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 The more I read about the Samsungs, the more concerns I had about spending $5000 for a TV whose technology could be outdated in a few short years.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

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.

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... Read more
