Sharp Aquos LC52D85U 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Reviews
I was looking for a 52 inch TV to upgrade from my 32 inch and ended up going with Sharp Aquos. I was always a fan of Samsung and love my 32 inch A450 but I was worried about the reflection that the Samsung's have, due to the glossy screen, as I have a family room with a lot of windows. The Sharp has a matte finish with no reflection so I have been very happy in that regard. The picture quality on this TV is very good when adjusted. It took me a little while to get the right settings for my room but now that I have it set the picture quality is great. After setting up the TV I had to upgrade the cables on my cable box as they caused the TV to be fuzzy (standard vga cables). Once I upgraded to component cables the picture quality of HD and regular was very noticeable. I have a PS3 and Apple TV and both look fantastic when running at 1080p. Even the Wii looks good but I will probably upgrade to component on the Wii in order to get higher quality. The 120hz works well even though I'm sure newer models are probably even better but I've been happy with the quality of football etc on this TV. The only area this TV could use help with is the sound. The sound is kind of empty but not bad for general watching. If you are big into sound quality you might want to check out other TV's but many LCD's are not great so external sources may be needed.
I was able to get a great deal on this TV at another vendor, under Eleven Hundred dollars so for that price this Tv is fantastic as many Samsung and Sony 42 inch TV's with 1080p and 120hz are that price right now with. If you are looking for a TV take a look at Sharp, for the price and features they are very good. They don't have the extra features such as hooking up to your internet but who wants that and why would you want to pay for those features. I just want a great picture at a great price, not to receive RSS feeds over my broadband connection.

For those who own this TV, get the firmware update at sharpusa.com - Jeremy Padilla - Bronx, NY
I had this TV since last november. I just decided to check out the website for any info and I found that this TV has a new firmware update since October of 2009. You're gonna have to download it to a USB drive that is formated as "FAT."
Go here and search for this TV model:

Like it a whole lot. Arrived in perfect condition with no dead pixels. Only complaints would be:
1. 120hz might not be as big a deal as advertisers are trying to make us think.
2. I think I remember seeing something about "backlighting" which I thought was something else... but of course that was my fault.
