But again, I posted the 5% off coupon which is still decent and it DOES work.

Does that mean there is a working 20% off coupon for a $3999 price? That would put the set at $3200!

As for the question of weather the 632 will be phased out - already answered. Sharp reps confirmed they will have a 645 later this year that will replace the 632.

Any luck Suzook? I'd love to see some profile, angle, and frontal shots of your setup and that low profile mount. I'm planing for my unit to sit no higher than 6ft and am not so sure I need a tilt mount since the panel is so massive.

No, it is a 20% off sale they are having. So that doesn't allow you to use to 10% off coupon you get for joining their mailing list. However, if you use the 5% off coupon I posted, price become $3799 prior to tax.

as it lists only the 60" & 70" in the 6XX series and those models are Edge Lighted displays ,

there are reports already of issues with the 640....

It's not official, but it's a pretty good source.

buried on the 844 page is this correction that the LC-80LE645U is Vap0rware
( I think the guy was just miss-taken OR he miss-understood what he was told OR was fed a line of BS by a salesman rep Or had one too many Free drinks @ the cocktail party L O L )

This post has been updated corrected since its initial publication. The original post referred to a model LC-80LE645U with 120Hz refresh rate and 4K resolution. The only 80-inch 3D model Sharp announced at the show is the LC-80LE844U with a 240Hz refresh rate and standard 1080p resolution.

Read more: http://www.cnet.com/8301-33379_1-573...#ixzz1oN5szKzm

I had a sense that the report was flawed but this is buried, not on the page that was linked, BUT on the pre-view page of the 844 done by C/Net . Mystery solved
So to put things in a better light seems that the 1st report "Sharp TVs 2012:60 is the new small " was not corrected (which is the page linked by Rockaway 1836 )& the 844 report WAS corrected to show that there is Not a 645 in the 2012 line-up.
.. confused Yet ??


IMO the 80" 632 is going to be phased out soon ,
.............................Just when will that 80" 632 be gone ??????????????

I think it's gone as soon as Sharp can figure out HOW to Edge Light a 80" display & that will be soon very soon . I M H O
(it's just Cheaper to make an Edge lit display thereby reducing production costs, which in turn maximizes profit)

agin for a 80" display that has all &/Or mostly all full 100% satisfaction by current buyers , Ya'll have been warned ...............................
Inexpensive Full Array Back Lighted Displays are soon to be an Extinct Exotic Animal .. the full array back lit 70"er's are now extinct as we speak !

Confusing? Maybe. But the 2 reports are by different authors. I can't see how one is correcting the other. The one I linked is clearly not official info, just anecdotal.

The 645 is coming out. They mentioned it to media pre-CES. However, at CES they didn't officially release it so it's not yet official. The first link just reiterates what he was told pre-CES.

The 2nd link, a different author, is not stating that Sharp won't release the 645. He simply removed it from his article and stated it is a article correction because the 645 was not officially announced. Looks like he pre-wrote his article from the pre-CES info and then had to correct the "official" release info. He didn't retract that Sharp will produce the 645, just reiterated that officially "The only 80-inch 3D model Sharp [officially] announced at the show is the LC-80LE844U"

Look for the 645 80" to be edge lighted if it does appear this year(I'm not saying it's not gonna show up,just saying nothing is set in stone )

all this goes to the validity of my case that the 832 80" is a one-off display that will be a rare classic display soon due to it being an mid/low priced Full Array back lighted model .Sharp wants everyone to pay a premium price for all future back lit arrays Everyone will agree that Sharp will play the 70"+ Class of displays for all the profit they can as they are the only Game in town in the 70"+ club

Great read, thanks.

The timing of that expected 4k display (end of 2012 early 2013) dovetails perfectly with the expected timing for the 645u. Initial reports from the pre CES info was that the 645 would be 120hz and 4k. I always assumed the 4k was a mistake by the author or that it was just an advance feature mentioned by the manufacturer that would not make it in the final shipped product as usually happens (only that didn't jibe with Sharp's history, they usually come through with what they announce - unlike LG and especially Vizio).

Maybe their way of keeping 80" prices high is to release a fully loaded 844u for $6500 (probably $5k street) then a 120hz non-3D 80" with 4k for a similar price using the 4k as a premium feature. They could then release a higher end 945 set with 3D, 240hz, and 4k.

Or maybe the 4k set he's describing is the 90"!

Appreciate it mate. Those settings were shared by another member who I helped get a deal :-) they are post calibration (isf) which was done by non other than the famous Kevin Miller. He is considered to be one of the top three isf calibrators out there. Its meant for a fairly light controlled environment

Cheers

Just started a settings thread for everyone receiving your TV's. Nice place to start with calibration and obviously please share your settings if you get your set-up looking good.

Well, I finally bit the bullet last night. My local BB had a cool general manager who worked with me. I brought in every printed add I could off line and even though they didn't meet the specs of price matching ( something to do with 15 miles from the store) he got me to $4200 OTD. I was really happy with that, especially because I got 36months no interest on BB card. Now I jsut have to wait until Monday for it to come in.

For you guys that have been getting it from US Appliance - how has the delivery worked? Do they bring the box in to your room? Do you have to get it off the truck yourself? I've had issues with other places with big items like this and trying to determine just what constitutes "delivery" in their terms.

For me they were great. Brought it in to the room, very friendly. Helped me unpack to make sure it was OK. Then I gave them $20 to haul away my old set ... and when I say "old set" I mean it.

The TV this one replaced was a 60" Mitsu from 1983!!! No kidding.

Did you have the "white glove" shipping option?

Great for me. They brought it all the way in the house. Asked if I wanted them to unpack it, but I wasn't ready for the install yet.

No white glove here either, just "curbside." I tipped them as well.

I'm about to order this today as well. I also had a question about whether to get white glove or not. From the replies, it appears I won't need to pay for white glove?

It sounds like a nice tip will get the tv unboxed and my old tv moved to another room?

If you are a new US Appliance customer, be sure to pick someone to get a $50 referral check. There are a lot of prior US Appliance customers on this thread who are deserving. You will need their REAL name, and order number fof their set...
