8/10

WIRED
Nearly unbelievable picture quality. Bright and vivid colors. Extremely fast frame rate conversion and pixel response times. Plenty of inputs including HD composite, HDMI, and DVI. Blu-ray and HD-DVD compatible. 176 degree viewing angle. Special effects movies look exceptional. HDTV looks incredible. Even basic cable looks brilliant.
TIRED
No Picture-in-Picture or USB or memory card slot. Remote control is horribly designed and nearly impossible to use. Sketchy PC input via DVI. Glossy piano finish on TV frame easily shows dust.

Amazing? Yes, but so is the price. Costing nearly $1600 more than Sharp's current 52-inch LCD (which sports a contrast ratio of 10,000:1) this LCD will take a big, fat bite out of your bank account. But for all those ducats, you do get deep rich colors, defined blacks, and HD content that looks so jaw-droppingly clear, you might confuse it with real life.
