Sharp - AQUOS Q+ Series - 70" Class (69-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - Smart - 3D - HDTV

WOW!! Coming from a Sony 60" DLP to the Sharp LC-70TQ15U is just AMAZING! I have replaced the lamp on the Sony 3 times and the Sharp by far has a better and brighter picture. This is the BEST 1080p TV out there currently that does 3D (no glasses but you can get them around mid $30) and SMART tv. The 3D is bright and SHARP, no ghosting. Love the fact that it upscale 1080p to almost 4K. Sitting 10 feet away, my eyes will not be able to distinguish the upscaling. 4K is good if you sit like 4 feet from your TV. HA HA!! The SMART function is pretty good. There are a lot of apps and multiple streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Cinema Now, Youtube, Pandora to name a few). Also there is a fast button on the remote for Netflix and 3 that you designate on the remote. I love the SHARP APP for the iPhone. It makes my iPhone into another remote and does more than the remote by giving a TV guide and suggestions. Set up was easy. I have the following connections: 1 HDMI to Directv box; 2 HDMI to AppleTV; 3 HDMI to PS4; 4 HDMI to PS3; Components to Wii. All connected to my old trusty Yamaha RX-V661 (mostly for surround sounds. I like to have a direct connect from source to TV for video). All works flawlessly. I hard wired my TV with my Linksys Powerline system (no buffering or lost connection). I went to the AV Forum for calibrating the TV picture setting but where my TV is placed, the USER default is perfect. I can't ask for anything easier than that! I bought the LC-70TQ15U on sale and the following week it went up $200 still "on sale" (Nicccceee....I just made a profit! LOL). I have mine on the same entertainment center that the Sony was on. The Sharp is about 1/2 inch further than the base of the entertainment center. I like the fact that the TV base is squarish and is in the center. The TV is 90+ pounds. I noticed the LC-70SQ15U was sold by non Best Buy Store. So what the difference you may ask? The TQ (Best Buy exclusive) has a 15W sub woofer with two 10W speakers. The SQ has two 10W speakers. The TQ has a brush aluminum bezel and SQ has a plastic bezel. The bezel and sub woofer accounts for the weight difference of the TQ and SQ (70+ pounds). Overall, I am impress with the LC-70TQ15U. I am going to call Sharp about the IR blaster to "control" the Directv box. The IR blaster connects to the USB connection in the back. I have not notice any blurring and pixelated screen yet. The PS4 looks vivid, bright, clean and SHARP! This is a PERFECT 1080p Hybrid LED TV on the market! Sharp, you hit a HOME RUN with the LC-70TQ15U!

When I first turned this TV on I wasn't very happy. I went through all the pre-set picture modes and couldn't find one I liked. Before returning it and buying a Samsung I decided to order Disney's WOW TV Calibration DVD. After following the DVD instructions and calibrating all the video settings I can honestly say I have the picture exactly the way it should be and I'm very happy with this TV. One thing to note is Sharp has a Film Mode setting in the Advanced Settings. It was turned on by default. I watched broadcast TV and a Blu Ray disk and the picture had that strange soap opera effect and I began to get dizzy. I went through the picture settings and found Film Mode and turned it off and the problem went away. It seems these manufacturers add features to their TVs that really are unnecessary and for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would watch this TV with Film Mode turned on. That being said I can honestly say that, once properly calibrated, this TV produces one of the best pictures I have ever seen. I still haven't played around with its Smart TV features or watched a 3D movie on it yet and feel these are just added bonuses to this wonderful TV. It's definitely a keeper!

We had this TV installed and wall mounted. This TV is absolutely amazingly spectacular. 4 hdmi inputs, 3D, netflicks, etc.. I can't help but to stop and stare at this TV as I walk into the living room. If one word can describe it, it would be "GASP". If you got the wall size to fit this TV and the money, definitely a MUST BUY. We got 4 pairs of 3D glasses and it is just like being in a movie theater! You will want a sound bar because no flat screen I have ever heard has much for sound so my expectations were low for sound. Although, that said, the sound isn't "bad", but the Sharpe sound bar we got makes this TV go over the top for satisfaction.

After a bad Saturday morning I had with BB delivery crew... I decide to upgrade from Sony KDL70W850B to SHARP AQUOS Q+ and personally decide to handle the deliver myself...long story.! Now let's talk about this Q+ HDTV and what I can say from compering to my 55” Panasonic Viera plasma TV...I am sorry but you can't compare any LCD LED TV with a PLASMA TV. If you just want a large 70" screen for your living room this Q+ is just the LCD LED TV you may look for. I am not that happy with the black level and super bright colors that this screen can make, but is decent till we all can afford an OLED TV. Also no 3D glasses came with the TV !! Now this TV is just close to be amazing except that the TV stand was scratched out of the box :-/ ( see pictures ) and the back plastic stand cover that after you screw it in is lose and wobbling !! Maybe this is why I decided to mount this TV on the wall. Sound on this TV is like every LCD TV...poor and it does need a sound bar.  Be aware that this TV is heavy and getting it out of the box it may require a friend or your neighbor…don’t ask your wife or your kid to help you with this TV because you ask for trouble. It’s too heavy! The instruction manual is available for download @ https://www.sharpusa.com/CustomerSupport/ProductDownloads.aspx The remote control is capable to control your Cable box, DVD/B-ray and if you lucky your Audio . Enjoy and don't go crazy on full 4K technology Ultra HD TV it may be 7 years till this technology will be fully implemented.

This Tv is everything I expected. Good for watching and gaming. I do a ton of research and check tech reviews when it come to purcjasing electronics. In conclusion, also get the wall mount and intall from geek squad. this will include a 5 year warranty full coverage if anything happens. I love it!

Couldn't be happier. I replaced a 55" LG to this 70" Sharp, and the difference is night and day. Super clear picture, and paired with a 4k up-convert Sony Blu Ray player, Blu Rays look even more amazing.

Over all TV is great! Picture quality is amazing and set up was very easy!

I recently purchased a Sharp LC-70TQ15U on 4/30/15. It was delivered 2 days later which was great. upon setup from the delivery drivers, I noticed a vertical red line going down the middle of the TV. OH NO! I went down to the store and told best buy about it and they did another exchange for it. While I was waiting for my new delivery setup....I went over to the TV area and talked to the sales person and told them the situation. they were very nice about it told me they just got a sharp TV that came in the warehouse that I might be interested in. Long story short, I ended up exchanging the 70" TQ series for the 80" LE-857u model. I was so excited....because I was wanting to get an 80" in the first place. The TV gets delivered a couple days later and the delivery guys pulled it out, set it up and turned it on! GUESS WHAT?????? I immediately get happy at the size and look of the TV and then.....NOOOOOOOO. I start to cry inside. I see a horizontal line through the whole screen!!!!!! AGAIN....really!!!! 2 different Sharp TV's in 2 weeks. Long story short, I called Best Buy and they tell me that they no longer carry the same 80" TV and that my only option is to pay the difference of $1500 for another 80" or get a refund. Best Buy was not helpful at all. They wouldn't even try to fix it either. Seems to me that they don't care too much about their customer complaints or by making things right!!!!!! So, I called Sharp since it is under warranty and told them of the same issue. All they told me is that they need to look further into my case and that this is a long process to determine the outcome. The reason why they say that...is because after reading complaints from previous Sharp customers....if Sharp decides to replace the TV; they will replace it with a REFURBISHED TV and give a 90 warranty!!!!! I lose out no matter what. After reading all the complaints, issues and first hand of 2 bad TVs in 2 weeks; I won't buy anything from Sharp again or BEST BUY. Its obvious that both companies are losing business by not making things right and taking care of their customers. The customers that have complaints or issues should be the most important. I hope this helps people. Thank You
