For some things, size does matter
By N.Hugo
Once you go with a large TV, it's hard to go back to a smaller unit! This thing is HUGE. With viewing distances under 10 ft., 80 inches may be overkill. DirecTV/cable broadcasts that are heavily compressed do not look that great on the TV due to the artifacts, especially when seen up close. For things like Netflix and Blu-ray, they look great even from around 8 ft.

Right now, 4K TVs are not worth the cost of admission, especially when there is so little media available that support 4K at the moment. So instead of spending $12k+ for a large 4K TV, you may as well enjoy this TV for a few years, then upgrade to a 4K unit when there's enough content to support it and the TVs come down in price.

As far as the variations between the different Sharp models, I went with the 650 based off of negative CNET reviews of the higher Qurattron models. The color accuracy on the 650 is not perfect, but it's certainly good enough, especially for the price point (and size). With a few tweaks to the colors under settings using a blue filter, I was able to get the colors to a pretty solid place. The other recommendation is to turn off Film mode in Movie settings as it makes the compositions look awful.

For games, the unit has around 58ms of input lag. While acceptable for most people for most games, you will notice it if you are very sensitive to it. For games that require frame counting like fighting games, this will have a noticeable effect as you'll be approximately 3-4 frames behind at 60fps. But for most games, it should be within an acceptable/tolerable limit.

If 3D is a must have, get the higher models as the 650 does not support 3D.

Limited Range
By Becky Reeves
I only have two issues with this TV, which I LOVE otherwise.

First, I had to buy a second router to put on the same floor as the TV. It could not pick up my router on another floor.

Second, I bought a Sharp model HT-SB60 sound bar home theater system with wireless subwoofer to go with it. The sound is fantastic, but when I set the sound bar in front of the TV, it covers up the remote control sensor on the TV. Bad design! I don't want to mount it on the wall, so I have to put it behind the TV, which doesn't allow me to use the remote on the sound bar. If the TV stood up taller (above the sound bar) or Sharp moved the sensor on the TV to the top of the TV, there would be no problem. When I called Sharp, they acknowledged this is a problem for many people.

OMG this TV is unbelievable!
By Wayne Edward Boyd
I'll be honest with you. I did not buy this TV from amazon.com. I bought it from Sams Club because it was $100 cheaper and I could get it into my pickup truck then and there. However, this TV is so big that sat out in my garage for 3 weeks until I could get some friends over to help me set it up! It's huge. First and foremost. Big. Big. Big. Picture quality is spectacular. Brightness and pixilization flawless. I'm completely satisfied and I am not always so flattering in my reviews. Some reviews I read were not flattering. I'm not sure why. I have had no issues at all. I did read that the customer service was good but for now I have no need to worry about that. I have the biggest TV on the block and am very happy with my decision. Bright. Even lighting over the entire huge screen. No problem with pixilization on high def TV. It's not 3d but great price and wonderful quality. You can keep reading other reviews if you want but this is the one.
