The Bottom Line Sharp's LC-37D90U is too small to take full advantage of its high 1080p resolution, but it's still one of the best-performing LCDs we've tested yet. While not up to the picture quality of Samsung's topflight models, the feature-rich, uniquely styled LNB650 series still outperforms most LCDs on the market. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
