This is my first flatscreen, and it was a great price ($650). It's a fantastic hdtv with amazing image quality, and I'm totally thrilled about it. The super-saturated colors really pop and the clarity is crisp (you ought to have an HD cable/satellite connection and a blu-ray player to get the optimal effect, but I'm sure you knew that!). Not sure if the extra yellow pixel is all Sharp makes it out to be, but I don't think it's hurting!

I like that the LED technology means low energy usage, and I do think it improves the picture quality and brightness over standard LCD sets, as well as providing deep blacks, as well as shaving down the weight of the tv and its thinness. I'm a petite chick about 100 lbs. and had no trouble picking it up and moving it around- so light! Made it much easier when I installed it on a wall-mount. An unexpected bonus is the matte screen- no annoying mirror-like reflections like other sets with glossy screens.

Setting up the tv and connecting to the internet was quick and easy; learning all the Menu options and settings (for customizing your preferences) can take a while to read and understand. The remote buttons and on-screen controlling are very responsive, but I agree with another reviewer that the Menu button is too close to the navigation buttons; I often press it accidentally. The Menu options are extensive and give you a high degree of control and adjustability for picture, audio, and other settings. I highly recommend Smart tv's over 'dumb' ones. The Apps are fairly decent in selection. No opinion on streaming Netflix or movies as I don't use those features. I also specifically bought this set because it has built-in Wi-Fi; why would you want to buy a separate adapter? Also, I used the free shipping option and still got it within four days of the order (well, I live in California)! Sweet!
