People clamor for high definition TVs for a clear picture, realistic images and superb viewing experience. But with so many HDTVs, of different types, models and sizes, now in the market, it is more complicated now for consumers to choose one that they would set their eyes, and pockets, on. With a careful and closer look, though, there are only a few that truly excel in terms of picture quality while providing great viewing experience. One of them is the Sharp AQUOS LC65E77UM, one of the 2009 Sharp HDTV models.

On the outside, the AQUOS LC65E77UM already looks elegant with its sleek black frame with gold-accentuated borders. The speakers are also neatly towed at the bottom so as not to interrupt the nicely designed bezel.

Unlike other big screens at 65-inches, this AQUOS model showcased the crispness of the image. It is equipped with Full 1080p resolution with Spectral Contrast Engine XD which makes the excellent deep black levels in this display possible. Color accuracy is almost perfect, and coupled with the right contrast, definitely brings images to life.

In motion films, the LC65E77UM doesn’t get left behind. The model has 120HZ Fine Motion Enhanced feature that allows smooth video processing, especially for films with fast motion images. Watching an action-packed movie on this HDTV will definitely be a breathtaking experience.

Although the amazing picture quality can be intimidating to average consumers, this baby is actually user-friendly. The menu and picture controls are easy to use and understand. It can even be used right away from the box, no setup hassles and tedious configurations. For the more advanced users, they will likely be happy as well because of the numerous inputs available. There are 4 HDMI inputs available, 2 component video inputs, RS-232 and PC inputs, as well as other ports normally found on a high-def TV.

The only downside noticed in this Sharp AQUOS LC65E77UM is the sound quality of its internal speakers. They are fine when watching news and simple programs, but not really great for movies and audio-intensive programs. However, most HDTVs have the same weakness, anyway, and others are even worse than this model. A home-theater system would definitely complement this HDTV to compensate for this flaw. And it can easily be connected, as well, with the numerous inputs available.

For those wanting to have a big screen in their living room or bedroom, yet not keen on spending excessive amounts for other features that would eventually render useless, the Sharp AQUOS LC65E77UM is indeed a good bet and with the price of just $2,839 (including free shipping) for a 65 inches it’s a real winner.
