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 The more I read about the Samsungs, the more concerns I had about spending $5000 for a TV whose technology could be outdated in a few short years.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.

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
Davyo
