I Love this 52" 1080p LCD

I have owned this TV for about a month and I can honestly say I would highly recommend it. There are plenty of people at avsforum complaining about banding and I must say you would have to struggle to ever see any. I think most these guys are looking for problems instead of enjoying the TV. They do have great calibration settings though. Trust me though I compared Samsung, Sony, and Sharp and for the price hands down the best deal out there! Samsung and Sony have clouding issues and this TV doesn't. By far this TV has an amazing picture with the 120hz and 4ms response. I watch MLB, Golf, and movies in HD and it is amazing. Truly the best HDTV I have seen for sports or movies.

3 HDMI ports, and 2 composite are also 1080p. If not having a computer hookup scares you off know this TV was made to handle one so just buy an DVI-HDMI adapter and enjoy. I Watch DVD's with a normal DVD that up converts and it looks great. SD shows look as good as any LCD I have ever seen. You won't go wrong with this TV buy it and enjoy the best black levels you will see on an LCD and the first I chose over a plasma. AWESOME TV!

I have had my Sharp LC-52D82U for more than a month now. I have compared it to Samsung 50 Plasma (5054) and Samsung DLP and many other. Except for the black level, Sharp picture hands down is better and more fun to watch. Colors are bright and vivid. Action is great and with 120 Hz refresh rate - the fast motion is great. CNET talks about banding - I have no idea what they are referring to. I have not seen any banding or color non-uniformity. I have no idea why C-net has raised the flag on Sharps larger units??? Compared to the latest LCD's from Samsung with clear glass (71's and 81's), Samsung has more fluid picture but the reflection and cost are the big disadvantages, not to mention whites on Samsung tend to have a brown tone. The remote and adjustments on this are somewhat limited and not intuitive. The access to the inputs is fine unless you intend to mount it ( not the case for me). Over all this is one great TV for the price...I am sure like all hi tech electronics, in a near future, a newer technology will top it...But until then this will be a top of the line unit...
Satisfied

I am very pleased with the Sharp Aquos performance. My first choice was actually a Sony Bravia but the price and performance that Sharp had to offer could not compare. I was also a bit leery about making such a big electronic purchase online but the product came as expected and without any problems. Satisfied.
This LCD HDTV rocks!!

What more needs to be said? This thing is awesome! The picture is phenomenal. Easy set-up. Terrific anti-glare. Even good surround sound (if you don't have another system in place). Highly recommend it. There's a reason why it is considered one of the best on the market.
Great HDTV

We have had this TV for about 5 months and the picture is great. We mounted it on our fireplace just above the mantle used the hollow underside of the mantle to hide the HDMI and power cords. I'm not a tech person but sports and movies have been wonderful.
Sharp satisfaction

read the reviews, did the research, took a chance and purchased through amazon and their affiliates. It was a wonderful experience. No hard sell for anything like you would find if you purchased from some of those other sites. About the only down side is the screen reflects a muted shine from a light that the prior TV (panasonic plasma)did not reflect.
Very satisfied with the TV

I am very happy with the product. it is easy to set up and once I hook it up with a blue ray player, I was amazed by the quality of the pictures.

I saw some other brands that are cheaper than sharp but you get a much better TV with sharp.
Sharp Aqous LC52D82U Excellent!

About one year ago I purchased the Sharp 52" LCD TV. I am very happy with this purchase. The picture has excellent sharpness and color, with no color banding as experienced with some of the earlier versions.

This TV has performed perfectly with no problems. A very nice feature of this TV is the automatic picture level control, which controls the level of brightness of the video under variable room lighting conditions, especially on a partly cloudy day, when the lighting constantly changes.

The audio is good if you do not use maximum bass setting, as setting bass level too high overdrives the built-in speakers at high audio levels. The audio is surprisingly good at normal settings with the bottom mounted internal speakers.

Don't be afraid to explore all the video settings to achieve the picture that will please you, as it takes some experimenting to get this right, but it's worth it.

I highly recommend this TV after using it for almost one year. This is my 3rd Sharp TV....all with excellent reliability.
Great picture, a few nits

First and foremost, the picture is wonderful. The color, brightness, viewing angle, etc., are all terrific. That said, there are a couple of things I found annoying and perplexing...

1. When mounted on the wall, the power, inputs, and outputs are all unreachable. If you need to add or change a cable, it means pulling the TV of of the wall. It would have been much better if all of the connections were placed along the side or bottom, so that they were accessible while the unit was on the wall.

2. The mount points for the wall mount are too close together. This leads to the TV feeling wobbly when mounted on the wall. I guess it's secure, but the amount of play doesn't instill much confidence.

All-in-all, I'm very happy with the TV. It's just a shame Sharp didn't put a little more thought into the physical design of the unit.
Great tv, great price

Of the four generations of Sharp Aquos HD televisions, this is the third generation and the first to actually get the picture right. Yea, you can spend more on the latest and greatest, but with the full 1080p that this tv gives you, you WILL NOT be regretting this purchase.

And on top of that, you save a ton of money getting it here than at say a best buy. I was a little weary as a first time amazon customer for a big purchase, but everything worked out great.
