I was waiting for this 2012 model TV since I saw it at CES expo, because this 80 inch is the largest 240hz 3d TV so far. I didn't expected this TV to release in March, 2012.

Anyways I bought it from Amazon via Paul's TV for $4472+tax (Los angeles tax=8.75%). Cost me total of $4863.57 with free "white glove" fast delivery. Ordered on Saturday March 31st, and got it delivered on Monday April 2nd, barely just like next day delivery.

Considering myself a smart shopper, I actually did some research for the price check. All other places were $1000 or more even at my favorite Frys electronics store, but I still went to Frys electronics to see this TV in action, but Frys personnel said it hasn't been put on display yet, as it's been barely 3 days since they recieved this model.

I ordered this big TV as I was replacing my Mitsubishi 73 inch DLP.
The Sharp as it arrived I got it installed it on the Wall and tossed the Mitsubishi out.
The Sharp has amazing picture. The 3D is so much better and watching the effects are great.
I have owned all the top TV Sets and this is by far the best. My TV viewing experience has changed for better.
If you can afford it then go for it and all your family friends and neighbours will be impressed by the rich colors the size of the screen and the picture quality.
I would recomend buying extra 3d glasses as you will like to experience it all.

I love almost everything about this tv. The picture is beautiful. Everything worked great out of the box. 3D is just as good as movie theaters. I highly recommend it.

My only complaint is that built in internet is just OK. It works well with several built in sites such as Netflix. However, I hoped I could use it like a built-in omputer. Maybe I expected too much. Browsing is difficult without a wireless keyboard/mouse input. Browsing is possible but a lot of content can't be displayed. The good news is that I attached a computer to the HDMI input and it works great. I'm using it now as my monitor. Everything is displayed beautifully.
