I have had this set, Sharp Aquos LC-70LE745U 70-inch 3D, for 1 week now, and am very pleased with it. I had read many reviews on the AVS and other forums about the pros/cons of lcd sets so I was prepared for the possible "worst" before getting this set. Things like "dirty screen effect" "banding" "flashlighting" "clouding" and motion blurring are all known problems with edge lit lcd technology. This tv replaced a 4 year old 52" Sony Bravia which had noticeable clouding. I am happy to say that my eyes do not detect any noticeable problems of this nature with this Sharp 70" set. The picture is great! The black areas are much more black and distinct than my old Sony and they rival a 40" plasma set I have in the bedroom.
The sound is so,so but that is normal for this type tv. I hook mine to a Zvox sound bar with a Sony subwoofer.
I did not buy this tv for it's 3d capability but have used it and it is ok. As I've seen in many reports, so called 3d cross-talk causes blurring... Read more

Incredible picture, apps work great, built-in wireless hooked up fast and easy. Netflix button makes streaming shows fast and easy. Weighs like 25% less then my previous 65" sharp (LED's are lighter!) Audio out (for my wireless headphones) fails with HDMI in, which is weird cause it worked fine on my previous sharp... will have to play with the settings some more.

Be careful ordering 3D glasses for this TV. Not all glasses work. I called sharp and they only said to "buy the Sharp glasses"

EDIT - THESE ARE THE ONLY GLASSES WE GOT TO WORK WITH THE TV

Yea, I think I'll try a few more glasses before I do that. Specifically I'm going to try these:
EDIT - DO NOT BUY THESE GLASSES, THEY DO NOT WORK WITH THE TV. 2012 MODELS REQUIRE NEWER GLASSES.

I bought this TV about a month ago, it's an awesome TV. Set up wasn't too hard, except for the initial WIFI connection, after that it's a snap. The picture is so clear on HD channels that it almost looks 3D without the glasses, and watching a dvd is the same, awesome!.I bought mine from a major appliance/electronics retailer, it was NOT "BEST BUY", and paid about $300 less than what is listed here,and 2 pairs of Sharp 3D glasses were included, and I got 2 years interest free financing. Why tie up my money when I can tie up someone elses,lol. I own four Sharp TVs and have never been disappointed with any of them. This is a great buy for the money, if you shop around you can find great deals on these.
