For true 1080P the perfect visual acuity distance is about 10.5 feet.

Let me explain more.

I walked into my local wal-mart and they had this 80" TV (lc-80le632u) + blu-ray player (Aquos BD) + subwoofer (unknown) + sound bar (Sharp ht-sl75) on sale for $2,000. Here are my questions:

1) Is this a good deal? Please consider its been playing finding nemo 24x7 for 6 months on blu-ray loop. It is a display model.
2) Is my room large enough to properly enjoy this TV or should I stick with the 65"?
3) Any other comments/suggestions?

I primarily watch video content from a home theater PC feeding the device via HDMI.

Just an update. I bought it. Now to find someone to get it home.

The blu-ray player was a 3d-variety by aquos. Seems kind of redundant having netflix on TV + blu-ray.... and TV isn't 3d. However I've been told there's some aquoslink benefits or whatnot.

Apparently, they said I can take the whole display if I want to get it home :P.

You are much more likely to trade it in or give it away long before the LED's are burnt out. So long as it comes with a full Sharp warranty and you can get the cheap Sharp extended warranty - this is a NO BRAINER. Get it while you can. I would be surprised if it's still available.

1) Outside of size, what improvements will I notice as compared to my old Olevia 65" LCD set (http://www.avsforum.com/t/919914/olevia-65-inch-1080p-lcd)? PQ? Features? Suitability for video gaming? How much of a "wow" improvement? Power bill savings?

2) Anything I need to do once the unit is received? Calibration? Settings?

Yeah, I can definitely relate to that. I get real excited when I read about the new technologies, but, in all honesty, after living with my 80-632U for about 1-1/2 Yrs. I am still thrilled when I fire it up at night and watch a good movie. It doesn't get a whole lot better than that. Truth be told, I get a little disappointed now when I go to a movie theater (IMAX exception) and notice the blurry picture, zero pop, and mostly washed out color and poor blacks (not to mention the 24 fps judder that has driven me crazy my entire life!). BUT....it is HUGE, but maybe that's not enough anymore. Still waiting to see a 4K presentation but no theaters near here. I would guess that it looks similar to IMAX and that is a very worthwhile improvement over the 2K DLP theaters that have taken over in the Vancouver BC area the last couple of years.

I too saw The Hobbit as a 48 fps presentation and found the motion very smooth (NO perceivable judder - Yeah!!) and a lot less blur than typical with 24 fps. All in all, a big improvement over 24 fps. I have no idea why some people don't like it?????? Can't explain why you saw jutter. I suspect you may not have been viewing a true 48 fps presentation. My eyes are really sensitive to motion irregularities and artifacts. That is one of the reasons I've never tried DLP sets and have always disliked 24 fps. Whenever I saw one, I became aware of the rainbow colors almost immediately.
So, to get rid of judder with your 633U, you can set your Film Mode to Advanced High or Low. That will definitely get rid of all the judder in movies BUT will introduce occasional fuzzy artifacts around objects in motion as they interact with the background. You may find that less objectionable.
Some media players and PVR's also seem to have problems syncing with some TV's and will sometimes judder along haphazardly until you reset them by stopping and restarting the presentation. I've noticed this with previous sets as well, so I'm not blaming my Sharp 80 for this.
Good luck. I hope you find a happy medium.

One question though - Do you get judder when you are watching 1080i 60fps program like CNN news or sports? That would pretty well clinch it. If that judders then something is wrong with your TV.
