Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I just picked up one of these over the weekend and so far, so good. This review is based on initial impressions and limited play time, so I may update this post in the future. AESTHETICS: It pretty much looks like every other LCD TV out there. Black bezel all around, small manufacturer logo on the bottom. There is a somewhat irritating "system on" light on the bottom of the unit when the TV is on, but this can be turned off in the setup menu. All in all, it's a good looking unit and while not as thin as some LED units, is still plenty svelte for your wall. PERFORMANCE-VIDEO: I am by no means an expert, but so far, the picture looks great. Out the box, the contrast and Brightness were turned way up along with the 120Hz processing, which gives you the "soap opera effect". Once I turned off all of the "extras" and turned down the contrast and brightness, I got a much more natural picture. Viewing blu-ray on this is something to behold. Regular TV (non-HD) doesnt look all that great, but to be honest, most of my viewing is HD content. (I use Directv currently) Videogaming is fine, no lag issues (Xbox 360 and PS3). Again, I'm not a professional gamer and I play occasionally, so me noticing a difference of 1-2MS is lost on me. PERFORMANCE-AUDIO: I use a separate audio system so I have no clue how the speakers sound. Let's be honest, why would you drop 3k on a TV and then depend on the internal speakers? AT a minimum get yourself a soundbar. EXTRAS: This would be the widgets and Apps included onboard. The widgets are neither here nor there for me. I usually have my phone nearby, so interrupting my TV watching to check stocks or look at twitter is something I wont be doing. The ability to pull up Netflix and pandora on the TV though is great. (I previously used my Xbox for Netflix). I jacked an ethernet cable into the TV, so I'm unsure now the wi-fi works (I've read reviews where the signal strength isn't very strong, so be warned). Overall, this is a great TV and most retail outlets including BB is willing to deal on price, so go in ready to negotiate! I guess the only thing missing is 3D and to be honest, I could care les. 3D is not a closer for me. It'd be nice to have, but I was looking for a 70" with great picture quality, so I'm happy. 4 stars as a 5 star review would be for something with Pioneer Elite Picture quality. Hope this review helps those who are still on the fence.

I have had this TV for over a week now and very happy with it. Colors are much more vivid. Easy setup and use. Connected to internet easily. VUDU comes through very well. Especially good with a Blu Ray player. A little large but very good TV

We've done a lot of research, we had a 65" Mitsubishi Projection TV, and this TV blows everything away. The clarity of color and picture is like being LIVE at the scene. It actually takes some getting used to because it is SO life-like. We watched a movie on BlueRay and the picture is astounding. TV programs aren't quite the same, because of variations in filming, but they are way better than anything we've seen before. There is a slight adjustment to get used to when watching HD channels...fast movement seems odd but It does benefit you to play around with the settings. Defaults are good, but Dynamic took it to a whole other level. The brightness of color is phenominal. For the money, this TV can't be beat. You will want external speakers as the TV itself really isn't SOUND intense. The BestBuy staff was very knowlegeable in explaining the differences we asked about between this and other brands. Top Quality!

Set the TV up and adjusted the colors using the Disney WOW disc. Excelllent color, resolution, and brightness. Removed the overscan and got pixel to pixel resolution. Not washed out or pixelated even with a large screen. The fourth color requires setting the colors by eye, but the video setup helped. I think this is outstanding value for the price. Didn't feel the need to go 3D which would have cost slightly more for a smaller screen. Made the right choice an went with the larger screen. Had the TV for 6 weeks and have no regrets.

We looked at alot of TV's in the 55" to 60", but when we saw the new set from Sharp we couldn't believe the color difference and picture quality. Very pleased with the ease of operation and set-up. Kudo's to Sharp.

This is the best! Picture quality is so good you think it is happening right in your room. The addition of the color yellow really makes all the other colors pop. I love everything about this TV. It's worth every penny!
