Sharp AQUOS LC-52D65U

 

The Sharp LC-52D65U is a middle tier product with ample features and solid performance from a 1st tier manufacturer. The LCD was first introduced in fall of 2008 and is current through the end of 2009. It is designed in Japan and assembled in Mexico with the screen being manufactured in Sharp's Kameyama factory in Japan. Our contrast measurement did not match up with Sharp's claimed contrast ratio of 10,000:1 instead resulting in a post calibration contrast ratio measurement of 101:1. See our complete calibrations here.

The Sharp D65U fared better than average in up conversion processing and input options for this price point, while disappointing somewhat in viewing angle. See our complete review and ratings information here.
