be overworked scene by scene. Sharp has had 120hz refresh rates for years and they look the same as 40hz (this model). Don't be taken up by the marketing fad on this feature and be suckered to pay an extra $3000. In my opinion, the next generation on this size by Aquos is plain ugly. The frame looks like is covered in leather, with four hidious chrome squares on each corner. This model has a slick piano-like frame finish with very elegant and contemporary lines. Overal, it is a great TV. Make sure you have at least 14 feet of separation between the TV and the seating area.

I recommend this product highly.
65" AQUOS...need I say more

We have a large room with lots of windows so had to go LCD over plasma. I have not complaints over this tv. Picture is amazing, even wathching Hi Def sports channels. The price goes up and down, but keep watching it and go for the 65 over the 50's any day.
Sharp LCD 65 inch HDTV great value

This set worked great out of the box. I am very pleased with picture and sound, as well as the price available on line. I used the Sanus wall mount kit recommended for the LC65D64U. It fits very close to the wall, looks good. Be warned that the bolts furnished by Sanus do not fit the set (Use metric M10-mm30) also had to file the slots in the mount bracket slightly wider to allow for the bolts to fit. I know there are some feature on much more expensive models that might sound neat but for a basic set with a great picture I could not see a cost benefit with another more expensive set.
Warning: You Will Be in Love with Your Television.

Sharp's Aquos series is one of the most highly regarded in HDTV flat panel LCD TV alongside Sony's Bravia series. It deserves all of the accolades it receives as the picture, even on a 65" behemoth, is absolutely flawless. In 1080p HD this thing is incredible. Black levels are amazing, response times and refresh rates are so fast that even professional sports displayed in HD show no pixels falling behind, no blurring, no noise. The set also requires virtually no warm up time and is at full brightness in a matter of moments after powering on. The set also includes technology that senses how bright the room is and adjusts the brightness of the screen to the room conditions. The understated and elegant design of the ultra thin bezel disappears and the picture just seems to float in midair. I have this hooked up to a home theater, so I cannot comment on the on board speakers, but I suppose anyone getting a 65" set will be using external speakers as well. The only shortcoming is a slight lack of features that other sets are offering, like front panel inputs (although easy to get to side inputs are available, including a side HDMI port). Memory card slots for displaying digital camera slideshows on screen aren't included either. I know I won't miss either of these seldom used features, but thought they deserved a mention. For such a huge screen, this set is surprisingly light too, so it's no problem wall mounting it using universal mounts. It's quite easy for two adults to move around. A handsome understated stand is included if you have furniture big enough to set it down upon. An absolute stunner that you won't regret purchasing. Just be prepared to fall in love and spend more time with your TV than you ever did before. In a word: Perfect. Highly recommended.
