quick question - do either of you notice the green blob/band on your sets that you can see in my pics (page 6)? If there is a transition scene or if it is a dark scene, it's show up. The clouding is not an issue, but the blob is.

Very impressive at a great price too. The low weight of the unit (versus size) means you don't need a special base cabinet to support it either.

I read through the IP control section in the manual, but I am not really sure what to do with the codes since I will not be controlling the TV via PC software.

My set stands about 5' 11" from the floor to the top of the bezel while sitting on an old dresser. I sit roughly 10 feet from it at about a 30 to 40 degree angle left of center. I'm also about 5' 11" tall so I'm looking at the TV dead on while standing, and sitting I come in at pretty much dead center screen. I see no loss in PQ sitting or standing. As I walk around the room at more exterme angles, both closer and further away I don't see any loss either.

I don't want to even try and talk for Chad. But what I think he's been trying to tell us is that when he looks at a set it's on a different level than most of us mere mortals. He does this for a living and sees much more of a variety of TVs in real life viewing conditions.

If anyone is reading Chad's words as being negative; Best advice I can give. Go see the set for yourself if you can. I have owned both front projection SD (Sony 50in) and rear projection HD (Pansonic 53in ) Veiwing angles on the 70in Sharp are worlds apart from that old tech. Even today's DLPs don't compare.

That 13 feet is why I want every possible inch I can get from a FP because a Projector is not possible with my room. The room is only about 16 feet wide and the couch is dead center.

Just torn between the Panny 65ST30 and the Sharp.

I too have couch in the room, (garage) also sitting directly across from the TV. However, the back cushions of my couch would messure about 18ft away. The couch also sits a little lower than my recliner. So yes I even tried to measure what the height my eyes are sitting there. lol Anyway it comes in at about 40 inches. I then took the tape over to the TV, where 40 inches comes in at 4 inches up from the bottom of the screen. ( not the bottom of the body of the TV ) There is no feeling of having to look up at all. And no sence of loss of PQ of any kind.

In the end the TV you choose should be the one you like the best. Be it palsma or LED-LCD. You should go and see them both for yourself if posible. It seems that the Sharp is starting to show up in more places now. Just take your time, wait a little while longer to see if you can see one. I can't imagine a bigger hastle than to order a set this size, not like it and have to return it.
