DPR editors' take

Although DPR did not review the 52-inch Sharp AQUOS LC-52D85U, we did review the 46-inch Sharp Aquos LC-46D85U. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Sharp flat-panel LCDs are identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 46-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 52-incher will perform. For more information, check out the full review of the Sharp Aquos LC-46D85U.
