CNET product brief
Description: The Sharp LC-65D90U is a 65-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $4,020.This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros: Has a 65-inch screen size.This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.This TV supports Picture-In-Picture, note: a single-tuner PIP TV requires an external signal source such as a VCR, DVD player, or a cable box with composite video outputs.This set can display images that are sharper and more realistic than analog television when connected to a high definition signal.The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: A liquid crystal display TV, suited for home entertainment as well as work place applications.Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value: Overall, this TV's price seems a bit steep, with respect to its features.Nonetheless, take note that liquid crystal display TVs with comparable viewable size have an average cost of around $4,755.
