Sharp Aquos LC32D64U 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Once again, Sharp, the leader in LCD technology, has established a new design standard for LCD TVs. The new LC32D64U AQUOS raises the bar by fitting a large screen size into a incredibly small footprint. By changing the layout of circuits inside the LCD panel and by cutting the number of parts, Sharp's engineers were able to reduce the depth by 30%, allowing placement of the LC32D64U model in virtually any type setting. The LC32D64U utilizes Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 6ms response time. The LC32D64U is a HDTV with built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC tuners and include 2 HDMI inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs. Side terminals are included for convenience as well as RS-232C input for control. The LC32D64U features a sleek piano black cabinet with subtle, recessed bottom-mounted speakers. Features: 1) Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) Resolution for the sharpest picture possible. 2) 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio and 6ms response time produce spectacular picture quality. 3) Two HDMI Inputs and dual component for the ultimate in terminal flexibility. All inputs are compatible with 1080p sources. 4) Wide Viewing Angles (176°H x 176°W) Sharp's AQUOS viewing angles are so wide, you can view the TV clearly from practically anywhere in the room. 5) Enhanced Black Level provides the deepest, most accurate black of any flat panel TV. 6) High Brightness (450 cd/m2) AQUOS LCD Televisions are very bright. You can put them virtually anywhere – even near windows, doors or other light sources – and the picture is still vivid. 7) Built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC Tuners provide access to DTV and analog TV channels. 8) AQUOS engine with ASV technology provides high performance video processing for the brightest, most vivid colors and images.

This 32" 1080p was purchased to use in a presentation kiosk and is connected to a PC and DVD player (upconverts to 1080p) via the HDMI connectors. The output from both sources is excellent. The 1920 x 1080 resolution from the PC is cystal clear and the sound is better than expected. I'm very happy with this LCD HDTV. 32 of 34 people found the following review helpful. Great Picture By Jack This is my first hdtv and the word that comes to mind to best describe its image quality is "crisp." You will definitely see everything your picture source has to offer. And even many analog cable channels look better on this set than they do on my old 32" Sony CRT model. The many available inputs allow you to hook up just about any peripheral you want. The sound quality from the built-in speakers is better than you might expect, especially considering their size. This model is also quite "green" as, according to my Kill-A-Watt electricity monitor, it consumes only 18 Watts when turned off and 183 Watts when operating. What's not to like? The manual is somewhat skimpy and unclear in some areas. The placement of the buttons on the remote could have been more user-friendly, as the ones you use the most are close to less-used buttons. Operating this remote by touch only, without looking to see what you're pressing, is fairly difficult. And changing channels can take several seconds, especially when going from a digital to an analog channel, and vice-versa. This is common with many brands, however. Otherwise, no complaints and I'd definitely buy a Sharp hdtv again. 34 of 38 people found the following review helpful. What a great tv/computer monitor! By Jay By the time I came home from work, my wife and 12-year-old had it out of the box and attached to the cable. We moved our MacMini to the living room, used a DVI-HDMI converter ($20 from Target) and a HDMI cable to hook the computer up to the "tv." The 1920x1080 makes for a very nice big space to work/view. Now my daughter watches old tv shows off the web and we have a second computer for those times when one of the kids is desperate to finish their homework. One important note for computer use: on first use as a monitor, click "View Mode" on the tv remote, select "Dot for Dot" to view the whole 1920x1080. Great picture, no dead pixels--this Sharp Aquos met all our expectations. Highly recommended. See all 56 customer reviews...
