Q: 3d tv, will it show regular non-3d pictures as well as a non-3d tv will?

A: Great questions! The 3D feature of the LC70LE845U Sharp television is not always active. You will have to choose select to switch from viewing a 2D image to viewing a 3D image. You will be able to view all of the movies that you currently own without any issues. Until you select to enable the 3D feature, the TV will work like a normal LED TV.

Q: can i use a wireless key board with this tv?

A: Great question! The LC70LE845U Sharp television was not designed to be used with a wireless keyboard.

Q: How big are the box dimensions?

Q: What is the difference between the LC-70LE845U and the LC-70C8470U?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Impressive and BIG
This TV had just about everything I was looking for: giant screen, 240Hz, 3D, Full HD, lots of inputs and the list goes on. While I was slightly more impressed with the Samsung picture quality, partially due to its glossy (versus the Sharp's matte) screen and overall picture brilliance, I quickly got over it because without having the two sets side-by-side, you quickly forget the differences. The picture is vibrant and highly adjustable. I borrowed some calibration settings someone posted on the interwebs and after eliminating some oversaturated factory-default reds, I think the picture looks gorgeous. HDMI 4 is MHL-compatible meaning that my separately purchased Roku stick can be controlled through the TV. However, it doesn't seem to work...but that's a separate issue -- in theory, the technology is there and should be capable of handling it. I haven't been able to get the ARC to function properly yet either whereby I have something plugged directly into the TV, but want the sound to come out of my receiver. It's a minor issue that really only affects a device I rarely use (though this could prove troublesome if/when I get my Roku stick to work). Setup was easy, but I rarely use the built-in internet functions. I primarily use an AppleTV, Roku, TiVo, PC or PS3 for most web-based or streaming services -- especially given that the response time in loading and operating the TV's offerings can be quite slow. I was slightly disappointed that Best Buy's model is the low-end version of this particular model. The main difference (Costco sells the slightly better version) is mostly the lack of Sharp's Quad-pixel-something-or-other technology. It's intended to improve the 3D quality as well as overall picture quality. Would it have made a massive difference...probably not, but I tend to like having the latest and greatest (except in the case where I'd have to wait 5 years to get an overly expensive 4K TV -- this will hold me over in the meantime). The TV, despite having read that matte screens surprisingly do the opposite, performs really well in a sunny room right next to a window. I never have issues struggling to see the picture. In the store, next to the Samsung, the picture looked a little flat due to the screen, but again, in my home without anything to compare with side-by-side, I'd never know the difference. 3D playback is pretty impressive. Although we've seen the movie 50 times, Tangled in 3D was a revelation for my 4 year old daughter. I couldn't help but laugh aloud when she reached out to grab the floating lanterns. Given that the 3D glasses have to be purchased separately and that Universal glasses are not an option, we did struggle to get them to stay on her little face, but we made due. I do wish that there was an option for kids, haven't found one yet, as the switchable nosepiece they offer with the glasses made little difference. There is also a brightness enhacing option for 3D playback which seemed to make a difference in what can often be a dimmed experience with active lenses. There was some ghosting, but in extremely limited cases and I think it had to do more with the movie than the set or glassesd themselves. Animation tends to do fare better than live action, but after awhile you adjust. It's fun, but expensive to share with others given that each set of glasses is $50 and then you have to trust a child not to break them in some cases. As mentioned, inputs are plentiful in the sense that the majority of my components run through either an HDMI switcher and/or the receiver itself...so in reality, I only really use one TV input. The sound that comes from the TV is surprisingly loud. On one or two occasions I was startled by the unexpected audio that came on when I switched sources. Needless to say though, it won't replace a quality receiver and surround speakers. I've got an XBOX 360, PS3 and Wii U all hooked up and they look brilliant on the screen...even my wife a technophobe and non-gamer was impressed and wanted to get in on the action when I was playing. Although I still feel that Samsung's picture quality is superior overall, for the price, you can't beat the size. I'm glad I decided to get the extra 10" of screen real estate over a perceived gain in picture quality. Given that I upgraded from a 60" rear-projection LCD Sony from 2003, I couldn't really go wrong -- anything was an upgrade. After taxes, etc, this ended up being a little more than I wanted to spend, but as something that I hope will last 6-7 years, I think I made a great choice that should carry me through to the next generation of televisions. I'm actually doing more watching on the TV again versus my tablet devices. It's an enjoyable experience to watch and makes television and gaming fun for me again.

Great upgrade
Great but I shouldn't need a new tv for 8+ years. Solid investment if you can get a steal of a price like I was able to.

Great TV
The picture quality is fantastic with lots of setting to adjust to get it to look great in your space. Entry price is high compared to other comparable sized TV but is a 240 mhz refresh and 3d. If those don't interest you then there are other low price points available. There are several built in apps including Skype, Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Youtube. Has already been 2 firmware updates that have added additional apps since I first purchased so there could even be more on the way. There is a web browser that defaults to the Sharp website and took a bit of reading in the manual to figure out how to navigate away for their site. It is a 3d TV though I have not tried the 3d yet as it was not a major focus for my purchase. Price of glasses are expensive however and something to keep in mind with a 3d TV. Sound out of built in speakers is not great but if your in the market for this kind of TV you probably already have one or are looking at a sound bar. Would have given a 4.5 if the option was there as the only bad things I noticed was built in sound and the price is high but otherwise a great TV and I would recommend it.
