. ProsBig, bright panel. Inexpensive for its size. ConsMediocre picture quality. No connected features. Bottom LineThe Sanyo DP65E34 lets you have a 65-inch HDTV for under a grand, but you can get so much more in a smaller screen.It's obvious that get more expensive as they get larger, but it's not a linear progression. P rices curve upward once you pass the 60-inch mark, and 70-, 80-, and 90-inch HDTVs can easily cost twice as much as the next smallest version.
Sanyo's DP65E34 is a 65-inch LED HDTV available for $998. That seems like an excellent deal, but to get down to that price, it ends up with few features and mediocre picture quality. For the same amount of money, you could get the excellent 55-inch, and for half as much you could get the solid 50-inch, which includes a Roku Streaming Stick in the box. The DP65E34 certainly isn't a bad HDTV, but you could get much more if you can settle for less screen. After all, 55 inches isn't anything to sneeze at, and unless your couch is far, far away, a screen bigger than that shouldn't be a priority over picture quality. A row of buttons along the right edge of the back of the display hold basic Volume Up/Down, Channel Up/Down, Menu, Input, and Power controls.

Two HDMI ports, a USB port, and an antenna/cable connection sits facing left on the back of the panel, with the remaining HDMI port, component and VGA video inputs, and optical and 3.5mm audio outputs facing downward.The included remote is identical to the one that comes with the Sanyo FVF5044. It's a simple black wand with flat rubber buttons that aren't backlit. It sports all of the standard HDTV controls, including a number pad, playback buttons, volume and channel rockers, and a large, round navigation pad that can be found easily under the thumb.

Buy Sanyo 32' Class HD (720P) LED TV (FW32D08F) at Walmart.com. I have well over 65 TV stations coming in. It's mind-boggling what you can get for $128 of course leaving aside the ridiculous state of Illinois tax. Oh well I shouldn't complain too bad in spite of all its issues Illinois's been good to me.
If you connect a to the HDTV, the remote can control it as well as the screen's own settings.The DP65E34 is a very simple, bare-bones HDTV with no online connectivity or extra features. It's Roku Ready, which means one of its HDMI ports is MHL-equipped and can work with the of the Roku Streaming Stick (the version that comes included with the Sanyo FVF5044). This is a perfectly serviceable way to get online services on the HDTV, but the HDMI version of the Roku Streaming Stick is available for only $50, has all of the same features, and doesn't require MHL (meaning you can use it on other displays if you wish).PerformanceWe test HDTVs using a,. After a basic darkroom calibration, we found that the best settings for testing were Brightness at 53, Contrast at 55, and Color Temperature set to Warm.
At these settings, the DP65E34 showed a black level of 0.05 cd/m 2 and a peak brightness of 330.86 cd/m 2 for a contrast ratio of 6,617:1. This is a strong showing for a budget HDTV, but it isn't quite as impressive as the FVF5044's 0.03 cd/m 2 black level and 10,982:1 contrast ratio. Color accuracy was much less impressive.
The chart below shows ideal CIE color levels as boxes and measured color levels as dots. Red, green, and blue all appeared oversaturated and slightly skewed, which is unsurprising for a budget HDTV. However, the white color accuracy was very cool even at the warmest color temperature setting, which is a bigger problem.Despite the solid contrast of the DP65E34, dark scenes like the alley fight in The Amazing Spider-Man on Blu-ray suffer from poor shadow detail. The scene has a great deal of high contrast between the bright lights scattered through the alley and the shadow-obscured characters, but those shadows swallowed nearly every detail on their dark clothes, making the scene seem like a fight between silhouettes.The Big Lebowski, a much brighter movie, looked better on the DP65E34.
Highlights and bright colors both looked crisp and vibrant, but the whites of the bowling pins looked nearly blue. Fortunately, the various flesh tones of the actors didn't seem thrown off, even if Steve Buscemi's usually sickly pallor looked slightly pinker than it should. We measure input lag with a. Input lag is the amount of time it takes for the HDTV to update its picture to match the video input, and is very important for video games. The DP65E34 lagged 56 milliseconds, which is about what can be expected with an HDTV in this price range. This doesn't mean HDTVs are bad for gaming, of course; generally, input lag of under 80 seconds is still fast enough to excel with the most timing-intensive character action games. It's a measure of degrees among extreme enthusiasts and competitive players.Under normal viewing conditions, the DP65E34 consumes 106 watts under the calibrated settings above, and 91 watts in Power Saving mode, which dims the picture slightly.
This is fairly energy efficient for such a large HDTV. The 60-inch barely sips power at 60 watts, but it's an exceptional example. On the other end of the spectrum, the uses 173 watts in Eco mode and a whopping 250 watts in standard mode.ConclusionThe Sanyo DP65E34 is a big-screen HDTV with a reasonable price tag, but it clearly compromises on performance and features to edge below $1,000. Unless you really, really need a 65-inch screen, you can get much better performance and functionality by dipping down to a 60- or 55-inch HDTV, both of which are still large, very respectable sizes. You can find the Editors' Choice Vizio M551D-A2R for around the same amount as the DP65E34 or slightly more, and that packs excellent performance, lots of connected features, and 3D support into its smaller size.
The can also be found for around $1,000, and has plenty of connected features and a much more stylish design.
