Digital camera reviews of Sharp Aquos LC42D62U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Digital camera Review: 1080i Plasma v.s 1080p LCD
Summary: 3 Stars
Ive been harrassed and told by my friends to get an LCD HDTV, these guys should be in the LCD HDTV fan club. Me out of the group Ive always been the Plasma TV guy. So after seeing 1080p LCD's were available I jumped on this Sharp Aquos model. The design was a beauty for sure, the setup with the blu-ray they had at stores was amazing so I purchased it.
I hooked up the Sharp, with two top of the line Monster HDMI cables. I also have Dish Network w. HD. After my initial start up powering the TV to satelite TV I was unimpressed. The image did not look as crisp and sharp as my Plasma, the dark images on the screen were a joke compared to my Plasma. To get the best crisp image you basically have to be 8 feet away, if you get up close in the 1-4 foot boundary and especially when your angled you can very clearly see all the pixels. Now I'm sure your wondering if I messed around with the settings, I spent about 3 hours tampering with the settings and this improved slightly better but still nothing compared to a Plasma. Keep in mind these were all standard channels, HD channels were great..but there's only a handful of HD channels made available by any provider. Basically Plasma w. HD Channels are the same quality or better, and the standard channels on Plasma are no match for a 1080p LCD.
Now to the DVD comparison in which the LCD wins ofcourse, obviously. I inserted a blu-ray disc in my PS3. The picture is amazing, this is where an LCD wins as of now. My only thought was wait till Plasma 1080p's are out on the market.
I know the LCD tops the Plasma with the DVD quality but overall the Plasma is stil better. I watch a lot of television, and the poor standard channel quality on LCD are unacceptable. I have passed this TV on to my brother and I will be keeping the Plasma for now until more 1080p Plasma's are released.
QUESTION: I looked online, through the Sharp manual. I am searching for a code to hookup the Satelite functions into the Sharp remote control. In the manual there is no Dish Network code, the manufacture of the Dish HD box is not on the manual so if anyone has integrated their Dish w. their Sharp remote please let me know.
