what two prompts?

what two prompts?

After unplugging and plugging back in the first prompt acknowledges that the update failed and that you'll need to do it again. Once you click OK, the New Updates Available alert pops up again and you can kick it off. This time is says it will only take 7 minutes and finished normally.

Mine was similar. It said it would take 4 minutes, stopped at 67% again, then finally rebooted and finished normally.

mine same stuck at 67% and freeze any idie?

click No to two prompts what is that??? help help please shrap LC-C7450U

Mine went without a hitch. Said it was going to take 7 min., took like 4 min. I used wired. I'm wondering if those with the 67% freeze are using wireless. I have both but elected to use wired.

Does anybody know if can i use an-3dg30 glasseswith this tv?

UPDATE - So far I have tried both the G30 and the G20B's without any luck. Is there something I need to know about setting up 3d?

UPDATE - Actually no led light is turning on from the tv itself for a sync with glasses. Anybody had this happen?

I have a lc70le847u with the same problem (stuck at 67%). Will try downloading with a wired connection.

I decided to do the USB method this time around. Worked fine.

S~

Thanks a lot, glad to see I wasn't the only one stuck at 67%. Kinda scary to unplug during a update.
Got the prompts now I guess if I want to watch Netflix I'll have to update but this time I'll use USB.

I left the TV on overnight not knowing what to do sure glad Google led me here

Not sure why you're so adamant that the 844U does not have native 240Hz refresh rate and why it can't be adjusted. My old CRT monitors would run anywhere between 50 and 120 Hz. It's a simple internal adjustment, especially with today's digital circuitry. Except, for what I assume is, a simple 'cut and paste' error in the manual every other source including Sharp's info here: http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Models/LC80LE844U.aspx?tech_specs=1
where it clearly states that the PANEL NATIVE REFRESH RATE IS 240 Hz. and also states on a separate line: AQUOMOTION (Backlight Scanning Refresh Rate): 480
The 240 Hz rate is actually fairly important if it is a 3D TV as this allows a Black Interval frame to be inserted between other frames to reduce ghosting while still allowing 60Hz per eye through the active shutter glasses.

Hello all!
Well I've officially joined the 80LE844u OWNER'S CLUB! I am extremely excited, beyond belief. I don't get my TV until later this next week, but I am so happy! I got Best Buy to price match at $4K EVEN! And I got to use my financing etc. What really drew me to this TV was just standing in front of the 847U at Best Buy and being in AWE that a 80" set could produce a picture that good. I mean it was even so much better than the other Sharp 80 (the LE6 series I think), that it was night and day to me, and gave me all of the push I needed. Anyway I'm totally excited and I'll post pictures up of my room with the new beast when I get it all set up.

Sorry - not true.
You can play a 24 fps movie on a 120Hz true native refresh rate and have your settings repeat each frame 5 times (instead of interpolating fill-in frames). It is STILL a true 120Hz refresh rate either way. Sorry to burst your bubble but facts are facts. New info frames has nothing to do with it. You could, in fact, be displaying a still JPG picture at 240 Hz and it would be by all definitions be a true 240 Hz refresh rate (probably more accurately called a frame rate)

Jeez what is with your constant agenda and diatribes on your sorry little refresh rate issue? I mean I've been reading this thread and it's dominated by this BS. I realized in life there are always people that have no purpose that try to bring meaning into their lives by obsessing on some single issue to levels of insanity. That's you. Whereas I just look at this TV and I'm like WOW nice picture! Try that, your life might be less angst ridden.

Congrats on the new TV with a good price.

What did you have to show BB to match at $4K even?

Anybody know of a solution or is this a hardware defect? The ir emitter on the tv is not lighting up while in 3d mode.

What's your source for 3D? I just connected a replacement 844U to my system and the Direct TV box said" no 3D TV connected". I rebooted the satellite box with the TV connected and it works fine now for 3D.

Argh! I just had the dreaded reboot for the first time in a several weeks. I wonder if the latest update brought it back. I guess if it's once every two weeks it's not so bad but I was sure it was gone.

I don't know Fastslappy. I wouldn't be so sure. When Chad B calibrated my set, he made mention that his equipment was measuring 240 while the set was set up for 120 high. I wish I would have asked him more about that statement now
Any calibrators out there want to weigh in on this?

I do get a 3D picture output on the display with no problem.

I can't experience 3D or get the glasses to sync with the TV because because apparently the lights that broadcast to the glasses (the ir emitter) doesn't turn on 3D mode.

The sharp symbol does turn from white to blue for 3d mode.

So the problem is that when I switch to 3D and I've tried with multiple sources and with multiple hdmi cables and the ir lights on the front of tv just don't light up. Also when I try the 3D test just stand alone still no red lights on front of tv.

Sorry you feel that way, but to LOT of us this is quite a big deal. Verifying that the 844 has a true 240 Hz panel can help to ensure that regular and especially, 3D viewing has minimum ghosting. The backlight strobing variety of hyping up refresh rates, is, as most of know, a gimmick that has no real validity in increasing motion clarity. This forum tends to be for enthusiastic hobbyists who enjoy the technical side of digital viewing. Sorry you're not one of them.

The 80" shows a refresh rate of 240 Hz. The 90" shows a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

Are you saying that they both have the same refresh rate of 75 Hz? Or is the thought that there is no distinguishable difference since source material is only 60 Hz anyway.

The implicaiton from the SHARP site is that the 80" has better specs other than size?

I have had a question on whether my picture settings for motion enhancement are causing an audio sync issue, and hoping some of the experts on here regarding refresh rates, etc. can help.

I had my 844U calibrated by Chad B. He set motion enhancement for off, which is consistent with the referenced article - "Even if you get a set that supports 120Hz or 240Hz (or even 480Hz or 600Hz) video modes, you might want to disable them, and watch the video without any interpolation or judder-reducing effects." I had the triple-ball effect for baseball games when the setting was at 120 High or higher. The triple-ball effect disappeared with motion enhancement set to off. I have all of the video settings on the AVR disabled.

When watching older movies on BD, I have audio sync issues when the BD player is set to 1080P 24 HZ output. This happens on my PS3 and standalone BD. When I turn the BD player to just 1080P, the sync issues are gone. I have experienced this on the Nightmare on Elm Street BDs and John Carpenter's The Thing. I watched Hangover II last night with the BD player set to 1080P 24 HZ and it did not have the sync issue. It seems to only appear on older movies when the BD player is set to 1080P 24 HZ. I have to force the player to output the video at 60 fps to avoid the audio sync problems on older movies. Switching between 1080P 24 HZ and 1080P outputs are confirmed by the 844U, which switches between 1080P 24 HZ and 1080P signals when you hit the "info" button.

Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Here is my equipment:
