Customer Reviews
See what you've been missingMichael Blacher
Have had the TV for a week now. I have viewed satellite HD feed, . Blu-ray 1020p discs ,and youtube 4k video clips. The built-in line-doubler works amazingly well, visibly better that the 4K doubler that my home theater system provides ( anthem mrx710) Color depth and saturation is amazing as well. My only nit-pick is that I would have liked local full-array dimming as compared to the edge lit system. This TV comes with a matte screen, which I prefer, since most of the time I view in a lighted room and am not bothered by reflections. At $5000 the set was well priced
Read before you buyMixster
Couple of things to consider before you buy. I will list them as Pros and Cons.Pros:1. Great picture quality. 4K is 4K if you can find content. There are a few 4K streams on youtube that you can search for but it is compressed. However the PQ looks great.2. Sound is much much better than most of the other sets.3. Web browser is a big plus. Works with almost any site that I use. No silverlight support though. Bluetooth keyboard support makes it easier to type.4. Up conversion from 720-1080P to 4K is great. One of the best I have seen on similar TV sets.5. 2D to 3D conversion strangely works but Active shutter glasses give me a headache. Do not think I will ever use them6. The TV looks great mounted on the wall. The bezel is thin and CEO of the house approves it.7. Netflix, Youtube and other apps work fineCons:1. This set is heavy. Forget hauling it on your own or mounting on the wall. You need help.2. The subwoofer "bulge" in the back make it impossible to have a flush/slim mount. I had to use two spacers each to mount. Expect at least 2.5-3" clearance between the set and the wall.3. There used to be a Skype App on the 2013 sets. This application is no loner available on the 2014 Sharp sets. I did not know that as Skype support is mentioned in the user manual. This is a bummer.4. There is no AMAZON app and they have no plans of introducing an amazon app either. Do not know if that was the case for the sets manufactured in 20135. The set does not currently play 4K Netflix streams. That may change later.6. Consumes around 250-300 watts when switched on, 80 watts or so when in wallpaper mode.Read more ›
New 4K Sharp TVWags
This is going to be difficult to review and most likely long. I'm not sure many of these are out yet and I've only had it about a week. Let me preface this by saying this is a replacement tv for a Pioneer Elite 70" I had the Elite for just over a year when it developed a blue vertical line on the screen. The problem was Sharp had bought the Elite technology from Pioneer after they decided to get out of the TV business. This meant I had to go through Sharp for a fix. Since the Elite had a two year warantee I figured I was good. My dealer contacted Sharp with pictures I took and after several calls it was decided they would give a credit toward a new set or a refurbished Elite. Sharp said they had no new parts to make new TV's so the choice was easy. Although I loved the Elite (my second Elite I've owned and I loved both) I wasn't going to take someones problem TV.I'm not sure if I can mention my home theater dealers name but I must say they went way out of there way to make me happy. They set up three sets for me to look at for a replacement. I looked at a Sony 4K in 65" (no 70" in the lineup), a Sony LED 65" (an earlier model), and the Sharp 70" 4K. All of the sets looked great. Since I was used to the Elite the Sony's seemed to have a similar picture quality. I believe this to be the glass used is similar in that it is shinier than the Sharp which is more of a matte finish. After much waffling I chose the Sharp due to it being the same size as my Elite and it was also a 4K set The dealer gave me the option of using it in my home for a few weeks to see if I still loved it.While there is not native 4K content out there right now I'll reserve comment until I see it on this TV.Read more ›
Good but obsolete out of the boxGyro gearloos
I've had mine a couple weeks now so here is what I've learned.USB 1.4:This is fine for 3D at 1080p and 4k at 24 frames. It will not be compatible with USB 2.0 as there is hardware needed. You can't do a software upgrade to faster transceiver chips in the card for HDMI. That means no 4k at 30p or 60p, only 24.The upscaler is excellent but if you get next years best chipset in your new blurY Ayer or home theater and want to upscale there, you have no way to turn off the built in.Picture in THX Mode is fantastic and calibrated right out if the box.Sound is great considering how thin this thing is. It doesn't rival my Denon by any means but it's pretty good for anTV.No 4K on USB, only 1080P so with only the proprietary Sony Media server out for HDMI, your only way to see 4K currently s YouTube, which is compressed.It has all the usual apps like Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, etc...3D performs very well. The 2D to 3D converter even works pretty good. No headaches here by that's probably just me.His thing is heavy: Shipping weight says 124 Lbs. Took 2 to bring it in and put it up installed.Overall I'm very happy and love the TV but if I had to do over, I'd wait and spend a bit more when USB 2 is out solid. I had to replace a broken 55" and couldn't wait.My 2c
