Sharp Aquos LC46D92U 46″ LCD Flat Panel HDTV Review

Sharp Aquos LC46D92U 46″ LCD Flat Panel HDTV Feature

• Pixel Resolution 1920×1080 for display resolutions up to 1080p
• Audio System - 15 Watts per channel to 2 speakers for stereo sound
• Brightness 450 cd/m2
• ATSC QAM NTSC Tuners
• Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 15,000 - 1

I spent 8 months reading and waiting and watching the 3 bext LCD tvs in the 46″ arena. And it was SOOO worth the wait!
I weighed the LCD TVs in the areas of HDMI connections, contrast ratio, response time, refresh rate, and a few more -but most importantly watched the price every week from August ‘07 to March ‘08!
The top three brands were Sharp, Toshiba, and Sony using only the top of their lines in the 46″ arena -and watched and waited as all three prices dropped significantly after early Feb (Super Bowl) and saved my self over ,000!
Will update this review after 2 months of using the new TV.
So far:
No banding problems
Great picture after calibrating
Very poor speaker system but adequate if temporary
Easy to assemble stand and speakers
Aboslutely NO glare at all
Great viewing angles
Easy to hook up: DVD, Cable box, Game system

Toshiba 40UX600U 40″ 1080p Full HD LED TV, with Basic Accessory Kit (2 HDMI Cables, 1 RGB Cable, 1 Audio Cable, Plasma / LCD Clean Kit) Overview

Toshiba has made it easy for you by packing the 40UX600U 1080p HD LED TV with the video and audio performance you want and the connectivity options you need to hook up all your gear. If you’re a fan of action films and fast-moving video games, you’ll like the Toshiba’s ClearFrame 120Hz feature. It doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 per second to reduce image lag for a smoother, clearer picture. There’s also a 5:5 pull-down option that displays filmed images in a more realistic 24 fps (frames per second) mode.But that’s not the end of the advanced features you’ll find in the 40UX600U. The set’s LED backlight feature optimizes picture quality by sensing the amount of ambient room lighting and the type of video content you’re watching. DLNA provides the ability to easily stream your favorite content from your PC to your TV. The processing power of Toshiba’s fifth generation engine, PixelPure5G, is at the heart of every REGZA TV.The quality of gradation is not only determined by the panel bit rate, but largely depends on the video processor engine itself. By combining 8-bit panels with PixelPure 5G, the 14-bit internal processing increases the levels of gradation to 4,096. This increased gradation results in a smoother and more natural picture. So don’t worry about making the right choice when it comes to buying an HDTV. The Toshiba 40UX600U has everything you need for years of trouble-free entertainment.

Polaroid 1913-TDXB - 19″ LCD TV with built-in DVD player - widescreen - HDTV Review

Polaroid 1913-TDXB - 19″ LCD TV with built-in DVD player - widescreen - HDTV Feature

I bought two of these TV DVD combos for the extra bedrooms from Target for 0 each. Hooked up the cable and within five minutes (after the TV did the initial channel search setup)it was working perfectly.

I read the other reviews and am not sure what their problem was - I have Comcast Cable in NJ - and it works fine.

There is also a neat USB port where you can put in a memory stick and it will show a picture slide show - kind of a cool thing to do when you have guests coming over!

I usually worry about the audio - no problems on this machine!

Also, when you put it on full screen - it’s not wacky distorted - none of the options for ratio viewing distort the picture.

Polaroid 1913-TDXB - 19″ LCD TV with built-in DVD player - widescreen - HDTV Overview

With no visible cords or wires connecting the DVD player to your LCD, this TV provides the highest performance with a space-saving, hassle-free connection. Other exciting features make this TV/DVD Combo an incredible value.

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-55XBR8 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV Review

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-55XBR8 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV Feature

• 16:9 Full HD 1080p Resolution Panel (1920×1080)
• TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED Backlight Display
• BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor
• Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology
• DMex capable

I bought this tv a few months ago. It has a beautiful picture and I love the look of the tv itself. I currently own a 46 inch xbr2 lcd. I was disappointed that the bezel was scratched right out of the box. After reading some other reviews on the tv I found out it has a plastic covering on the bezel. When that was removed it looked perfect. Two minor areas of concern, the screen is more reflective than the xbr 2 which I don’t like. Not sure why they did that. As some others have mentioned I do notice some motion judder that I did not see on the xbr 2. I primarily see it on the scrolling info line at the bottom of the screen on ESPN. Never saw that on the xbr 2 and this is supposed to have advanced motionflow. Tried the different motion options in the menu and nothing helped. I don’t see any problems when watching program material on satellite or on blu ray however.

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-55XBR8 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV Overview

The Sony BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs represent the next step forward for Sony HDTV technology. Underpinning this advance is the TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED backlight, which utilizes clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce accurate colors and an amazingly realistic image, and employs local dimming to dynamically adjust the brightness of LED clusters, allowing the XBR8 to display deep blacks alongside bright whites for enhanced image depth and exceptional shadow detail. Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology creates new frames to double the frame rate, then uses sequential scanning to enhance motion and deliver a smoother and clearer picture, and 24p True Cinema lets you experience a cinema-like experience. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature the powerful BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor, which creates sharp, crystal-clear images at any resolution, as well as advanced color reproduction technologies including 10-bit processing and a 10-bit panel, Live Color Creation, and x.v.Color capability. DMex functionality lets you expand the capabilities of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series with optional BRAVIA Link modules, including the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately). In addition, the exclusive Xross Media Bar (XMB) user interface, integrated TV Guide Interactive Program Guide, and BRAVIA Sync one-touch component control make the BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs easy to use, and the large number of inputs offer you a wide range of connectivity options. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature an RS-232C connection for integration into home automation systems. You can even customize the timeless design of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series by adding optional speaker grilles available in a selection of designer colors (sold separately).
