 INCREDIBLE PICTURE !Aug 31, 2009
I recently purchased this television for my restaurant and have recieved rave reviews from all of our patrons. The picture quality is the very best for a 65 inch LCD. This Sharp Aquos television deserves a solid 5 star rating. Great for watching sports!

Amazing quality and perfect sizeAug 25, 2009
I bought this unit because I wanted a television that would give me a home theater experience without converting my basement family room into a media room. It's the perfect size for that...large enough to view movies and play video games with astonishing definition and theater presence without overwhelming the room. I'm amazed myself I'm saying a 65 inch television doesn't dominate the room but that's how far we've come in the last 10 years regarding what we expect from a television experience. I don't know anything about refresh rates or response times...I have a plasma..a 47 inch in our bedroom and the picture quality is no different. The only complaint I have regarding the change from a plasma to an LCD is that at angles to the viewing screen, some definition is lost with the LCD. Other than that, I am completely satisfied.

What a great TV!Jul 08, 2009
I got a great deal on this TV! I was hoping it would go on sale again here on Amazon but it has been unavailable for awhile now, but I happened to be shopping over the weekend, and saw this TV as a "Open Box Deal" that had been a floor model.
I paid $1,599 for it, and bought a extra 3 year warranty for $400.
I would be currious if anyone else got it any cheaper that that! thats about the same price I bought my 46" LCD in my bedroom awhile back.
I have not seen any banding issues or dead pixels, and I am using settings that someone posted on AVS forum, and it looks allot better than I was able to get it.
If anyone is interested I can post those settings here.
 Solid performerJul 07, 2009
Bought the LC 65D64U to accommodate a large great room. I have another 45" AQUOS so my expectations from Sharp were fairly high. Although I was probably more impressed with the 45" picture quality (first flat LCD), the 65" has solid picture quality, easy to navigate on-screen set up and Sharp support.
One note..as you'd expect, this thing really enlarges the picture, so if you have poor signal input (i.e. not HiDef or HDMI) the poorer picture quality is magnified to 65" and seems more noticeable than the 45" or smaller sets.... I guess size does matter. When running Blu-Ray input and connected to home theatre it is a treat. You might as well save the $10, wait for the Blu-Ray and enjoy the movie at home! i have only noticed limited banding, but that seemed to be resolved with a quick visit from cable provider who tightened the connection.
We got very quick delivery via Amazon preferred partner, quick shipping and help with setting the beast up on the stand. Only negative was that the shippers didn't notice they took the remote control with them (was taped to the inside of the box) so i was unable to set up the set for ~1.5 weeks until we could get another via vendor (they had to order from Sharp).
all in all, good LCD and will likely be in use for years to come

Beyond beliefJun 28, 2009
I was able to order this 65" SE94U model from Sharp from the Magnolia store at Best Buy... floor model, but with extended warranty from dtvexpress.com, I should be fine. After finally configuring the settings (see below), I was absolutely floored by the view. Because this is a larger tv, SD broadcasts do not look as good as on smaller TVs. That's common sense since defects on larger TVs will show more (kind of like magnifying a mediocre image rather than looking at a high resolution version of that same image). If you're buying a TV and do not watch HD content as much, then don't waste your money unless you'll be watching blu-ray. Also, distance from the TV to your seat needs to be about 15' for full appreciation. The 120hz does not make much difference on this TV since it does not have anti-judder technology... in other words, it helps the image by about 15% or so... you can see that at work in the TV's demo mode. I was expecting almost no blurring unlike what was present in the older 60hz TVs, but that's not the case... at first I was disappointed, but after calibrating it and such, the image is JUST RIDICULOUS!!! I was able to look past the fact that I didn't get 100% no blurring. If you're looking for no blurring in a TV, look for some type of anti-judder technology along with 120hz+ refresh rate.
I had to get an LCD due to having a VERY bright room... plasmas and all the newer LCDs have a high gloss screen that reflects light... this one does not have that. The new LG LED LCDs dont have the glossy screen either, but they're not out yet... and the largest size is 55".
