Sharp Aquos LC-37D4U 37-Inch Flat-Panel LCD TV
it had to be said
OK! I've been saving this up for all the reviews that say that all the new HD TV's are not in full HD: yes they are!<br />Now, let me explain, take for example this TV: it's native resolution is 1366 x 768, which is enough pixels to fully display 720p.<br />720p is a HD resolution.<br />Now, to display the highest resolution HD the TV MUST have 1920 x 1080, good luck finding a TV under (or over) 40\\" that can display that.<br />It's not that Sharp and the other manufactures don't want to make a TV that shows 1920 x 1080, it's just reallllly hard to (at lest in sizes smaller then, say, 50\\").<br />But if you don't have a set that shows 1920 x 1080, it's all up to the sets image scalar - that's the bit of electronics in the TV that converts the input into something the TV can display - and if the scalar is sub-par than your picture will be too.<br />Talk of pixels and image scalars aside, go to the store where you'll buy your new TV and look at the high-def TV's, than the standard-def, do you see a difference? is it better? do you care if it's not 1920 x 1080?<br />whew! I'm glad to get that off my chest, sorry about all that nerd ranting Jeff, but, I get pretty worked up about that kind of stuff, any way I should get to the review, hu?<br />Well, here it is:<br />It is a really good picture. really.<br />unfortunately, I don't have the pleasure of living with this TV, but, my friend has the 30\\" version, and in HD it look's...wow, nice, real nice.<br />In HD bigger is better, and that thought was confirmed for me upon seeing this 37\\" at Best Buy...or was it Circuit City, no matter, the point is that even in 1366 x 768 it still looked mighty fine.
