Sharp Aquos LC-46D62U

Best black-level performance of any non-CRT we've tested yet; resolves every detail of 1080i resolution sources; image stays relatively true from off-angle for an LCD; distinctive two-tone styling.

Inaccurate color temperature; irregular bands across screen visible in some scenes; lacks picture-in-picture; no PC input.

Although it delivers the deepest color of black we've seen yet, a couple of picture quality problems keep the Sharp LC46D62U from being a top, high-end LCD choice.
