Good to know.

Bought a 55inch Sharp Aquos LED about a year ago for the living room, extremely happy with it. Just bought a new tv for the man cave, Was between 60inch Sony, Samsung, and a new Aquos......went with the Aquos again, the new one has the protective glossy glass, much like a plasma....it's pretty sweet

my girlfriends dad just bought one. The cable company charges a lot for 3d channels. He bought espn 3d for the buckeye game and then planned on cancelling it the next day but he was so blown away that he kept espn 3d for the extra 10 bucks a month. (so basically one 3d channel cost 10 bucks). I watched his tv last weekend and the xgames werent very good but football is amazing and basketball is pretty good. I ave heard soccer is amazing. I have also read that they are predicting 3d tvs to be out of the market by 2020 because people will have wearing the glasses and their bad for your eyes.

Does anyone have any experience with this tv? I wasn't planning on going with a plasma in our living room because of the depth compared to LED but this one is only 1.4" thick.

Seems like the theme of the reviews are a problem with a buzzing sound. Specs look good though. Did Cnet have a review of it?

Looks to be a solid tv. I'm thinking of just ordering from Amazon right now since they have an awesome return policy.

They really do. I buy so much stuff off of there and never have any problems.

I just love that I can return the tv within 30 days for any reason with absolutely no cost to me. There is absolutely zero risk in ordering a tv because you can easily return it if you don't like it.

Are you going to take advantage of the 3D? Looks like you will have to buy the glasses separate with this set.

I'm thinking about it. I can get the Shrek 3d kit pretty cheap on ebay. I'm interested in 3d gaming with games like Gran Turismo 5 and Little Big Planet 2.
I still haven't decided. I (blue) waffle too much on big purchases like this.

If I would have found this a week and a half ago I could've got a free blu-ray player and 3d kit thrown in. Damn.
