The Sharp Aquos 65″ 1080p LCD HDTV is the Geek’s second choice for the high definition category as this new LCD HDTV raises the bar by fitting a large screen size into a smaller footprint. By reducing the number of parts and modifying the circuit layout, Sharp has developed the Slim-line design which reduces the required depth by 25%.
Even though the depth of the unit is less due to a reduced number of parts, this Sharp LCD HDTV still has all the right stuff. The LC-65D64U utilizes Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View / Black TFT Panel with multi-pixel technology, providing 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Enhanced Picture Contrast Technology and 4ms response time. The LC-65D64U features built-in ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuners and includes 3 HDMIâ„¢ (version 1.3) inputs, compatible with 1080p signals, X.V. Color, a PC input and 2 HD component video inputs. Side terminals are included for wall-mounting convenience as well as RS-232C input for control.
Suggested Price: $7999.99
Well, if you have the right room size, there's nothing more impressive than a 65 inch TV on your wall 🙂 I would however go for a plasma TV because it has better picture and is also cheaper compared to a 65 inch LCD.

Jack – thanks for your comments. My $0.02: That price difference between the 2 is rapidly shrinking, so I wouldn't necessarily use that as a major reason. As for the 'better' picture, that can be really subjective, and honestly the better LCD TVs aren't of lesser quality than Plasmas. I've got a Plasma and an LCD, and I don't much care for the Plasma.
But not saying you should buy an LCD, just saying that the differences aren't as stark as they once were.
