65″ LCD TV Reviews

Filed Under 65 inch LCD TV, LCD TV Reviews

Here are two examples of 65″ LCD TVs - a Sony Bravia and a Sharp Aquos. As usual, the Sony TV is the most expensive, so it’s up to you to decide whether you think its worth the extra $$.

For a TV of this size and price, you definitely need to go along and have a look at it, so you can judge the picture and sound quality and the feature set provided.

At the other end of the price scale, at the time of writing you can buy a 65-inch 1080p LCD TV for only $2300! This particular TV is from Olevia, which probably isn’t the greatest brand, because its parent company recently filed for bankruptcy . . . but hey it’s cheap!

The LC-65D64U uses Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View / Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology. This provides 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 4ms response time.

The LC-65D64U also features:

Built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners
3 HDMI (version 1.3) inputs, compatible with 1080p signals
X.V. Color, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs.

User reviews include comments such as:

“We found the picture and everything else about this HDTV nothing short of amazing. We shopped extensively and looked at many other large screen flat panels, and nothing compares to this for the money.”
“Buy this TV! It’s a great TV for the price. You won’t regret it. I had a Sony LCD, 4 years old, and this is a dramatic improvement, blacker blacks, contrast is incredible.”
“The Aquos 65 requires a bit more adjusting on colors (than a Panasonic), but I’m completely satisfied with the results. Using basic adjustments got to good quality, and the advanced adjustments should be enough for anyone to reach just the right results.”
“The picture is beautiful, but the fumes from the set are noxious. The odor gets overpowering and nauseating after the TV is on for a short while.” (A few people complained about the odor and this was the worst case).

Good shopping.
