LC42D64U amd LC42D72U? Does anyone know what the difference is between these two models? I've been comparing their product profiles for awhile, and the only thing I can tell that may be different is that the 72U model may be less susceptible to banding and pixel issues. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! LC42D64U amd LC42D72U? Does anyone know what the difference is between these two models?

Wow, that's not much of a difference for the difference I've been seeing in price for these two sets. Thanks a lot, and good luck with your purchase!

The D72 appears to have 2 S-video ports vs. the 1 for the 64U. Also, the D72U may not have the 1.3 version of HDMI. The D64U does.

I am looking at the same two televisions. Unfortunately I can't help you with your question because it's mine too! Have you made a decision yet? I am going to check with Sharp, I will post the info for you if I get anywhere. Good Luck.

I received an email from Sharp customer service. Essentially the only difference is that the 64 has 3 HDMI input ports while the D72U has 2.It's also lighter and slimmer.

I went ahead and puchased the D64U and am completely delighted. The picture is beautiful and set up and adjustments are easier than ever. I have yet to plug my PC into it but don't expect problems. I did find that I must use the volume control on the TVs remote rather than the cable company's remote even though I programmed it for the Sharp. It turns the TV on but does not adjust volume, but this is probably an issue with the cable company's equipment and not the TV's. Anyway...that's that. And now...(rubbing my hands together) time to pick out some new speakers!

I've got a 46" 860. It's unbelievable. Vibrant true colors and best of all, hardly any screen glare like on the 650 and 850. Best LCD on the market.

Hi Jason, I actually just spent two hours on hold waiting for Sony to get to the bottom of the 24p/120hz issue for me, and this TV indeed runs at 60hz, which means it really is not True 24p, because the frame duplication is not equal for every frame, as it would be for 120hz (i.e. each of the 24 frames per second would be replicated five times per second as the TV refreshes 120 times in that second....24x5 = 120). This model is 60hz, so the frames replicate at something like 2:3:3:3:2 and so on (not quite sure how correct that is). I am actually very dissatisfied with this, because the whole reason I upgraded to this TV and Blu Ray was to have ACTUAL True 24p. With the Sony 32 and 37 inch models, they are falsely advertising completely...But most people would never notice a difference. 24p from Blu Ray still looks incredible on this TV, but there ARE times where something just doesn't QUITE look right...and I do notice it. I would have saved up a few extra hundred dollars for the larger, 120hz TVs had I known the technicalities of this back then....

I am looking at both of these models as well. I bought a Samsung 42" LCD 2.5 years ago and it is now failing. (Estimated repair cost for 1 of the 3 problems it is now having is $850.) Not a good track record for my money. So, I will probably go with the Sony. Has anyone had any repair problems with the Sony LCD's?

* They both have PixelPure 3G™... The 32HL67U just has a lengthier explanation on its spec-sheet.* They both have the same glossy cabinetry... They are just described slightly different in both spec-sheets.* The extra video input you see in the 32HL67U spec-sheet is the side AV input, which is present on both models.

I had the XE700T1C-A02US and had some major issues with the screen - including strange artifacting, a "light shadow" along the entire outer frame of the screen, and a dark spot in the middle of the screen. Definitely exchange it. Amazon took mine back and didn't hassle me about it at all. :)

HiThank you for your interest.The difference is pixel policy.Please check the pixel policy of each description.This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor.Thank you.

Thanks, T., that's good information. I wish I had the space (and cash) for one of those, especially the 42PZ700, but I'll still probably grab a 42PX60U. I did see a couple of sites with specs on the 75U models that showed them slightly wider than the 42PX60U (and a bit too wide for me.)I wonder about all the sites which are advertising these TVs (the 75U in particular) and claiming to have them in stock.

Gamble. Thanks for the reply. If you read the reviews on Amazon it seems that the reviewers seem to think the 65 model is better! I would go for the 65 as I want the best display as possible. I watch soccer and need the better fast motion that this model should display (less blurry) hope this helps. Keep in touch!Mike

Hey T. McAnaney,Yes, when I compared specs, I too looked and said, why should I pay more for an item that has the same specs? What is so different about this new model. I even went to web sites that had incorrect information on the specs of the TH-42PX600U, and the TH-42PX75U had the specs of the TH-42PX600U. So I ended up buying the TH-42PX600U. Even from what I heard that the 75U is supposed to have 1080p, versus the 1080i, I did not believe it would be worth the additional cost.

I'm not familiar with that particular model (The 4096), but the LNS series has been replaced by the LNT series. From what I have heard through extensive research, the LNS line had clouding on dark backgrounds, a problem shared with the Sony LCDs, since they use the same exact image panel.Keep in mind that this is a fantastic deal on the 4061 currently on Amazon. Go to a brick and mortar store and it will be several hundred dollars more. I think you are probably spot on with your assessment of the situation regarding the price. I just purchased the LNT-4061 today after extensive research, and here's hoping it's not too good to be true.

I got mine from Fry's. It is the newer model with 128mb. There was some lagging in speed because the images were too high of a resolution. The quick fix is to use the WindowsXP powertool call ImageRiser. Free to download. Shrunk my 5.0mp images from about 1.7mb in size down to about 30k (at the 800x600 setting). Images now slideshow much faster and with a left over 512mb SD I had laying around, I could easily put thousands of images on it. Could not get the videos to work though, would be nice but no biggie. On the images where the pictures are bright and sunny, it looks great, but darking indoor images, the contrast is not so great. From 6 feet away, it is very watchable, up close at 2 to 3 feet, you can see the pixels.

As a mater of fact, I talked to the company today. You can find the comparison on the Sharp sight but there is more to it. First the Dynamic contrast is 15000:1 for the 92 and 10000:1 for the 64, making the 92 much better. The 92 came out Feb 07 while the 64 came out Aug 07. Sure the 64 is newer, but the 92 has the contrast. The 92 has another level of backlight (the ambilight function) kind of like a table light with a pull cord, full once more and get a brighter light. You get the picture. 92 has detachable speakers 64 does not. DVI-I conection (for a computer) on the 92 where the 64 has RGB. and lastly, all connections for the 92 are in back while 64 has some on the side. As I said, there is a comparison chart found on the Sharp site. I'll be buying the 92, sure it's about $700 more but it's worth it!

I ordered the LC46D85U on 12/26. Amazon estimated the 8th for delivery, CEVA Logistics (shipper) estimated the 6th for delivery, I was contacted on 1/2/09 to schedule a delivery and they delivered it today (1/5). Fantastic LCD so far!

The 590 is a little brighter than the 660 in day light. I sold my 660 before really studying the 590. If you have the 660, it isn't worth the money to upgrade, but if you have neither, I'de go for the 590.
