Sharps sleak looking 46-inch LCD leader the Sharp LC-46D62U has some very impressive specifications including a 10,000:1 contrast ratio has been reviewed by the guys over at Cnet.

This 46-inch, 1080p, flat-panel LCD reproduced a deeper color of black–and thus a better contrast ratio–than any non-CRT HDTV we’ve ever tested, whether plasma, LCD, or rear-projection. The other aspects of its picture quality were equally impressive, with one exception: color temperature accuracy. If not for that issue, it would have scored our highest honor, but don’t get us wrong: the Sharp LC-46D62U is one of the most impressive LCD televisions we’ve ever seen, especially with a price that’s seriously competitive compared to those of other high-end 1080p LCDs.
