The newest AQUOS series feature a next-generation Advanced Super View LCD panel that delivers full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution for the fastest response rates and highest contrast ratio for the sharpest possible picture.

Full HD Resolution
Simply put, nothing competes to the AQUOS 1080p full high definition experience. You enjoy HDTV in its purest, most exhilarating form. True 16:9 widescreen provides a cinematic experience optimized for your natural line of sight. And AQUOS 1080p delivers twice the digital and double resolution of 720p HDTV.

Resolution describes the number of pixels on a digital television screen. More pixels give the picture more lifelike detail. Higher pixel density provides added clarity for digital TV, DVD, and HDTV. This fine resolution means you can view the large screen even from a close distance. For example, you can comfortably view a 45-inch screen from about 5.6-feet away.

AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions deliver very high resolutions for a clear, smoother picture. Our widescreen models meet the highest standards for HDTV viewing and provide a true 16:9 aspect ratio. With stunning resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, they capture the full excitement and intensity of high definition.

Contrast and Brightness
Sharp’s D62U series of liquid crystal Televisions offer the industry’s highest native contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and highest dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1. With these superior contrast levels, you can enjoy a quality viewing experience in any viewing environment. Sharp’s new proprietary Advanced Superior View/Black TFT Panel decreases color shift, enabling a high native contrast ratio of 2,000:1. Native contrast is the contrast within one image frame. Sharp’s new proprietary Enhanced Picture Contrast technology results in a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1. Dynamic contrast is the contrast between the lightest and darkest colors AQUOS can display. Enhanced picture Contrast detects the black level characteristics of the image source and dynamically adjusts the backlighting accordingly to display deeper blacks.

Four Spectrum Color:
Sharp has added a deep crimson to the three standard primary colors of blue green and red on all AQUOS models. This four-wavelength backlight beautifully reproduces all the varied skin tones, making people’s skin look fresher and more lively, and objects such as red wine look deeper and riper. This is only possible by broadening the color range.

Glare reduction:
AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions feature a low-reflection Black TFT panel that reduces the glare of ambient light, no matter where the light is coming from or how much light is present in the room. Even in a bright, sunlit room, AQUOS glare reduction ensures crisp images.

Fluid Motion:
AQUOS technology has improved its response time to 4ms, #1 in the industry for Liquid Crystal TV, and compatible with CRT technology. With less residual image on screen, AQUOS is perfect for watching fast-moving images such as sports, movies with subtitles, video games, and action movies.

Black is back. And better than ever.
In a world where color trends come and go, Sharp is excited to introduce its new contemporary classic—the D62U Series. With screen sizes of 42-, 46- and 52-inches, the D62U Series offers the most elegant, cutting-edge flat panel televisions available. This series sets new standards in HDTV style and innovation, with a striking piano black finish, subtly recessed speakers, brilliant color reproduction and spectacular picture quality. In addition to providing a high contrast ratio, the newest AQUOS® series includes a next-generation Advanced Super View LCD panel that delivers 1080p full spec HD (1920 x 1080) resolution for the sharpest possible picture. Plus, its Multi-Pixel Technology* significantly improves color reproduction at virtually every viewing angle. The dual HDMI™ inputs are compatible with 1080p sources such as Blu-ray™ players. All of this means that, through the AQUOS, there is always more to see.

AQUOS Advanced Technology
Great style and performance do not just happen. It takes a commitment to quality, an incredibly talented team of professionals and a vision for innovation. Sharp, a global leader in Liquid Crystal Televisions year after year, brings all of this and more to our technology, continually raising the bar for outstanding quality and high performance.

• Multi-Pixel Technology: By dividing each pixel into two sections and developing an advanced driving system, Sharp’s new Multi-Pixel Technology delivers more natural and accurate color reproduction when viewing the screen from virtually any angle. This technology improves extreme-angle viewing by approximately 60 percent.
• Next-Generation Advanced Super View LCD Panel: The purest whites. The deepest blacks. The most vivid range of color. That’s what comes with Sharp’s innovative LCD panel technology. The panel uses an enhanced color filter that allows greater light transmission—providing a greater native contrast ratio of up to 2000:1 and a response time as quick as 4ms for true film-like smoothness. This means richer color and a more accurate, more brilliant depiction of the world on screen.
• Four-Wavelength Backlight System: The conventional three-wavelength red, green and blue LCD backlight just got better. Sharp has vastly improved natural color reproduction with the development of its four-wavelength backlight system, adding a remarkably vivid crimson red to the palette—and changing the way LCD TV is viewed. The LC-57D90U takes the technology a step further with a five-wavelength backlight system, adding an even deeper green. With Sharp, the color possibilities are endless.

The most advanced facility for the integrated manufacture of LCD TVs.
The Sharp Liquid Crystal Television plant in Kameyama, Japan, represents the ultimate example of economic efficiency, social mindedness and environmental conservation. Combining Sharp’s vast experience and knowledge in R&D and mass production, including 50 years of TV and 30 years of LCD production, the Sharp Kameyama plant is a world-class facility for the manufacture and assembly of LCD panels.

Continuing its leadership, Sharp will open a second plant at Kameyama in October 2006. This will be the world’s first facility to adopt 8th generation glass substrates, which are roughly twice as large as the substrates used in the number one plant. Plant number two is specially designed for the production of glass for LC-TV screen sizes in the 40-inch through 50-inch range and will provide a steady supply of medium to large panels to respond to the growing worldwide demand for digital and high definition compatible flat panel televisions.

The most advanced technology to minimize environmental impact
The Kameyama plant was designed as a "Super Green Factory." A cogeneration system and a photovoltaic power generation system supply the plant with approximately one-third of its energy needs. Combined with a waste-heat recovery system that transforms waste heat into air conditioning, Sharp reduces CO2 emissions by 40 percent per year. In addition, the plant collects all the wastewater from the production process and recycles it using water purification technology. Via its Super Green Strategy, by the year 2010, Sharp plans to completely offset its production of greenhouse gas emissions by way of energy savings from new energy-efficient products and energy creation through the proliferation of Sharp solar cells.

Features

• Full HD Spec 1080p (1920 x 1080) Resolution for the sharpest picture possible.
• Next-Generation 16:9 ASV LCD Panel from Sharp’s brand-new state-of-the-art Kameyama II factory, producing a native Contrast Ratio of 2000:1 and a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 10,000:1 with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and a 4ms response time.
• Multi-Pixel Technology divides each pixel into two sections and adds an advanced driving system to provide 60% improved color reproduction at wide viewing angles.
• Wide Viewing Angles (176º H x 176º W) Sharp’s AQUOS viewing angles are so wide, you can view the TV clearly from practically anywhere in the room.
• Enhanced Black Level provides the deepest, most accurate black of any LC-TV.
• Four-wavelength Backlight System enables the display of very deep crimson reds, widening the available color spectrum.
• High Brightness (450 cd/m2) AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions are very bright. You can put them virtually anywhere – even near windows, doors or other light sources – and the picture is still vivid.
• Built-in ATSC / QAM / NTSC Tuners provide access to DTV and analog TV channels.

I shopped around and just couldnt find anything better for the price. One thing I do wish it had is PIP. I have my PS3, HDTV cable box and my PC hooked up to my 52” screen and everything looks great. Call of Duty Four looks amazing. I wish I wouldve waited a couple of months and saved $500.

I purchased this T V after weeks of searching for the right one for my 24′ X 24′ Family room. It took no time to get it to me. But, sad to say that in 5 days the screen went black and I only had sound. I called Sharp and after seven days they still had not gotten to me to actually fix it.( You need to remember that when items are shipped by Truck things can happen) I contacted Tiger Direct and was well pleased when the lady told me I could have it exchanged, charged to my credit card, and they would have the damaged one picked up. This was done after 4PM and yet shipping orders were started that evening.( This was through Christmas and New Years) When received with my RMA# my credit card will be credited. I have purchased other things from Tiger Direct.com and plan to do so in the future. We LOVE our 52” Sharp Aquos. THANKS TIGER DIRECT. You saved us $1,700. locally. Their cost was $2,618. before taxes. Far less than your price of $1,999.

After comparing many different manufacturers, I decided that, for my purposes, the features and qualities of each LCD for a given screen size were so similar that I could select on price alone. I choose the Sharp Aquos 52 inch based on price ($1999.00 from Tiger Direct). Having purchased electronic from Tiger Direct in the past, I had no hesitation in ordering the TV from them. I purchased the TV just after Christmas and received it approximately 11 daya later. The TV meets or exceeds all of my expectations and it saved me over $600.00 from local retailer prices. I suggest that, if you want a wall mount, you shop around since other Web sites do have better prices that those of Tiger Direct. In addition the model number is LC-52D62U. This is the 2006 Model and has a single tuner. Sharp has other versions of the LC-52 as identified by the ”D” variant (D64U, D62U, D43U, and D82U). These variants refer to the model year and the number of tuners.

The price was right, and also nice quality. Even recordings i have that are not HDTV look awesome, video at 16:9 fills the entire screen perfectly. I also found out it has a build in HDTV tuner, so I don’t need the box from my cable company. My old 27” LCD looks like a shoe box next to this one.

First of all the box it is shipping in was VERY good. Very protected. Out of the box the TV is amazing. I am a HDTV Trainer, so when I say this is a great buy, I mean it. I bought it for $1999 the day after thanksgiving, and worth every penny. The upscaling on this baby is a pro. The SuperBlack Technology is instantly noticeable, making the dark scenes darker, and the lighter scenes brighter. Watching 1080i or 1080p in this thing is out of this world! Highly recommended!

I have had mine for about 2 weeks. The price has even went down since then. Come on Tiger Direct how about a discount. This TV is Great. The Picture is Big and clear. I got the extended warranty and you should too. This is the second TV I have bought from Tiger and the first one was a 32” and it came UPS. This being bigger will come Yellow Freight. Everthing worked out they brought the box to my Apartment door. If you live on a second or third floor be prepared to have a friend help you carry it up. I was lucky because I stay on a first floor. The TV was bigger then I had imagined and the picture is really good. Sound is a little less then I had hope. Still good but I think more comes out the back then front sometimes. For the price you are getting a Killer TV. I paid 2400 and its cheaper now. Remember to keep you box and stuff because tiger will replace it within 30 days but you need that stuff. Good Shopping.

A FANTASTIC buy for $2500. This 1080P LCD is what you buy HDTV for. Blacks are black. Colors are rich and vibrant. No ghosting. No pixelation. And it looks good when it’s off. I’ve owned this set since Xmas ‘06 and it is really nice. Would recommend. Would buy again. This unit is every bit as nice as the Sony that costs almost twice as much. But I didn’t buy because I wanted a unit ”almost” as good to save a few bucks, I bought the best looking unit I could. Saving a couple of thousand was an unexpected bonus. If you are in the market for an LCD, this is a steal of a deal. There is a slightly updated model out now for a bit more money, so check out the new features vs the price. Honestly, I have not felt I wanted any additional features. Plenty of connections for my HD DVR,DVD and surround sound system.
