The Bottom Line We preview the Sharp LC-D62U series, the company's 2006 high-end line of 1080p flat-panel LCDs. Although it delivers the deepest color of black we've seen yet, a couple of picture quality problems keep the Sharp LC46D62U from being a top, high-end LCD choice. CNET did not review the Sharp AQUOS LC-42D85U, but we did review a larger model in the same series.
