This model is the 52'' version of the 46'' TV that we tested in our labs, the Sharp Aquos LC-46LE821E

Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size! 

The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different sized televisions with panels from different sources.  In that case, our comments are only valid for the panel that we originally tested.  Contrast, black levels, colour handling and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another.

Manufacturers who do fit the same panel in all of the TVs in a range can expect the same results across the whole range.  The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast.  According to our own tests, and assurances from manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.

Pluses

-

Great contrast at 2046:1

-

Attractive finish

-

Low energy consumption

Minuses

-

Reproduction of colours completely wrong

-

Viewing angles are too narrow

-

Glossy finish susceptible to reflections and fingerprints

-

Mediocre multimedia player

-

Basic remote without backlit buttons

Sharp bet on its Quattron technology, but lost: our tests showed some serious problems with colours. We just can't recommend this TV, but we hope that the next generation will get it right.
