Snagged this beautiful monstrosity on a Black Friday sale for $300 off (too good a deal to pass up on). I almost didn't pull the trigger, but I'm so darned glad I did. From what I've seen of it so far in the approximately 4 days I've had it and one day I've played with it, I love it. As long as it doesn't blow up or fall over, I'll be a happy camper!While I haven't yet played a Blu-Ray with it, I've upconverted the bare Avatar DVD and piped it through the Sony BD player via HDMI, and unless you're standing right up next to it, it looks absolutely fantastic. From the ~8-10 feet away my recliner's situated, it just looks stunning. I'm sure Blu-Ray will look even better at native 1080p.This TV isn't for the faint of heart or for only one person to set up. It's HEAVY. It's at minimum a 2-person job getting it out of the box, assembling the base and positioning it on your entertainment center. Did I mention it's heavy? Well, it's 60"! What did I expect? ;)I'm still fiddling with the controls to figure out what's the best way to view movies and such. I'm thinking I may have to leave the 'film' mode off, as I think that might be the anti-juddering smoothing feature that tends to give a very 'soap opera' visual effect. Like it does TOO GOOD a job cleaning up the picture. Especially on CGI / animated videos, it makes the CGI look VERY computer generated and a little mechanical rather than fluid like it should be.The unit comes with several pre-set display options you can flip through, some of them being standard, movie, etc. I assume they play with the brightness, contrast, color temperature. I think I've generally left mine on Standard or Film and just turned off the anti-juddering features and things look pretty normal.The colors seem vibrant and Avatar was just completely beautiful on the big screen, even with the standard definition source DVD. I've seen a number of units in the stores where the colors seem washed out or faded (poor contrast). Ad far as I can tell, this unit seems to have excellent color gamut.I'm fairly new to this, so YMMV.I'll just say that, so far, I'm impressed and don't regret this purchase in the slightest. Only thing I worry about is whether my existing entertainment center is sturdy / stable enough to hold the thing. I might end up buying a new smaller entertainment center that's lower to the ground and designed for the super huge screens, just to be safe. So far, it seem reasonably stable, though. & attaching the base wasn't all the difficult once I got the unit out of the box, which was a bit of a chore as I was ill-advisedly doing so on my own. The actual moving/setup I got help with though. Anyway, attaching the base is just basically inserting a metal bracket into the base and attaching 10 screws, then sliding those brackets attached to the base into the bottom of the TV and screwing in 4 more screw. Done. Pretty painless.It's got, I think 4 HDMIs (3 back, 1 side), 2 Composites/RCAs (1 back, 1 side), one component (back) and one coaxial (back), I think. And there might be an audio out / digital audio out too, if I remember right (I'd have to look).I think it usually takes about 5-10 seconds to warm up and come on?Oh, and it doesn't come with any built-in 'apps,' which is fine. I've got those via my Blu-Ray player, so it would probably be somewhat redundant anyway...I haven't yet figured out what OPC stands for (it keeps coming up at the bottom of the screen with a couple indicator icons next to it). I'm thinking it's maybe adjusting picture quality on the fly or something? If so, I wonder if there's a way to turn it off or at least turn off the indicator, as it can be a little distracting at times.It seems to come with a fold-out setup / quick start guide, but no manual per se? That's perhaps a little disappointing. I'd rather like to have something to refer back to once in a while and learn all the ins and out of the TV's functions / menus. Though most of the functions can be accessed through the Menu button and are largely self-explanatory.So, there's my thoughts on the matter. I hope they're helpful. Haven't found any major drawbacks yet other than just the fact it's just big and heavy... But, if you can get past that, and have a nice sturdy place to put it, so far I can't see much to complain about. I'll have to wait until I've played a BluRay through it to give a final word on the 1080p playback. But, the movies I've played through my new WiFi-enabled Blu-Ray player have been great to look at. Not sure whether they were HiDef or not, but I guess if I can't tell the difference unless I'm standing only ~12 inches way from the screen, it doesn't much matter does it? ;)

Finally found that more-or-less budget TV, and ordered it. Price was 1099.00. Not a great price, but not too bad. Amazon at least has a good policy for returns, so what's to worry, right?TV came on time, the shipper was great. Box had some forklift damage to it, but contents looked like they were in good condition. Only weird thing was that the remote already had batteries in it. Actually, not so weird. I've spoken to a few folks (sales people, shippers, techs), and they all agree that it was a used item. Batteries are not shipped installed, apparently. Buuuuuut since the TV was in good condition, I was willing to overlook the small "I paid for new, but got used" issue.Threw in a BluRay disc, and the picture looked great - we're gonna have some real TV viewing now, we are! Heck yeah!The next day I ran a calibration disc, and on the lower third of the screen, center line, was a 4" or so mark that was internal, and only showed when the screen was very light - like a sky, or a tablecloth, etc. No marring or mark external, but it looked like the screen was creased, or an edge had hit it, or.... whatever. But once noticed, it's always seen. So the TV had to go back. Called Amazon, arranged for return, and told them that I'd just like another TV of the same model.Nope, can't do that, Walt's has raised the price to 1249.00 now, and there's no way we can replace your TV, since Walt's won't replace it. You'll just have to buy another one for more money. (well, the Amazon rep didn't say that last sentence, but that's the reality of it.)Really? I mean...really? How's that for customer service?Buy something that's supposed to be new, and it's actually used? Then it's defective, and the seller refuses to replace it? (yep, as is their right, they can just refund the money...just as it's my right to throw this information out there as to their business practice. The old adage about sowing and reaping kinda springs to mind, ya know?)We'll be buying another TV soon, but we'll never buy anything from Walt's, ever.

This review is for the LC60E79U 60" Sharp Aquos. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sharp+-+AQUOS+/+60%26%2334%3B+Class+/+LCD+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+HDTV/3641541.p?id=1218422888626&skuId=3641541A Sharp ChoiceIt is midnight on Black Friday and I'm standing in line at Best Buy. Some people may say I'm crazy for being out on this day. I was in the market for a television and saw a great deal for one and couldn't pass it up. After hours of standing in line outside and inside, I finally got my television and I have to say it was well worth it. Along with the television being 60", it also is backed with many features including good refresh rate and great resolution. If you ever wondered what television to buy, I would say the 60" Sharp Aquos is a top choice.I'm a big movie person and I wanted to enjoy my DVDs on a nice big screen. With the Sharp Aquos being 60" from corner to corner, it was the best for optimal viewing in large rooms like my living room. I previously had a 32" and I have to say that I enjoy almost doubling my old TV in size. It is easy to move by myself too with it only being 92 lbs. with the stand on. You can mount the TV on the wall, but since I live in an apartment I'm not hanging it on their walls.One of the things people look for in televisions is the hertz. This Sharp Aquos is 120Hz. Hertz means the number of times the image on the TV is updated per second. So if the TV is 120Hz, this means the image is getting refreshed 120 times a second. This isn't the top refresh rate but it is not the lowest either. For what I needed out of a TV, the Sharp Aquos suits me just fine. It is a good fast-motion picture quality. The TV being 1080p isn't bad either. This number stands for the number of lines that create the image on the screen and the letter stands for the type of scan used by the TV to display the image. The more lines there are means the better the picture will be. There are three different kinds and the Sharp Aquos' 1080p is the top one. The active contrast helps make a greater sense of depth.People like to hook stuff up to televisions, so let's take a look at the back of the television. There are several inputs for all kinds of devices. The inputs include four HDMI, two components, two composite, four audio and one PC. HDMI is only high-speed connection to deliver a full HDTV experience with full 1080p and digital surround sound. If you don't want to upgrade to the HDMI there is the component and composite inputs that can be used for your DVD player or gaming consoles. You can also hook up your computer to the screen and use it as a big monitor. There is also a place for audio output. This is so you can have a stereo or surround sound hooked up to the television.I would say there is one down side to this Sharp Aquos and that would be the sound. There are only two speakers on this set and they put out only 20W of power. There is times where I can hear it just fine and then there is other time when I have to turn it up to the 40s but that also can be the channels. I would say if you are looking for a nice audio output then you might want to invest in a good surround system or just hook up a stereo to it and use those speakers.With the Sharp Aquos having a good refresh rate and great resolution, along with many inputs and being light weight, I believe I got a steal when I bought this TV. I would rate this 4.5 out of 5 with the only down side being the audio. Televisions with this kind of size and numbers cost in the thousands and I only paid in the hundreds. I would recommend the 60" Sharp Aquos to anyone looking for a nice television for a great price.
