Sharp Aquos LC-65D93U
$8,999.00
Released March, 2007
The Pros:120Hz frame rate conversion (instead of 60Hz as most LCDs). 4ms response time (instead of 8-16ms as most LCDs). High native resolution (1920x1080).
The Cons:Utilizes HDMI 1.2a (instead of HDMI 1.3). Possibility of banding due to manufacturing defect at Sharp K2 plant. Underperforms when broadcast in 720i.
The Sharp Aquos LC-65D93U is a 65" LCD full HDTV delivering a 1080p picture. It features a very fast 4 ms response time (8 ms is more typical of an LCD), and high contrast ratio (15,000:1 dynamic, 3000:1 native).

It first became available in March, 2007 and retails for around $9000. The large size, and great contrast and response specs at a good price make this an LCD worth considering. However, reports of banding because of a defect at the Sharp K2 plant, and the noticeable omission of HDMI 1.3 support (only supports HDMI 1.2a) are points you should consider as well.
Consider the Samsung FP-T6374 63" plasma as an alternative to this 65" LCD.

#sharp_aquos_lc_65d93u Based upon reputation and history alone I'd imagine that the new plasms from Pioneer will definitely give this set a run for its money. Ignoring price again :)
