Great picture, a few features missing November 19, 2008
J. Suppe (New York)
From a geek perspective: br / br /This TV gives a great picture. It has so far been great for me and outperforms my roommates 1yr old Bravia XBR in a few areas. I was holding off for many months from buying and finally these were reduced to a reasonable price-size ratio. I couldn't give 5 stars because there are several cons- none of which are deal breakers but they broke my heart to be missing or incomplete. Overall, great set and I highly recommend over anything else on the market for quality and looks, although as far as usability features go they could be refined a bit more. br / br / As noted in there are some cons which I will reiterate here as well: br / br /Pro: br /- Great contrast ratio. br /- Size of the bordering on the set are small. br /- No LED lit logo (sony's do that). br /- Plenty of inputs. br /- Great motion response: games look great. Great response in general actually: over a 25' VGA cable it looks great as a computer monitor. br /- Audio input for couple with VGA input. br /- RS232 port and decent specifications in the documentation to control the set. br /- Detachable speakers br / br /Cons: br /- No Picture in Picture: with so much screen, only one input at a time? br /- No labeling of inputs: If your input is not digital it won't know what it is. br /- PC inputs are limited in resolution: Even though it is not practical to scale up to 1080p for VGA and be visible, it would be nice- especially since the set is tauted as being 'Full 1080'. Although it does function and look nice at lower resolutions, not all of them are supported. br /- No DVI. br /- Speakers are not as great as they could be, although this set begs for wall mount and speaker removal (they are removable). br /- One feature of this thing is the 'Net' which is a really dumb downed slow web utility to view 'widgets' like current weather, stock prices, etc. Usability of this feature is not so great and it is too slow to be purposeful. Would be great if it were always on and customizable (email notifications would be great).

The picture on this TV is absolutely beautiful. I bought an Aquos Blu-Ray player at the same time and the two together are absolutely amazing. This TV does an amazing job with HD signals but it is also impressive in displaying analog signals without looking pixellated. I pump my audio through a home theater system so I can't say much about the speaker. br / br /The only thing that makes me knock a star off is that there is no picture-in-picture capability. Originally, I hadn't thought about it since I don't use PIP much but it would be nice to have.
Very Happy with this TV August 8, 2008

I've only had the Sharp Aquos LC52SE94U a few days, but here is my initial impression. First I'll say, so far, I'm very happy with this TV. br / br /Good points br /The Sharp Aquos LC52SE94U has an extremely good picture quality (of course), and very bright. Even on standard cable it looks very good. br /When watch analog channels you can see a small amount of pixelazation cause by the low resolution on a very large screen, but you really have to look for it. br /When you watch HD channels the picture is far better than you can imagine. br /The Smart Stretch option which causes 4:3 to be viewed at 16:9 works really well, often it is difficult to tell the screen was stretched. br /A bonus to me was when I scanned for channels I found I have about 50 digital channels and at least 10 of them in high def. This is good news, I just have standard (analog) cable. br /Very good sound quality using the factory speakers, not audiophile quality, but as good as any TVs speakers I've ever heard. br /The screws and tools you need to mount the base and the speakers on the TV come packaged very nicely together. Very professional job of packaging. br / br /Low points br /I was disappointed to find the Aquos did not have channel labeling (on analog channels - digital channels self label). I use this feature a lot, and I have grown use to having it on my past TVs. So, now I'm forced to write my channels down on a piece of paper so I know which is which (of course this is a moot point if you are using digital cable). br /The menu control to disable a channel is cumbersome at best. br /I don't like the way the power cord plugs in, it doesn't seem very secure for a unit designed to hang on the wall. br / br /

I found the buying experience through Amazon's authorized retailer to be great. I was a bit nervous about spending such a large amount of money with a retailer I knew nothing about but the transaction was perfect. As for the TV. I don't know much about the tech side but the picture quality is outstanding. I did start out with the analog cable but upgraded to digital 1080p and found the money is well worth it. The TV needs to be fed the high quality signal to perform at its best.
