The Bottom Line CNET has not reviewed the Sharp LC-42D64U, but we have reviewed the nearly identical LC-52D64U. We loved the Sharp LC-52D64U's slim style and solid black-level performance, but we didn't like its less-than-uniform screen. CNET did not review the Sharp AQUOS LC-42D65U, but we did review a larger model in the same series. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. We preview the Sharp LC-D62U series, the company's 2006 high-end line of 1080p flat-panel LCDs.
