Sharp LC42D64U Best consumer product purchase ever

Without a doubt the Sharp LC42D64U has been our most satisfying consumer product purchase. We are not appliance geeks and simply wanted a good TV. The Sharp fit the bill. Super bright picture, it looks fantastic even in our great room which has a wall of 16' high south facing windows. Far brighter and of course overall superior to a tube picture. The resolution is crisp, the colors true, and there is absolutely no blurring of motion or pixelation. The depth of field of a high definition broadcast is wonderful - the focus is superb from the batter in the box right back to the fans in row 30 in the same shot. The TV sounds great too, I'm not bothering to use external speakers. After looking at a few brands in a showroom I did not stress too much over this decision. The fact is that any one of the current models from Sharp, Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, etc., will simply blow you away once you get it home and stop looking at 10 screens side by side, trying to figure out which is better.
