I happened upon a shopping network that spent an hour promoting this TV. I got interested and did as much researching as I could then finally ordered it through Amazon. Right out of the box without any adjustments I could hardly believe my eyes, the picture was just great and the sound is also very good. The contrast on this TV is claimed at five million to one due to the extra yellow pixel. Don't know about 5 million but I will say the contrasts this TV produces are the best I've ever seen and by a long-shot. I will say this TV has the best and most real looking color of any TV I've ever seen, it's really something to see. A few nit-picks are that the volume button is to close to the channel up-down button on the remote, you have to be careful in the dark adjusting the volume or you go to an over the air channel by mistake then you have to redo your input selection.

Several weeks back, we ordered this TV from Modia through Amazon.com. The TV arrived in poor shape, large holes in the box exposing the TV itself. We refused delivery and Amazon.com was very prompt in refunding our money. Modia was most uncooperative in resolving this situation. Needless to say, we will not be doing business with Modia evermore.

After the disappointing delivery, the order from Vanns arrived in pristine shape, including the box in which it was packed. And at a price of nearly $150 less.

The TV was easy to connect including a 10/12-year old receiver that allows us to watch our laser disc collection. Picture and sound are great. I would recommend Amazon.com, Vanns and Sharp to anyone looking for a great TV at a great price with excellent customer service.

After deciding to go HD, we waded through the confusing jungle of equipment and options. We chose this TV for its picture quality and style, which do not disappoint. It was unexpectedly easy to unpack and set up, only requiring a screwdriver to attach the base securely. Since it is very heavy (not surprising for the size of it), having home delivery was a great option. It was awesome for watching football and we can't wait to explore more programming. Now if someone would just do something about the ridiculous cable HD charges.
