Sharp LC-52D64U
by David Katzmaier
Review Verdict:
We loved the Sharp LC-52D64U's slim style and solid black-level performance, but we didn't like its less-than-uniform screen.
...
QuickTake:
Pros: Excellent black levels for an LCD TV; deinterlaced 1080i material properly; solid connectivity with 3 HDMI inputs; classy styling with thin frame around the screen and slim depth.
Cons: Relatively expensive; uneven uniformity manifests as irregular bands across screen; color becomes bluer in darker areas; lacks picture-in-picture.
Purchased TV Jan 2008. Picture turned green when watching TV. Parts were changed and still happened next day. Sharp replaced the TV with a brand new unit. Pictured turned green on the second TV. Waiting now for two weeks for Sharp and PC Richards to communicate receipt of the returns goods memo. Have had to place 20 plus calls and still PC Richards claim they have not received it. Promised calls back from Sharp and PC Richards, which never happen. Stay away from both companies!!!! Poor customer service!!!
