Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U Review

The Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U

When it comes to LCD HDTVs, brand names like Samsung, Sony and Panasonic come to mind readily, but Sharp, although relatively not as prominent as the others, has been making LCDs ever since 1988, which gives it an edge over the other companies. This edge is most apparent in the Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U.

Design

The design of the LC-52D85U is relatively simple, with nothing to make it stand out from the rest of the crowd, which is why it is one of its weak points. Its remote control also falls short in its design, with buttons that are rather small but not all cramped together. Its backlight illuminates only a few buttons, the labels of which are located on the body of the remote and cannot be seen in the dark even with the backlight on. On the upside, the remote control is a universal remote control and can handle up to four other devices other than the TV.

The menu system of the Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U also falls a bit short. The menu remains fixed on the screen, preventing you from getting a better view of the picture as you adjust the settings. When trying to switch between inputs, you may be confused at first because the inputs are only labeled as Input1, Input2, etc instead of more descriptive names like A/V input or HDMI. But once you figure out which input is which, you have the option to rename them to more descriptive names.

Screen/Picture Clarity

The picture quality on the Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U is comparable to more expensive LCD HDTVs. It comes with a standard 120Hz refresh rate, which coupled with

Sharp’s Fine Motion Enhanced, gives you scenes that do not get blurry with high motion as with other LCD HDTVs. This LCD HDTV also comes with a 10-bit LCD screen, which you find in higher priced HDTVS, that gives you smoother gradients in colors. The picture quality can also be enhanced due to the menu option which gives the user greater control over the hue and saturation of each color.

The only weakness of the video quality of the LC-52D85U is the black levels. The blacks are not as deep as those found in other LCD HDTVs. Other than the bright blacks, this LCD HDTV provides crisp, clear pictures with high detail and vivid colors.

Features

The Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U comes with the standard connections found on any other HDTV, except that it comes with an extra HDMI connection which gives you the

option to connect five HDMI devices to the TV. Though it was nice of Sharp to include another HDMI connection, it does not come with a USB, ethernet or card reader that would allow you to show off your pictures. This TV also comes with a backlight that can dynamically change according to the ambient lighting of the room, which means no more manual adjusting of brightness whenever the light changes in the room during the day just to see the picture on the screen. Along with the Optical Picture Control, this TV not only gives you good quality pictures, but also helps you save the environment and money by cutting down its power consumption.

Another added feature on the LC-52D85U is the Aquos Link. Much like Panasonic’s Vierra Link, the Aquos Link gives you the option of controlling your HD devices with just a touch of a button. So after watching your favorite Blu-Ray movie, just turn off your HDTV or your Blu-Ray player, and all other HD devices will shut down, saving you the trouble of turning off each device one at a time.

The LC-52D85U does have some design issues especially with the remote control and the system menus. Even with such shortcomings, though, the relatively lower price and very high picture quality of the Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U more than make up for its weak points.

After some research, I found myself having decided LN46A650 â? | Unfortunately, the argument has been exposed so that the Series B, the problem may years. The LN46B650 is more expensive for the same features of its predecessor. Willing to pay the price, I decided to go with the LN46B550, crossing fingers and hoping that emphasize the lack of 120Hz technology make a difference. Guess' on? | NO. The image of the B550 is the best thing we can get this price (trust me, I have) a search. Has a lot to adjust the image, better contrast than its predecessor, a good design, and is cheap! Buy! But make sure that a sound system, because the speaker is terrible on this TV. Not a lot of anger, but I do not think that anyone who buys a luxury television, the picture, and television. Could not be happier with this TV. E 'â? Truly exceptional. I fell between the present and the same model of Sony. I literally selected a better rating. The ordering process was quick and easy, and 48 hours later I received a call from CEVA delivery service, the planning period, the white gloves â? Delivery. This is a dish. When the â? White glove service, a? Says a friend who asks him: â? What do you do? â? while in the lobby of his building was really one? white. â? After walking for 15 meters in my living room, I only need to sign the documents and then wait for a head. I asked if I could open and kind of looked at me as if I were heavily distorted. He said forget it, signed and said: â? Thank youâ ????. The moral of this story is not to expect much in terms of one? Whitei ????. Mr. Belvedere is not television. On the whole, satisfied with the thought TV, but twice, before ordering things large and expensive Amazon.
