Kudos to Sharp for producing the only LCD in our big-and-tall category — a feat. The 52-inch set's 120-Hz refresh rate helped it lock on to the toughest of our crazy-cadence HD test sources, and it's tops in smoothing out grainy video noise. But the otherwise great processing left lots of jaggies, and we couldn't completely ditch its slightly oversaturated reds and oranges.
WIRED: 1080p gives great viewing resolution at living-room-couch distance. Thin case looks very modern.
TIRED: Good processing doesn't cover up bad color. All but the lowest level of noise reduction did more harm than good.
