"First of all we were die-hard Samsung owners until we got this home. The Sharp is way underrated... There is no better picture period for complete exact color - sharpness - contrast - and film/digital representation. This tv out of the box in our from room blew us away. My GF and I both wear glasses so the matte screen is perfect for a 10-20 ft viewing room. We have a 60" tv stand and it is 24 inches tall, we s..." Read Full Review »
