LC42D65U is a good buy. Good picture, great input options January 8, 2009 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this TV for about 2 weeks now. I ordered from Amazon for <$900 with free shipping. This TV is definitely a good value for the price, IMO. The input options is probably the best feature with 5 HDMI ports, VGA ports, etc.
The OOB picture settings were just ok, IMO. The automatic backlight adjustment from the OPC was irritating for me, so I turned it off. Also, the colors were just too bright, to the point that it looked artificial. After a bit of tweaking with the picture settings, it's at a point where it finally looks good. In short, I'd say it was a good value for the money, but definitely requires some calibration before you get it right.
This is not the same as the LC42D64U. December 17, 2008 7 out of 16 found this review helpful
If you check the specs on the Sharp web site, you will see that there are different specs relating to the 64U and 65U models. The 64U has a slightly better response time and backlight system.
65U is a downgrade from 64U? December 8, 2008 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Just want to warn you out there - the 65U is probably a downgrade from the 64U (instead of upgrade), as the 65U uses an 8-bit panel which seems to be inferior to the 10-bit panel used by the 64U.
Great product, crystal clear picture quality November 10, 2008 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
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.
2008 version of 64U November 3, 2008 34 out of 38 found this review helpful
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.
