I posted this last week in the "help me decide" thread but it seems as though there isn't much help there anymore. I need help deciding because I need to buy this week:


Help me decide between these two:


Samsung UN60F7100


Sharp LC-60TQ15U


Budget = $1500-$2000

Seating Distance = 12ft

Size limitations = no bigger than 60" due to wall its being placed on

Uses and Sources = Movies and TV, Blu Ray player, DirecTV

Room Lighting = Large wall with windows opposite TV


Please help as I need to "pull the trigger" this week


Sammy is on sale for $1799 right now.

Out of the two, I would go for the Sharp. Samsung is ok but they are both edge lit and will most likely have it's LCD problems. The Sharp is a 2014 model which has some nice improvements over last years. Having not seen one in person yet, I heard it has a very nice up scaler built in. Check the Sharp 2014 thread, I believe there are some owners with more detailed info. View them yourself and decide for yourself.

I would go with the Samsung because it is a VA panel. All around solid TV.


Sharp usually only uses IPS panels, which have half the picture quality of VA panels.
