The LC-46D92U is an HDTV with built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and includes 3 HDMI inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, 1 DVI-I and 2 HD 1080p component video inputs, as well as RS-232C for PC control. The LC-46D92U features a sleek piano black cabinet with detachable, recessed bottom-mounted speakers, and the included table stand easily removes for wall mounting applications.
I bought this tv 2 yrs ago when it first came out and there was seemingly nothing else like it availble on the market. I say this because all my friends who had hdtvs could not believe the picture and all preferred mine.
When I bought this model it was selling for $3000 pretty much everywhere and to be able 2 buy this unit for just about half of that now is a no brainer 2 me. My friends have all been envious of me ever since I got this tv.
I did read one other review here on amazon that said the sound on this tv is terrible and it definitely is. Barely usable for the few days before I got a receiver but my philosopy is that when you buy a tv of this quality surely you intend to add some additional sound.
I recently purchased a Sharp LC46D92U after reading the reviews. My set locks up on 61.1 (OTA) and I can’t change channels or turn it off without unplugging it. Sharp has decided that it is a signal problem and will do nothing to correct the issue. How can an OTA signal completely take over my TV? I’ve talked to others in my neighborhood with other makes of flat panels and they have no problems. Sharp’s customer service is the worst!
I have had this TV for two months now and I am very happy with it. Prime time shows are crystal clear. High speed football and basketball games show no blurring. Higher quality video and sound than I anticipated.
I’ve recommend this unit to a number of friends.
I love the size and features on this tv and the picture is great – just don’t rely on these cheezy speakers that come with it… Just about anything will cause them to vibrate and buzz distorting the sound to near uselessness
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 $1,000!
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
After careful review it came down to this TV and similar Sony. I have had a few Sony’s and while expensive, they are good TVs. The specifications on this TV could not be matched anywhere, but its how it looks in person that will always carry the day. After having owned the TV for at least 30 days, I know there are great TVs out there – but, I am sure I made a great decision. This TV is incredible – if you have the right settings. Standard TV channels are ok (and you are going to find that on all large screen TVs), but high def channels or DVDs are unlike anything else I can still see on the shelf. Others have talked about the need to change the settings and that is so important. I worked for many days tweaking the settings and still find some greens a tad harsh. But if you are will to pay the price and work with the settings, this TV will redefine your viewing experience.
I am on my second television after getting a defective unit first time out. The center of the screen developed a large eliptical grey area clearly noticable when viewed from anything other than exactly in front of the screen. The grey patch was only visible in dark scenes. Sharp told me that this was the result of separation – parts of the LCD panel coming away from other layers. I don’t know how common an issue this is.
Sharp have a specialized customer service line for their Aquos products. It’s answered promptly by people in the U.S. They were helpful and informed. After sending them a digital picture of the screen’s problem they immediately agreed to send me a new one. The delivery firm picked up the old one meaning that you’re not left without a television.
The TV itself is excellent. A very clear picture. I agree with an earlier review which recommends turning down the backlight. It’s so bright it makes your eyes ache after a while if you leave it on the factory setting. This panel is supposed to be the latest with a refresh rate that cuts out motion blur. It’s better than others I’ve seen but blur is still noticable on HD during NFL games etc. Don’t expect perfection. Ultimately the experience you’ll get from this screen depends on what you watch. You must have HD TV – the more channels the better. SD is horrible on this panel. That said, it does display 480p DVD much better than I had expected.
After comparing the specs on the various high end LCD models,
I chose the Sharp Aquos LC46D92U set.It has a remarkably clear picture . My image source is the 5- pickup feed from a Direct TV satellite dish. This set delivers. My regret…I should have upgraded to the larger size ( 52″ ).It’s not so much that bigger is better, but wanting a home theater experience versus a TV experience.
This television has a great picture but if you are not hooking it up to an external sound system, I would definitely look elsewhere for a tv. The sound quality is barely ok. The real problem is it will not go loud enough. Any background noise in our house at all and you cannot hear the tv even though it is turned up all the way. I am saving money now to get a sound system to hook up to it but this should not be necessary just to hear my tv.
I received the TV from 6th Ave Photo through Amazon quickly and with no problems. The ordering was hassle free and efficient. The Sharp Aquos installed with no problems, but as with any electronics as sophisticated as this YOU MUST READ THE MANUAL. I’ve had the set for over 2 weeks and am very satisfied
