I bought this Pointy Aquos LC42D65U 42 Inch 1080p LCD HDTV 2 weeks before Yuletide , on a VERY strict budget. ( My wife's cash ) I'm employed In the AV industry, ( commercial design and installation ) and I was beat, of working with stuff, that was far out of my budget. I have worked with the 52" version before, and It actually looked great. The picture on the Pointy Aquos LC42D65U 42" is very sharp. buy lcd hdtv
The Inputs, are absolutely adequate. Even including RS232 and USB port for firmware updates. HDMI's out the wazoo. All the inputs are located in extraordinarily accessible places. Including the Television's control buttons on the right side of the bezel. The "picture frame" bezel, rocks! I really hate looking at a wide, glossy, distracting bezel, that is common on flat-panals. This one, is thin with hard lines. Very professional looking. Why not have a great looking TV to match the quality of the picture on it?
Anyway, I was often anxious that most other Aquos models were 120Hz. Blu-Ray and Gaming, were the concern's in my final call on what to buy. The standard for Blu-Ray is 1080p/24Hz. Your Totally Covered! Killer refresh rate! Great performance! Especially when used with a Aquos Blu-Ray player. Oh, yea did I bring up the mix, not only works together ( thru "Aquos Link" ), but is also one of the least expensive 1080p $975.00 Blu-Ray $200.00 combo's. I got what I wanted, without having to "settle". The absence of the fifth star on my review, was for the sound. Kinda stinks. Although, not so bad I would not suggest this to anybody. MOSTLY, all flat panel speakers pong. I adore this Pointy Aquos LC42D65U Television regardless. I wold endorse it to anyone.
