Sharp LC-60LE810UN

There are a surprisingly large number of quality HDTVs out there coming from plenty of recognizable manufacturers. Every nice TV has its recognition for balancing the price with the features so there are some budget TVs that receive top recommends as well as some of the more pricey models that are more than worth the cost. Still, you will run into some difficulty choosing the HDTV that will give you the best possible experience. So many factors can affect your decision and the amount of money that you are spending. For instance if you go for a 60-inch LED display, you know that you will get a model that is large, slim, energy-efficient, and shows off great and bright visuals. The Sharp LC-60LE810UN represents this category well because it has its own unique qualities that stand out from other 60-inch displays.

Features

The LC-60LE810UN is large and the stand makes this display look like a large computer monitor. While the LC-60LE810UN is nowhere near the flagship 60-inch model, it is still capable of integrating with large home theater systems. There are 4 HDMI ports available so you can connect a gaming console or two along with your favorite Blu-ray or DVD player. The remaining HDMI port can always be used for other HD devices such as digital camcorders. It also has 1 HD component and a single composite video for legacy equipment.

The dynamic contrast ratio of the LC-60LE810UN gets a very high-end 4,000,000:1 so 1080p visuals receive some good brightness and contrast treatment. You can also adjust the OPC or Optical Picture Control to automatically adjust these brightness settings so the picture is viewable during any time of the day. This is just one of the few enhancements that make this LED HDTV energy efficient and Energy Star certified.

Technologies

The Sharp LC-60LE810UN brings out better picture quality by utilizing the Quattron Quad Pixel Technology which uses an advanced coloring system making use of an additional yellow color which adds to the existing red, blue, and green colors. This adds more combinations resulting to an expansion of the color gamut so more colors are reproducible. Results are clearly noticeable when watching various types of landscapes or just about anything that is high on yellows.

It also uses a special display panel called the X-Gen LCD panel which is designed to be more energy efficient than those fluorescent-backlit displays. The picture quality is further optimized thanks to this panel since it uses fewer ribs so it seals the pixels a bit better resulting to darker images. The 4,000,000:1 contrast ratio is more than just a figure since Sharp’s Mega Contrast technology gets the credit.

When playing watching high-speed clips, the 120 Hz Fine Motion Advanced technology does a wonderful job in keeping the sharp edges smooth while critical scenes take place. You will notice less gaps and more image detail overall thanks to the unique algorithms performed under the hood.

Extra Features

The Sharp LC-60LE810UN is ready to use your Internet connection by using the AQUOS Net service. It uses an Ethernet cable as its medium so you must plug directly into your router or any device that has a shared Internet connection. From there, you can access a multitude of services like Netflix which is one of the most popular streaming services with millions of subscribers. Using your subscription is much easier since you no longer need a separate computer to search for your favorite movie and copy it to the display. You can also use the connection to gain access to other sites that tell the news, weather, and sports events. When connected offline, you can still use the built-in USB port to play back image and music content effectively turning the display into a large beautiful picture frame.

The AQUOS Advantage Live ensures that you have the best experience from the get go. It helps set up your display, checks your connections, and even helps you get on the Internet. All it takes is a free registration so you can get these benefits along with premium support options including a generous warranty extension.

Bottom Line

This display is priced competitively against other high-end displays weighing around $2,500. This isn’t too bad since the display has been around for a while so you may be able to get a good discount from some retailers. The Sharp LC-60LE810UN is a great combination of real image enhancing features and some nice Internet connectivity. This is a good display to get if you won’t think about using the 3D technologies.

• “I have had the Sharp 60 led model for about a month and my opinion is ‘Wow”.I decided to replace a 50″ Panasonic plasma which had a great picture but I wanted something larger and really liked the led models. My initial selection was between Samsung and Sony but when I saw the Sharp picture, I just knew it was the right one. I used to consider Sharp a second tier TV but no longer…..beats the Panasonic plasma. The picture is famtastic and the audio is not bad but I use a separate sound system. I do think that the addition of yellow to the typical RGB pixels does add to the picture. Am very pleased with no complaints so far. Great TV for the price.” – J. Keheley (Atlanta, GA)

• “I’ve had this T.V. for about 5 weeks now and have no complaints.I have been waiting to upgrade my older T.V. for a year now. I’ve looked at the Sony, JVC, and Panasonic. This T.V. blew them all away. I have it hooked up to a Sharp Blue ray player and the picture is simply stunning. Initial set up was a breeze, I would recommend setting the T.V.’s video mode to dynamic or dynamic (fixed) to really make all the colors pop! I highly recommend watching Avatar on BR for your first movie; the colors are literally out of this world. I would recommend this T.V. to anyone looking for and great T.V. at an amazing price. For comparison the base model Bravia 60 inch LED is around 800 dollars more. This is a must buy for anyone looking to enjoy movies the way they were meant to be watched. The sound for this T.V. is decent with a built in woofer and the simulated surround feature. Overall a great T.V. it was worth the wait and every penny spent!!! BTW, if you are thinking about a 3D T.V. remember that everyone has to were those 20 dollar bulky glasses and who wants that, they are coming out with 3D T.V. that don’t need glasses, I would wait for one of those. ” – Yokota (USA)

• “After researching on the techinical spec, I choose this product based on the factors below 1. engineering design (4 colors) 2. advance technology (LCD backlite) 3. reviews from Amazon.com 4. price to performance ratio.

The product was delived by a very courteous carrier and help moved into my family room. It worked for 15 seconds then the video has gone blank and locked in a diagonostic mode.
From the very fine prints of the manual, I found the service number to call for help. The represensentative on the line responded very fast and was very courteous and helpful. The on-site service technician came within a week and fixed the faulty board. I gave the factory quality 3-star for poor quality control. I gave the field service 5-star fro fast and courteous on-site service. The on-site service warranty is 15-months. Very good.

The picture quality is good and 7 inputs connections. But the audio output only has 2 options. 1. Simply stereo output with 1/8″ pin, very flimsy and not practical. 2. Optical output that may not work with old amplifier. I am using blueray player to provide the sounds input.

The screen is very thin (less than 2″) and looks very efficient. Built-in speakers are decent but nothing to brag about.

I use antenna to receive broadcast signal, the channels recognized are less than a 28″ Sumsang TV that I have. A slight disappointment.

The picture quality is very good compared to other HDTV.

Overall, I rated this TV a 4-star.” – ENG Consultant (USA)
