I purchased a 70" Elite form a local High End store. The set up was easy for two adults . Fresh out of the box the picture quality was beyond fantastic. The screen does have some glare that someone might find annoying, especially if you have allot of windows. The first evening we watched some "NATGEO". It knocked our socks off. It was if we were on location viewing it live. I have looked at, played with and researched many displays. Would I buy an Elite again? Absolutely . After viewing all the heavenly glory this TV can display, the buyers remorse that sometimes come with a large purchase was nonexistent . In this particular case , I believe you deffinetly get what you pay for . The sound quality is excellent. The 3D is the best I have ever experienced and it comes with a nice bundle of APPS. This TV looks great even when its off? It is NOT just another Sharp product with an Elite badge. It is a culmination of years of development between sharp and pioneer technicians. The bar has been raised to a new height with this one.... MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Do not buy this tv . If you do, you will not be able to watch anything else. Everything else will ruin your eyes and make you long for the Elite. It makes very good LCD sets like the XBR by Sony look like it was designed 10 years ago. The clarity is shocking. The blacks and whites make other set look like you are watching through a vale. Motions are so fluid. 2 d looks like 3d in some scenes. I enjoy watching tv more than I ever have and finding myself watching programs that I am not interested in normally but find myself mesmerized by the beauty of the display. Yes it is pricey....but the best often is. If you can easily spare the cash, and will only be satisfied by the best, you won't be sorry. My qualm is the only pretty good sound quality. Easily overcome with a home theater sound system.

The C|net review sums up the performance of this fine display, which is marred only by its high price and highly reflective screen.
A more practical approach is the the similar 240Hz AQUOS LC-70LE735U 70" 3D LED-LCD TV for $3.1K. Same panel and electronics but with standard Sharp firmware.
Better for daytime viewing too with no glare screen.
The experienced will note that there will be an 80" 240Hz 3D model coming six months which will sell for about the same price as this overpriced 70".
So the $6-9K is wasted. Don't fall for the moderator and dealer assisted cheerleading on the popular AV forums as they steer customers to buy without being fair, balanced or objective.
