Solid LCD
I've had this Aquos for about 3 weeks now. I spent a lot of time comparing different sets including many of the newer technology LCD sets with LED backlighting, etc. Was there a difference? Maybe. Was it worth the extra $2000-3000 or more for the newer tech? In my opinion no.
The D64U provides a beautiful picture on HD sources (I never watched golf before owning this TV, now it's a mesmerizing spectacle!) or any upconverted DVD. I have not seen any HD LCD's that do very well with SD analog signals, and this one is no exception. But I didn't need that as I mainly watch only HD channels and movies.
Sports have looked great as well, although I am reserving comments slightly until football season starts. The 4ms response seems to be more than adequate for fast moving scenes, I notice very little ghosting.
When searching, I also closely compared sets with 120 Hz refresh rates, including those with frame-filling programming, vs. 60 Hz as is this model. Again the difference was so marginal (and in most cases not visible at all) that I could not justify the price difference.
Finally everything added up to this being the right choice for me. Great picture and plenty of inputs for all the different components I use it with (cable, dvd, pc, 2 game systems) for a price that was hard to beat at 52". I would recommend to anyone--definitely look closely before you decide to invest the extra in another, you might not see any more difference than I.
P.S. I have witnessed none of the banding other reviewers have. Can't discredit it as often as it is mentioned, but not present in mine.

Great purchase
This set is more than my family expected - high def is clear, color is great, and I haven't noticed any of the banding problems some have noticed. I was a little nervous about possiby unpacking the set and it wouldn't work, but the delivery personnel took it out of the box, plugged it in and made sure it worked. Evidently, that is something Amazon requires.

Warning: TV size 32'' or GREATER CANNOT be returned for exchange!!!
Just want to warn everyone that once the TV is in your hands, YOU cannot returned it back for an exchange even if the product is defective.
I just bought a LC52D64U 52-inch 1080p TV From Amazon---[...]. When delivered, I had inspected the TV and saw no physical damage and signed the delivery document.
Once I put it in my living room and hooked it up the power, I found that the screen was dark without any signal and there is no sound. The product was defective right out of the box and I cannot return it for an exchange. I have to call Sharp to get someone to fix it.
It is likely that it will take about a month to get it fixed. NOW I am stuck with it. I am not even sure if the TV was real brand new.
Sharp Aquos LC52D64U 52-inch 1080p LCD HDTV
In the future, I will never buy anything from vendors if it is not exchangeable in case the product is defective!!!
Update: today is 6/4/2008, the TV is still in repair shop!!

A great TV
Looking at all the research, I felt that we needed a 120 hz LCD TV.
Finally we deceided to buy the 4 mS respons time Sharp and are very happy with the unit. Brightness is great even in a well lit room. Viewing angle is everything we hoped for. Fasy action sports is a pleasure to watch. All in all a great product at a great price from Amazon
