Sharp LC-60LE847U 60-Inch LED-lit 1080p 240Hz 3D Internet TV (Old Version)

So far it seems to be a great TV. I haven't had an opportunity to sync it up to my router so I haven't tried the smart functions. I also have not tried the 3D function so I've only experienced the very basic functions so far. I honestly do not have a huge desire for 3D but have also not had experience with it. It's very thin throughout the body of the screen and has a relatively small bezel. The picture is good but I did have to adjust the color settings per a google search of Sharp forums. I'm very pleased so far and looking forward to utilizing the full potential of the TV.

I was pleased with this unit and excited with the 3D...bought four sets of glasses and was patting myself on the back for a great choice. This week my daughter was having a sleepover and when I turned the unit on for a movie there is a large striped area with no image in the center of the screen. Now I have to go through whole hassle of warranty repair/return and my daughters' friends ended up watching Netflix on an iPad. I didn't buy low end and I expected more.

I had a Sharp Aquos LCD prior which was 6+ years old when I replaced it with this unit. One of the big concerns I had was with heat as the Samsung's seem to run very hot and require quite a bit of space around the unit for ventulation.. which is even in the Samsung manual... with a 60" screen there isn't much room above and below the unit above the mantle... but the unit runs quite cool and there is no mention regarding required cooling / spacing around the unit. The picture quality is quite amazing and the 3D is rather quite wicked... I perfer active shutter over passive (movie theater style).. as active shutter seems to give you a much clearer picture especially on the edges of the glasses.. where at the movie theater its gittery and blurry... plus active shutter seems to be less headache prone. I wall mounted this TV after having it on the stand for a few days. My only real complaint is the analog jacks.. which are located litterally on the back, so if the TV is wall mounted there isn't enough gap between the TV and the wall to plug in a analog cable... my wall mount bracket tilts which brings the TV away from the wall a little more than most brackets.. and I barely can get my component cable plugged in. Other TV's I have seen have a AV jack that looks like a headphone jack and a special cable that has the analog ends on it.. so in the event you need analog you plug in that cable... which would plug in next to the HDMI jacks that plug in parallel to the unit.. not sticking straight out from the back. I have and continue to recommend this unit to friend and family... its a great tv at a great price.

I wanted a TV that would be able to hold up in a room w/ bright lights. I'm aware that plasmas are better for that application but I was impressed w/ the $15/yr operating costs of a 60" set. There is some fading & lack of clarity when it's really bright but the picture is excellent in a dark room. I should say AFTER tweaking the settings. There's a noticeable color distortion on angles but in my configuration it isn't a problem. Front viewing is spot on. I have had the set restart on its own twice in the past month which I have read in forums. Sound is impressive for a flat screen.

I searched for a while on the net for a hdtv to replace my 61 inch RCA rear projection tv. I read nothing but great review on the sharp 60 8470u, i seen it on Amazon brand new at a lower price than Sam's, so i went for it. Out of the box the the set was huge and thin and was loaded with features and two pair of 3d glasses. But it lacked where it matters the most with me, picture quality. I have a 46 inch 2010 Samsung in my bedroom, (also got from Amazon at a great price) that blows this set out of the water. This is not a bad set, just not that great either. The sound is good, plenty of apps, just not that good of picture, now matter how hard i tried to calibrate the settings i could not get the colors right. Everything had a bluish tint to it and also the voices would not match the people speaking on the screen. Decided toreturn it, which was hassle free, and order a 55 inch sony...

Nice pic. but I agree with prior comments as to frame being very flimsy. I've had to contact Sharp twice now about my TV which was purchased in early September 2012. 1st contact was because the sets audio keeps getting out of sync with video. Only correction seems to be to unplug the TV every few days which seems to "reset" the audio. My current contact with Sharp (They have not yet responded) involves the TV powering off and then quickly turning itself back on. I'll update my review after they reply. I love having a 60" TV but I am now worried that it may have a serious problem with the power cycling listed above. I would recommend to my friends to hold off on purchasing one of these at least until my current problems have been resolved.

I bought this TV on March 25th, 2013. Within the 1st 1 1/2 years the 3D no longer would work. I thought it was the glasses so bought more and that wasn't it. About the same time the 3D quit working, it began developing a black spot in the mid right side which has gradually gotten worse. I'm sure I could have it repaired but I shouldn't have to for an expensive TV I have owned for just over 3 years!

It's a BIG TV but man... once it's installed (special wall mount) it's an amazing TV to watch movies on! I haven't tested the 3D feature yet - glasses are at least $50 a pop and none come with the TV :( Lot's of many different modes and if you wanna go crazy, you can use the manual settings to custom create a profile. A bit overwhelming actually... The only reason why I don't give 5 stars is because I used to have a plasma TV before this LED-LCD TV and I still like the quality of plasma better. Totally personal taste but I wish it was the same picture quality.
