subject: Sharp Aquos LC65E77UM [print this page] The new Aquos LC65E77UM from Sharp turns out to be a surprising hit. Sharp has always been able to create TVs that break the mold and produce superior picture, but this model takes things to another level. This HDTV features a 1080p resolution and a very attractive look. It has that rich piano type black with a sleek look with recessed bottom mounted speakers. This baby is a work of art hanging on your wall or posted on your table. The LC65E77UM uses Sharps proprietary Advanced Super View Superlucent Panel along with the Spectral Contrast Engine XD. This produces a very high contrast ratio and ultra-low response time. On top of this, the Aquos LC65E77UM has a very wide viewing angle. No more sitting right in front of the TV to be able to properly see the picture. But that's not all. To this, the Aquos LC65E77UM adds the 120 hertz Fine Motion Enhanced tuners. This leads to super fast image processing . This TV definitely doesn't suffer from the problems that other sets have in keeping up with the picture, especially when the details are complicated and the image moves fast. Along with the tuners like the ATSC and NTSC, there are 4 HDMI inputs and 2 component video inputs as well. Another thing that I really like about this TV is something that Sharp calls OPC, which stands for Optical Picture Control. This basically means that the TV adjusts the picture based on the luminosity in your room. If you watch TV in the day time with the sun shining into the room, the TV adjust for that, and if you watch at night, the TV adjusts for that too. At the end of the day, this TV is a real beauty. It's definitely a worthwhile investment for those of us that make an art out of watching our favorite show or game.
