Geez guys....let me get it in the door before you claim dibs on my leftovers.....just paranoid guys....i trust you otherwise id never have pulled the trigger site unseen. I have 3 other Sharp Aquos sets and have not been disapointed... so now the 52" gets ousted from the family room and demoted to my bedroom. All in all I'll be rockin Aquos 100% with an 80, 52, 42, and 37.

" Maybe I'm doing this babysitting gig to throw off the authorities "
Isn't your quote from Justified?
I just returned 2 Mitsubishi WD-82740's. Great picture for the price but I couldn't live with the geometry issues. I'm currently waiting for the 80' 844.

I honestly didnt even consider waiting for the new 80".....I wear glasses already and ill be dambed if im going to wear another pair over top just to view 3d....I would definately not pay a premium for 3d...and from what i gather from reading here, quattron is overated....3d that requires additional glasses will play out in under 5 years....mark my words...

Honestly I think the 80" is a great display but truth be told when compared against other displays in the same price range (around $4K) it does not directly compete. Now obviously those sets are much smaller and do not offer nearly the same immersion. The reality here is that most people are seeing a very solid display that is 80 f r e a k i n g inches and the sheer impact of that has an effect.

Note: I do not own the 80" but have spent time viewing a properly calibrated 80" on many occasions.

With that said I don't think anyone should be questioning the purchase of one of these beasts.

Jason I respect your words but whats your point? This post leaves me confused. I will say the pq on the 80 slays pretty much all other sharp models down the size spectrum...especially the quattron models. Were you referring to another brand perhaps

I own one, and I own a 65" Panasonic Plasma. The Sharp is easily as good, and it is no competition when size enters the equation.

Which other sets at this price point are you referring to? It's hard to assess your comment without knowing what those other, better performing sets are.

Thanks,

Nick

Not sure since my set doesn't do that, but I'd suspect the source, unless you're tuning with the TV's tuner. Anyone else seeing this?

My eye level will be at about 38-40" from the floor and I would like to mount the set so that the bottom of it is at about that height. Do you guys think this will cause a degradation in picture or uncomfortable viewing?? Thanks in advance.

At 14' you can get away with viewing off-axis somewhat, but at nearly 20" above eye level, like Slappy said, you'll need a tilting mount. Will it cause neck discomfort with prolonged viewing, no idea. Maybe someone with a higher mounted set will respond...and they are out there.

When switching OPC to on at one point luminance ouput went from 47ftl to 17ftl. With OPC off you can change the range settings to anything you want with no effect on the picture.

I didn't realize that. Thanks!

Yes, I can believe someone with enough expertise and experience can notice the differences between this set and better sets, but I'm willing to bet the average to above average viewer without a side-by-side comparison will NOT be able to criticize this set...as the myriad of positive testimonials in this thread support.

About the responses I expected from those that own the 80", I had a feeling I should have just kept my honest opinion to myself, that's a lot of coin to fork over after all. I know others in the industry that agree with what I have stated and most of the people at the local high end AV shops agree as well (even though they sell the display).

There are honestly several sets that come to mind that outclass the 80" 632 (and please keep in mind that I do own a 60" 632 so I am not being brand biased). There are sets from Sony, LG, Panasonic and Samsung that best this display regarding over-all image quality once properly calibrated (I also own a higher end Samsung 3D Plasma). Now do they offer the same wow factor, of course not, same immersion, no way (I also have a 120" front projection set-up so I perfectly understand immersion).

Please do not take what I have stated out of context, it's a GREAT display that I would enjoy owning. I just didn't want to see people thinking not only are they getting an 80" display but also top tier performance vs other sets in the price range (which as I stated are not nearly as large).

Yes I am an avid videophile and as such I am more critical than most so take my opinion as you will. Also please keep in mind me sharing my critical opinion is not in any way a personal insult to any 80" owners, I know some here can get a little bent out of shape over an opinion that differs from their own.

Hey Suzook,

Been reading through plenty of these Sharp threads on these beasts, 70 and 80inch.

I'm moving back to the UK very soon and they sell the 70inch Quattron Aquos 3D and non Quattron 3D or the 80inch Aquos non 3D.

I was leaning towards buying the 70inch Quattron 3D until I just read that post.

Are you suggesting I would be better off -if I have the room - getting the 80inch non 3D Aquos then even though it is an edge lit and not full array backlit ??

Thanks

Your entitled to your opinion but just be prepared for rebuttal.....and being an avid videophile (I mean really, where is the book that describes that because in reality we all are in some way) doesnt mean you have any more of a keen eye than the next guy. And im sorry....including LG in any comparison means you should be instantly forced to go back to a crt tv for the rest of your natural born life... ;-(

Im willing to bet ive had 3x times the number of panels you have had and still think I am an average joephile.....

The 80 inch 632 is full array and by many seen as a better panel all around as it does not induce the pq penalty ridden fourth pixel. So yes if you can get the 80 over the London bridge I say go for it mate!!!

LOL, how did I know one of the first to toss out a personal insult would be Suzook (just a hunch). I have no issue with a 'rebuttal' (obviously you do) and expected it but this does not give you or anyone else permission to toss out personal insults.

Actually some of the high end LG's have fantastic images and calibrate better than any of the Sharps (Elite's included), they offer some of most accurate displays out there.

Please do not get into this again with me, you'll end up looking foolish in the end (just as before), I have no desire to argue with you Suzook! We all have a right to our opinions and a right to express those opinions as long as forum rules are not broken (you just broke one).

Well there you go, average joephile. I am NOT by any means an 'average joephile', I am an avid enthusiast with fairly extensive AV knowledge and experience (25+ years) = serious videophile.

Ok first, try your best and fail.
Second, no insult just facts but then again they hurt
Lastly...shootout 2011...LG was DEAD last.

Hey you can sputter on here all you want but im willing to bet im not the only one who dislikes your elitist attitude. I am here to help many. You just cast out indifference my friend....searches for ignore button

Ciao pimp

P.S. I cant argue with some who thinks an LG looks better than an Elite. Id rather shoot myself first to get past the ensuing mysery

Where is my fastslappy when I need him...oh right watching his second rate 80

I also have an LC-70LE735U. I can say unequivocally, the LC-80LE632U has a better picture. That is saying a lot since the 735 is a higher series and it is also smaller (smaller sets tend to look better).

I have quite a few LCD TVs (10 to be exact). The previous best in my home was a Sony KDL-52Z5100 or maybe a Samsung LN65B650 (hard to pick between them). I believe that this set is better. I am VERY happy with it.

I was hesitant to get this because I was somewhat disappointed by the LC-70LE735U, but I couldn't be happier. (well, if it were free I'd be happier)

One bad thing about this set. It really ticks you off at ESPN, FOX, ABC. I noticed this previously with the 70". Football games on those broadcasters that are 720P looks noticeably worse than football on NBC or CBS.

Suzook (in case anyone decides to quote ),

You deserve to have your AVS privilege revoked, only people that can't have intelligent discussions/debates resort to insults.

You simply know you have come across somebody that knows more than you do and this is why you respond in such a manner. If anyone feels elitist it is you in these Sharp threads, you cannot stand an opinion that varies from your own.

Again you misread to suit your agenda... I did not say LG looks better than an Elite, I said LG offers a model that calibrates out more accurate than any Sharp (Elite included) and offers better over-all IQ than the Sharp 80" 632.

Please keep in mind I am not only implying LCD displays.

Thank you for adding me to your ignore list, I appreciate it more than you (for those reading along you can tell him I said thank you).

* Aside from all that nonsense, I said it's a great display, seems that was overlooked and only reality was somehow taken offensive!

Anyone that truly thinks they not only have the largest widely available consumer flat panel but also the very best image quality under $4K... I am sorry to say they have a case of purchase justification, I mean come on, please at least be realistic and honest. It's truly illogical to think this 80" bests all other sub $4K displays regarding over-all IQ.


Regards,
Jason

Went with a Sanus VMDD26B for about 200 bucks but apparently it's no longer made. Night and day difference. I love the Sanus mount.

I am (or actually was) impartial....but I will jump into this fray because this sort of thing never ceases to amaze me. Let me get this straight. You don't own this set, nor does it appear that you plan to own this set, yet you felt compelled to come into this thread and give us your opinion that:

"I think the 80" is a great display but truth be told when compared against other displays in the same price range (around $4K) it does not directly compete"

and then followed it up with this inflammatory comment:

"About the responses I expected from those that own the 80", I had a feeling I should have just kept my honest opinion to myself, that's a lot of coin to fork over after all. I know others in the industry that agree with what I have stated and most of the people at the local high end AV shops agree as well"

What is the point of those comments? They serve no purpose other than to bait people. You are free to do as you choose, but this is an owners thread. Do you feel better going around making people think that they wasted money? Why do you feel so compelled to offer your "honest" opinion where it isn't wanted? Do you troll all of the other LCD owners threads for other sets you don't own and give your opinion on those? I have been online since the early 1991 (Gopher days) and there have always been and apparently always will be people like you.

And again, I don't know Suzook from Adam, and to my impartial view, you are the instigator here.

One last gem of a comment " I just didn't want to see people thinking not only are they getting an 80" display but also top tier performance vs other sets in the price range"

Gee thanks for that pimp. You are quite the philanthropist. Hear ye hear ye. Da Pimp has spoken.

Lets drop this because certain people we all know are just here either due to envy, hate or just plain stupid. The face that that joephile was picked up as an insult should be your first indicatore......

It started with the my settings are better than your settings rock throwing and just got dumb. Owners and all are welcome but we can never prevent bottom feeders.

Thread back on track in three...two...one...

This reminds me of a guy I work with. Seriously, it is like his brain doesn't have the same filter as everyone else. (The guy at work). An example, another person at work comes in and says:
"Hey I bought a new Acura TL over the weekend"

Guy with brain filter problem: "Oh, I would have bought a Lexus IS350, it is much better. What did you pay?"

Guy with new car: "$45,000" (I can't remember what it was, I am just throwing that out)

Guy with brain filter problem: "Oooh...you paid way too much. You paid too much and you could have had a better car with the Lexus IS"

I had to pull the guy aside afterwards to try to explain to him that his comments and opinions were pointless and were rather stupid.
