Sharp Aquos LC-65XS1US

Description: The Sharp Aquos LC-65XS1US is a 65-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is expensive at around $15,665.This product 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 unit can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when mated to a high definition signal.The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV 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: Suitable for a large room or a home theater.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 hard to justify, with respect to its features.In fact, you would usually pay around 40% less to get a LCD TV with similar viewable size.
