"Nearly Perfect ... for an LCD"

by Vic Zanchetta on October 27, 2006

Pros: Black is beautiful!

Cons: No PC Input
Summary: Contrary to one of the reviews ... I have NO "banding" NO uneven backlighting and the panel is silent. Just a spectacular picture with the best black level I have seen on a LCD. I came very close to buying the Sony 46" XBR2. But after seeing the black level of the Sharp I was sold. The picture setting out of the box were poor, but once adjusted this set is spectacular.

I was very hesitant to buy an LCD because our family watches a lot of DVD's in the evening and the black levels I have seen to date I thought would leave me wanting a plasma or missing my old Pioneer Elite projection set. DVD's look better on this set than they do on my DLP set or 46" XBR2 I watched in the store (although SD looks slightly better on the XBR2).
I hooked up the new HD DVR (HR-20) from DirecTV and I am in love. The black level of this set allows evening viewing of even darkly lit movies.

It would have been nice to have a PC VGA port, but I would rather feed a digital signal through a DVI to HDMI cable using the pixel for pixel mode for the cleanest possible picture. A good receiver with HDMI switching will allow for hooking up any equipment you desire. I will be using the Denon 2807 shortly.

I would highly recommend this set to anyone in the market for a flat panel.
