Calibration. You can read the review in the below link....

I got this TV a few weeks ago and have been generally pleased, but the input lag was kind of annoying so I decided to do some measurements. In "Movie" mode I got 240 ms. audio to picture delay, and in "Game" mode it only went down to about 120 ms. That seems really bad, but I've had trouble finding any other numbers on the web to compare my results to. Is this model just a dog when it comes to processing time?

Tests were done with the DVE HD Basics disc A/V sync test; Bluray player connected over HDMI to Onkyo PR-SC5509 processor w/ HDMI out to the TV (input 1). I put together a little device with an Arduino, phototransistor, and mic and compared the audio/video times (the test plays a tone and flashes part of the screen simultaneously). I got similar results when connecting an Xbox to the VGA input on the TV with optical output to the receiver, and running a "stopwatch" thing on a laptop (took pictures of laptop screen with TV in frame and compared.)

When testing Game mode I had all the processing options for the TV off (auto contrast, motion thing, noise reduction, film mode, etc.) and I don't think there's any other way to affect the performance, although I'd be happy to hear if I missed something. I'm seriously considering returning the TV, because it's weird trying to play video games with the delay. Movies are cool w/ the audio delay set correctly in the receiver, but I'd hate to have to get another monitor just to play games. On the other hand I'm not sure if other large screen LCD/LEDs are much better, again it's hard to find reliable information.

Can't you just run your Xbox through the receiver? Please forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question. I'm not a gamer.

In any case, you don't use audio queues for fine aiming control: you look at the screen so you really need to remove video lag between the source and the display.

The video processing delay in the unit when out of GAME mode is enough to make you over control. It is frustrating and ruins your accuracy.

In GAME mode, however, the processing delay is short enough that we can aim accurately and we remain very happy with the set..

It was a random buy as I wasn't really looking to buy a TV, but BB was blowing out inventory and had 50 percent reduction on top of all ready marked down prices and on many things including TV's. So, I asked them if they had any TV's 65 in. on up and they had the 80 in Sharp in the back and asked if I wanted to see it. I said, hell yes!!! Still in box, although opened as I expected but looked liked it was never installed and in perfect condition. It was marked down from 4,400.00 to 2,200.00 with discount plus they threw in 2 pair of 3d glasses and free delivery. I had done no research at all on the TV like I would normally do. I have read mixed reviews, but I see that many love their TV. I bought an extended warranty (4 years) at 370.00. So, I invite any and all opinions if this is a worthy TV especially at the purchase price I got it for. I have read in some past posts that Sharp is struggling. Should that be a concern?

It never was installed and in perfect condition. Apparently, many Best Buys had too much open box inventory in my area from the Christmas holidays and things were not moving liked they had hoped. It's tax time and they had to move this stuff out. Thus the managers being more flexible. Right time at right time as people caught onto things and were being picked up quick. I bought other stuff like a Panasonic BDT500 bluray player for 115.00 bucks etc. They told me even if I didn't like the TV that the return cost would be picked up so no cost gamble too me what so ever... I suppose it does make sense to keep it even if it does have issues with the warranty etc. I just hope it works out of the box properly. I'm not trying to brag here, just really feel like it was just luck of the draw and I will definitely update how it all goes...

So I am going to buy it in US.

Can any one please make photo of power connector on the back of TV? Will it support automatic voltage selection, because we have 220-240v mains.

Which size and weights has TV boxed?

Thnx to all,
Alex
