5.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy With This TV Purchase July 3, 2011

By G. A. P.

My family is VERY happy with this purchase. My original choice was to go with the 65 inch Samsung UN65C8000 and later the UN65D8000. While Samsung makes great TV's, I really did not care to pay extra for 3-D which I will never use. The more I read about the Samsungs, the more concerns I had about spending $5000 for a TV whose technology could be outdated in a few short years. I was really glad to find this Sharp TV which seems to have hit the sweet spot for me between size, features, quality and price. With the Sharp I also got 5 extra inches of screen for around $2000 less than the Samsung. But the proof is in the picture quality and this TV has an excellent picture. Unlike the edge lighting used on the Samsung, the Sharp has full arrray LED back lighting. This makes the Sharp not as thin as the Samsung, but gives it a more uniform picture. HD is simply stunning. Last but not least, my living room is almost all windows so one of the biggest selling points for me was the semi-gloss screen on the Sharp TV. This makes for less of the distracting reflections compared to a glossy screen TV like the Samsung. In sum, I think Sharp has a real winner here. If you have the space and enough seating distance to the TV, I think you will be very satified.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm in Love! May 12, 2011

By ReviewByMe

I just got this "beast" set up and all I want to do it wrap my arms around it and hug it. My boyfriend helped me with it and when we were done, I said "I love you." The sad thing is, I was talking to the TV, not him.

I blanched when I first saw the price tag but have been wanting a 70" LCD for a while so went ahead and purchased it even though there were no other reviews at the time.

I am so happy I did.

I think I spent a month or two trying to decide what TV to get. I visited plenty of stores and did comparison shopping. I kept weighing the features I wanted and those I could live without. In the end I had it down to this 70" and another brand's 65" 3D TV. I decided I would enjoy a larger screen more than I would a 3D screen so that was the deciding factor for me. I'm not really into the whole 3D thing anyway...I have long eyelashes so wearing glasses for a long period of time drives me nuts.

I really cant think of a single negative thing to say. I was a little nervous about what I would wind up with but this TV has met every one of my expectations. It was a breeze to set up - just make sure you have an extra person on hand to help with the stand. It is large, awkward and slightly heavy to move. (We cursed quite a bit and in the end, had to cart it into the bedroom to lay it down on the mattress to put the stand on.)

I bought a sound system to go with it because I always hear that the new, larger TV's don't have the best speakers but the sound on this TV is just as good as what was on my last television set. Though, if you're going to spend so much on a TV, I'd go ahead and shell out a few extra bucks to get a sound system that equals the picture....

I guess the only tiny thing I could say that's a negative isn't really to do with the TV but the current technology. It has built-in wifi which lets you stream from the various online movie sites. Since the signal is being fed to it wirelessly, its not nearly as sharp as the picture you get from your HDMI cable connected sources. I'll probably stick to my movies and cable when watching TV on it.

I haven't set up my Xbox to it yet and not sure if I will (its in the media room,) so cant comment on how it would do with games, but as I mainly bought it for TV/movies it suits its purpose perfectly.

I honestly don't see how they can ever improve on this.

EDITED to ADD:

So I have had this a few weeks now and Im still super into it. At first I thought there was no light sensor, but I was wrong and there are actually two up front that I had just been blocked with the spare cable clicker. I really like this feature as on the few days Ive been around during the day, I didnt need to close blinds to watch TV or mess with the settings on my own.

I moved the TV to a different room a week or so after the original set up and really had to play around with the picture settings to get them right. The pre-set ones are ok, but some of the levels seemed off to me....Bright colors were looking great but skin tones just seemed washed out - like everyone on my TV was a in need of some color or trip to the beach. Anyway, I have all the settings where I think they should be.

I have found one, not so great thing...it doesnt really effect me as I have ATT Uverse and pretty much only watch the HD channels....but I have noticed that on the regular channels, it doesnt do so well. Like, on those channels, everything has the picture quality of an old episode of Walker Texas Ranger. Its almost like those channels cant handle being blown up to this size. There could be a setting to fix this but I havent found it yet. But anyway, the HD channels all look amazing. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT 70" Sharp,, better than my 65" Panasonic plasma June 5, 2011

By Davyo

Got this 70" Sharp to replace my 65" S2 Panasonic plasma that I sold,,, I wanted something bigger than 65 inches and at first was worried that I might take a hit in picture quality going to the 70" Sharp, such was not the case, the picture quality is even better than my much loved Panasonic 65 incher.

Anyhow,,,, very very very happy with my new Sharp.

On a side note, I also purchased and returned the 65" Vizio passive 3D panel,,, the passive 3D was great,, but the 2D picture quality of the 65" Vizio was not as good as my Panny plasma or my Sharp 70 incher.

Cheers

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful (After Calibration) June 13, 2011

By C. Nelson

Amazon Verified Purchase

The TV is great right out of the box. But for videophiles, you might notice some oversaturation of the colors, too-bright picture, etc. I like to be in control of my picture, so I created two custom user settings - one for movies and tv shows, and one for video games. I turned all of the "auto" features off so that the picture would be consistent. After just a little tweaking, the image is astounding. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Note: If you have a calibration blu-ray (meant for calibrating HD TVs) or plan on getting one, make sure you understand that you'll have to eyeball the color yourself because of the fourth pixel color in this set (the "quattron" means it's not only using RGB colors - it adds yellow as well). So, the blue filter that comes with some of these calibration blu-rays will not work correctly. If possible, calibrate the color without the blue filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to WOW yourself... friends & family? This is the one! June 12, 2011

By JD Photography

We haven't had this tv long, less than a week to be exact, but instantly fell in love as soon as we powered it up! We were blown away by her parents 55" Sony LED and even more now with this monsterous 70" Sharp Aquos! The LED technology in general is just unbelievably crystal clear! HD movies seem as if you are right there watching the action first hand, not through a tv. I will eventually tweak the settings for an even better picture, even though I can't even imagine it getting any better.

We wanted a LARGE LED tv that could also link to Netflix so we can stream movies whenever the mood hit. The wife set up the Netflix in less than 5 minutes. The LED Sony her parents have required a USB adapter of some type & she thought we would need the same. But, not this Aquos! We fed it the wireless signal and were instantly streaming movies from Netflix after punching in the login information through the tv.

The tv is mounted to a Cheetah APDAM2B Full Motion Dual Arm Wall Mount Bracket. The bracket states up 55", but the key is the mount supports up to 165lbs (bracket manual states up to 130lb from what I remember). Either way this bracket is solid and supports the 70" effortlessly. The swivel option by pulling the tv off the wall to angle for a diffent view is even fully functional.

I highly recommend this tv (& mount) if you are looking to go BIG! Watch your friends reactions when they see this bad boy mounted in your room! It can be quite comical :-) Coming from owning a 42" Plasma, I still chuckle when I see this tv on my wall which seems to dwarf the full size mantle & fireplace that it's mounted next to.

If anyone would like to help out and post your custom settings, I (sure others will too) would really appreciate it.
