Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Where do I start... First of all, I did some solid research before deciding on this TV. I was researching TV's non stop for about 2 weeks before I made my purchase. I went into American and Best buy, searched the internet top and bottom to find the best deal, on the best TV that I could find. I am the type of person that doesn't make a big purchase like this unless I feel that I am getting the best deal possible. I initially was looking at the "Big Brands" for LED TV's, Samsung and Sony. In the store, the picture on those TV's looked much better than the Sharp TV's that they had right next to them for comparison. I wanted at least a 55", 3D I think is a fad, and was impartial to whether or not it had 3D capabilities, I feel that you lose production value with 3D, since the resolution is cut in half when you are watching it, plus who wants to wear 3D glasses when you're watching a movie at home on your couch. Leave it for the theatre where you get the full experience. After massive online research, I went with this Sharp solely because of the reviews that it had on Amazon, no one had a bad thing to say about it. And it was $500 cheaper than the 3D version of the 60" sharp, and $800 - $1000 cheaper than a compareable Samsung or Sony! You don't realize how much you pay for that label on the front! The one thing that I was considering was a 240HZ over a 120HZ, but as far as picture clarity and smoothness, I feel that it does not make a noticeable difference at all. I can't wait to watch football on this thing. Out of the box the picture was beautful, easy set up with the stand, pretty self explanatory. I did notice some discrepencies with the picture, but the settings that are listed in the other review on here really fixed it and made it perfect. I saw some reviews complaining that the picture almost looked like a set on a movie and didn't look like an actual show. I noticed that myself, but found that it was easily fixed by displaying it in movie mode, and problem solved. You have to realize these are not your run of the mill TV's there so many extra settings for picture quality on this TV and you may need to adjust it for each show, sport, or movie that you are watching to get the picture correct. So anyone complaining about that, stop being a Simpleton, read some reviews and learn how to use your electronics that you just shelled out $1500, before griping about it in a review. You also have to realize that in stores, they make the less expensive TV's look like crap compared to the big brands that the markup is much higher on. Put this thing up against any Samsung or Sony on the market and you will not see a difference. I feel that I did get the best possible deal on a 60" LED TV that you can get, I am very happy with this purchase, and if you are looking for the same. Buy this TV. Kudos to Amazon and their home direct shipping, their customer service people are a bunch of off shore foreigners, nothing against them, but they are just not that knowledgable, good thing their site functionality is top of the line and their home direct shipping is pretty legit too, everything went as explained and had no issues through the entire process That is all.
