Absolutely loving it.
I dont write posts, but just wanted to let everyone know, thats its a fantastic tv.
PQ is great, Black levels are really good.
I would not know, why would anyone spend more money on a fullarray, with the kind of black level on 847U.
I did a lot of research before deciding on this tv.
Been looking since the past 6 months, reading reviews, visiting stores etc.
Screen uniformity is good, black levels are good, lots of ports & good sound too.
If you are an average user like me, then u would definitely love this set.

That sure will light a fire under their butt because I have their broken TV and they dont have the money. Within one hour of getting the box, I was ready to unpack the TV and saw the damaged. The merchant told me that I dropped it on its top. HUH? Like I can lift 80lbs flip it upside down and drop it on the top. NO WAY!!! That is total BS. They had the rear wrap on and I didnt remove it. I know that this was my fault, however, it was only an hour, so I have a case becuase I didnt wait long. Also, I asked the driver three times, the box is dent is that ok, He said all boxes get dented you cant help that and that is shipping, however, the inside foam protects the item. Well, I was dumb not to touch the foam. They were rushing me, they pulled the TV in, and left in one min flat. I could not even take the tv out of the box, so basically, I never got to inspect the entire TV. The merchant told me that they were suppose to remove it from the box, which they didnt. I could not see the bottom. I think this is a shipping issue and they need to replace this.

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS PART: I called amex up and while on the phone speaker, the merchant called me and I put him on speaker, boy was he rude, basically told me to take a flying leap and other things. that I will have eat the TV. The Amex rep typed everything in the case for 45 mins that we were on the phone. He could not beleive that he was talking to me like this. He even told me that he will send a sharp rep out to fix the TV. You cant fix this issue, plus it is compromised. He also said that he will send me the $2,00 cap, so I can put back on. The frame is bent dumb merchant, how can you fix that? He hung up on me. I am so happy that AMEX heard this. I think that I will win this case. What do you think?

That said, you can get a lot of information from the spectracal website. They have a pretty good knowledgebase section. The Poynton's Vector series is particularly good.

I can get the B&M stores to match the price and usually throw something in to equal what I have to pay in sales tax...far less of a hassle then having to deal with rude ass people over the phone and takes weeks to resolve. I have a BB and HH Gregg within 15 mins of my house, makes returns really easy. Good Luck

I was able negotiate a great price w/ hhgregg and 2pair of glasses. Took about an hour of my time but I got a better price then I could get it shipped from any online company(including tax). I know several people recommend Cleveland plasma and he has a great reputation on these boards. My choice to buy local was personal but they are probably the only one I would buy online from. I bet he may even be willing to negotiate a fair price if u asked. Worst he can say is no. A lot of the other online retailers/resellers usually have shady return policies and spotty customer service at best.

To be honest this type of thing should not be needed when buying a $3K tv. They always ship these things setup for demo mode in a showroom so they can one up the compitition...
I would gladly pay someone to set this up but who do you trust when there are so many to choose from? who is actually going to do the right job and how do you find them. I saw the Chad post's but he's not in my area (Long Island, NY) ever. Frustrating, very frustrating... Thanks for the link.

If you do please post it here as I like to be able to link that site when posters ask where & who can do a calibration , You have been so good to All the Sharp thread posters with your reviews I would like to "Pay It Forward" with referrals
