 Fine but expected a bit better Feb 01, 2009
By Robert Huang
"RealUserRealStory"
I've had this for about a month. It works ok but since I have two other HDTVs at home so I got a good chance to compare (instead of just the giddiness of owning the first HDTV). The 6ms response time doesn't bother me as I don't think I can tell the difference between 6 ms and 4ms 9as.
The good:
Lower power consumption comparing to some other brands. Channel change is quick. You wouldn't know the importance of this unless you have one that's slow. Great menu selections. You can customize about anything. No banding.
Now the not so good:
I don't know how many dead pixels for such a screen size is considered acceptable. Mine came with at least two dozen. They are so small and I can't tell from beyond two feet away, so ok.
The speakers are really bad. Yeah maybe it's as bad as it can be. Even my wife can easily tell the difference between the build-in speakers and my $20 computer speakers that I plugged in.
One of the holes in the back that bolt the TV to the stand is slightly off position, as a result, the screw can't go in. The delivery guy tried 10 min, and I tried 20 min myself. It's not a deal breaker as the other 3 were screwed on fine, but just makes you wonder the cost-cutting has gotten to a dangerous point.
In the end I didn't return it because of the hassle of returning and the hassle of having to find another one. I expected a bit more from a supposedly higher end model, however.

 2008 version of 64U Nov 03, 2008
By Earl A. Sandness
"earl610"
Check the reviews for the lc42d64u model. The "65u" is the fall 2008 version of it. I had to do a lot of research (hours) to figure this out. Even Sharp's website is still listing the 64u's at this time. Found this at productwiki.com
http://www.productwiki.com/sharp-aquos-d65u-series/
There have been over 60 5 start ratings on the 64u at amazon.com so I thought you might be interested in a little more feedback before making your purchase. Given the vast price difference, I figure it's just new and no one knows about it so this may be a get it while you can opportunity...
According to the site mentioned, the only difference is the energy star functionality, which can be turned off, according to the previous rater.

Great product, crystal clear picture quality Nov 10, 2008
By tc
I bought that tv 3 weeks ago.Since that time, we are enjoying watching tv and dvd movies as whole family. Black is real black and the colors are vivid. I also connect my tv to my laptop and use as a monitor. Superb result.Great product, great buy.
20% energy saving option is an additional feature which is great.

Very good price for a very good HDTV Oct 13, 2008
By G. Connot
"Never been cool"
I found this TV on sale locally for less than $900, and I can say it was a great buy. The automatic brightness adjustment can be annoying and give you degraded picture clarity, but you can turn it off or adjust it to suit. The sound is good, but not great. As for the quality of picture and the quality of the TV in general, I couldn't be happier. This TV is a great buy.
UPDATE: May 28 2010: This TV stopped working and was unrepairable after only having it 18 months. However, Sharp offered to exchange the TV for about $475 with a refurbished Sharp LC-46LE810UN 46-inch 1080p 120Hz LED Edge-lit LCD HDTV, despite my tv being out of warranty. They even compensated me for the money I spent trying to get this tv fixed. While I was annoyed with the tv breaking, I can't help but say Sharp's customer service is amazing. GREAT company to buy from.

Very good deal Jan 13, 2009
By Kasey
I read online about this tv before I bought it. I read about tuning the picture, then I found the preset keys. The dynamic fixed gives the setting you would find in the stores. Everyone talks about that not being the right picture for the home. Lets be honest, those bright pictures are why we buy the televisions in the first place. Good thing they have a function that starts there and lets me tweak everything to my liking. After I found that function, I really appreciated the product. I had a 26" flat screen before this tv, but I really appreciate the HDTV channels now, they pop. Considering Sharp is one of the few manufacturers that makes it's own screens, it's a really good deal. All in all, it's the right product for the right price.
