The Sharp Aquos LC-46D64U is an entry level LCD television that offers the typical mix of good and bad that you would expect from an entry level television. On the plus side it's a thin HDTV, but it lacks any styling and the remote is just terrible. The ports are placed well, however we noticed jerky motion and problems upscaling lower resolution content, an issue if you're going to be watching standard definition content on the TV. The question, of course, is whether it's a good value.

Section The Good The Bad
Tour & Design It's thin.
Good looks aren't in the bag.
Performance: Summary You don't have to change many settings to calibrate.
The pixel pattern is strange.
Performance: Blacks & Whites Good black levels and bright whites.
Gamma was high and upscaling lower resolution was problematic
Performance: Color Clean whites and good response for primary colors.
Colors were slightly inaccurate.
Performance: Motion Handled material with 3:2 pulldown well.
Motion was jerky and no support for 24p.
Performance: Viewing Effects Decent viewing angle.
Video processing options not very good.
Remote Can be used as a universal remote.
Ugly, ungainly and badly designed.

The speakers were pretty poor.
Connectivity A lot of ports are in easy reach.
The USB port cannot be used for anything.
Controls & Menus Simple and clear.
Not a lot of style.

Turn up the backlight too far and it will cost you.
