The gloss black is appealing but not overbearing. The styling of this LCD television is very attractive. Color information appeared over saturated on the whole, but there is a lot of it! This could be due to the 60hz refresh rate that this Sharp LCD TV has (some manufacturers are now producing units with 120hz). I know, I know, this is not supposed to be the case - especially with a 65" LCD TV!! But nevertheless it is the truth.ĭespite Sharp's claimed 4-millisecond response rate time, one problem that remained with all signals was motion lag. In a blind guess test, when toggling back and forth between 720p/1080i/1080p, the 3 reviewers were unable to consistently discern the difference between the three signals - even preferring the 1080i signal much of the time. With 1080p there was no graininess and motion artifacts but colors seem over saturated and less realistic. There was still very slight graininess with a 1080i signal but the color information appeared more realistic and pleasing to the viewers. The picture on all three of these resolutions was very crisp, but slightly different as we viewed different scenes from the 1080p version of Black Hawk Down. Next we tried a 720p/1080i/1080p signal through a Blu Ray player. Strong points were viewing angle, little to no glare, and deep black levels. We also noticed loss of detail in shadow areas. Extending the viewing distance to 15 feet helped a lot to diminish the appearance of motion artifacts but they were still visible. From under 10 feet the 65" LCD struggled to smoothly up convert to it's native 1080p resolution. There was much apparent graininess and dithering artifacts while viewing the matted version of Risky Business. After all, most DVDs are not available on Blu Ray or HD DVD right now. The first input signal I tested with this magnificent LCD TV was a lowly 480p signal from a simple old Sony DVD player. Lower to -7 (sharpness is particularly important to lower to create a more realistic picture) This was my preference to try to bring some definition into dark shadow material. The Backlight Feature is preset to +16 (Max). Then, back in the normal picture menu change the LCDs settings as follows: Adjust the color temp to the low setting (reddish white). This is not an excellent result and will appear slightly pink until the viewer gets used to it.įirst press the menu button and scroll to the Advance settings. This was the closest we could get to the optimum D6500K without entering the service menu. Using a Sencore color generator and analyzer we first calibrated the Sharp LCD to D6765K. The LC-65D93U that we tested was manufactured in Japan. Sharp is working on the introduction of the worlds largest LCD at 108". Samsung, Sony, and LG are all LCD competitors as well as some burgeoning 2nd tier manufacturers. They focus attention on LCD products and improving particular (weakness) aspects of LCD products such as response rate time, black levels, and viewing angle and the end products show it. Sharp is as cutting edge as manufacturer's come in the video flat panel (especially LCD) world. It remains the largest available LCD television on the market. The Sharp LC-65D93U replaced the Sharp LC-65D90U as the current model in the late spring of 2007. 5 device universal backlit remote controlĬolor: Black lacquer finish all the way even the stand 3 HDMI inputs as well as RS232, component and 2 component.
