Very good

7.2

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.2 out of 10
Reviewed by David Katzmaier
Review date: 3/1/07
Release date: 2/1/07

The good: Deepest blacks of any non-CRT we've tested yet; resolves every detail of 1080i and 1080p resolution sources; image stays relatively true from off-angle for an LCD TV; excellent connectivity with one DVI and three HDMI inputs; classy styling.

The bad: Expensive; irregular bands across the screen visible in some scenes; inaccurate color temperature; lacks picture-in-picture view.

The bottom line: Problems with screen uniformity spoil the otherwise impressive Sharp LC-52D92U's chances to be counted among the elite flat-panel HDTVs.

Product brief - Sharp LC-52D92U

Hide

Description: The Sharp LC-52D92U is a 52-inch, LCD television. Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $2,150. This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Pros: Has a 52-inch screen size. This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price. With built-in HDTV compatibility, this television can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition. (It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.) The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Ideal for a large room or a home theater. In general, a wide aspect TV such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.

Value: Overall, this TV's features are in line with its price.

Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide . (2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics. Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition .
