Sharp LC60LE835U REVIEW

Sharp LC60LE835U very satisfied.
Incredible buy and excellent deal. I ordered it from Amazon, the delivery company not only delivered it on time, but they also assembled it and saved me a lot of time and effort. The price along with free VIP delivery and no tax is an excellent deal from Amazon.

The TV is excellent.I got the Disney "wow" disc to calibrate the colors. The colors are just out of this world and bright. The blacks are excellent as well. The other features work very well too. (internet connection, apps, usb, pictures, music, file sharing). I think it is an excellent deal for the price and I am very satisfied.


Sharp LC60LE835U Great picture quality at a great price per inch.
I've had this unit a week now and I'm very impressed with it. The picture quality is amazing.
I use it with an Oppo 93 3D Bluray player going through an Onkyo 970. Everything is HDMI 1.4
compliant and it all works very nicely together. The Sharp sees the Onkyo, but not the Oppo
so far. Not really an issue. Likewise the limited web apps are not somethig that bother me.

3D playback was out of this world watching Avatar. I had seen 3D demos in stores and thought it was
a bit contrived and not really immersive. I'd see some cartoon character pop out of the screen, or a
big drop of water go by rafting the grand canyon.. but Avatar was full on, very real.. as far as it
is "real" of course.

Be prepared to mess about for a while dialing in the picture. Skin looked overly red out of the box.
I also had to tone down yellow and magenta setting and reduce color saturation a few clicks in order
to make things right (for me).

It's been pointed out to me from my review of a previous Samsung 3D TV that the yellow pixel is a gimmick, and yes, it is,
as the industry spec color to be divided into Red Green Blue..but I think Sharp actually did something clever. Since the number
of pixels is limited to 1920 by 1080, the bigger a screen gets the bigger the pixels, or the wider the gap between them.. so by
adding the 4th yellow pixel Sharp are filling the "holes" and adding resolution, as it were. It might boost total output too..
which is why I needed to dial it all down out of the box. Food for thought.

Pros: 60" 3D LCD for 2300$, wow! Great picture. Huge number of adjustments. Usable on board speakers for once.
Awesome 3D with Avatar. Slim , great for wall mount (when I get around to it) Nice "hidden" buttons on the bottom right allow use even when remote is lost. Power saving modes.

(slight) Cons: ugly base, remote is a bit direction sensitive, only a couple of apps (which I don't use)
huge number of adjustments :) There is a slight amount of light leak in the corners, but it's dark rather than bright and I notice it only on fully "on" shots, such as a white title page. I've seen much worse than this so it's a negligible con.

Sharp LC60LE835U Very Happy.
Amazing is the only word to describe this TV. The bezel is small and the stand is rock solid, it looks great even when off. When you turn it on your jaw drops at the bright, colorful, razor sharp picture. This TV has just about every feature you can imagine. How cool is it to effortlessly switch from TV to Netflix to stored files. I have not tried the 3D yet so hopefully that will not disappoint.

Sharp Aquos LC60LE835U Beautiful Television Set!!!
Purchased this TV yesterday from H.H. Gregg. Not very knowledgeable sales staff but talked them down to a great price. Took it home attached the stand and plugged it in with no trouble. I don't agree with the main review about the stand being wobbly. We purchased a Samsung 59" Plasma the night before that we ended up returning and its stand was definitely wobbly. The Sharps stand in comparison is solid as a rock. Review is spot on about the menu. Easy to navigate but clunky. The apps menu is great and the favorites button works well. I do wish they had included an internet browser as one of the apps or some additional apps like YouTube, Blockbuster and Hulu but I have a PS3 connected that can provide those features. Who knows Sharp might include that functionality in future upgrades. The Wi-Fi connectivity is AWESOME. Very easy to setup and very fast even with my old B router. The only complaint I have with the set is when watching normal TV that is not HD. When your doing this your going to see a fair amount of cotton balls in the black areas of the picture. Solution don't watch regular TV! Honestly though, I have owned a lot of TVs in my 49 years and this one is hands down the best TV I have ever owned. Have watched Avatar, Star Trek, Ironman & Transformers all in Blu-Ray as well as Alice in Wonderland on Netflix and the picture is STUNNING. My wife and I sat on the couch with our mouths hanging open. For the size, picture quality and price point it is THE TV to own. My wife said and I quote "Why doesn't everyone own a 60" Aquos. As Mr. Sulu Says "OH MY!!"




Sharp Aquos LC60LE835U Great Tv.
I purchased this TV from Paul's TV through Amazon earlier this month.

This is a beautiful TV. It is also incredibly thin, which is great for the wall mounted installation.
I purchased a pair of Sharp 3D glasses on ebay.
I have the TV hooked up to a HTPC with a GT430 video card . I watched "Resident evil afterlife" 3D Blu-ray. It was breathtaking.
I did not test the OTA HDTV tuner as I don't have an antenna hookup in the room where the TV is at the moment.
I have not tried the DLNA feature either.

Pros :
The picture is very bright and just amazing. Much better than other manufacturers like Sony and Vizio.
This is a really nice size for a large room
When watching 1080p/60Hz sources, the picture is incredibly smooth. The 240 Hz refresh rate is absolutely amazing. I may have to watch this TV more even though the screen is only 1/4" of the size of my projection screen.
The wifi really works well. I have it working with wireless N on the 5 GHz band connected to a Cisco E3000 router about 50ft away. I can stream movies/previews from Vudu at the maximum quality, over 9 Mbit/s sustained. This may seem little compared to the 300 Mbit/s theoretical of wireless N, but it is actually impressive that there are no dropouts.
The price was excellent. It was the same as the 832 model at Costco which is not 3D. I see that it has now gone up by over $500 since I purchased it.
It has a lot of inputs - 4 HDMI, 1 component, 1 VGA

Cons :
3D picture is dimmer than 2D. And you can't watch the picture lying down with the 3D glasses, the polarization dims the picture too much.
The built-in sound is weak. But that's expected on all TVs. You just have to pair the TV with a separate audio system.
I couldn't get the HDMI Audio Return Channel feature to work with the Onkyo HT-S5300 HTIB. It could be due to the receiver and not the TV, though the TV manual says this feature only works with other Sharp Aquoslink equipment.

Sharp LC60LE835U Best Price, AMAZING!!!
Just bought this exact model at Brandsmart USA in South Florida. Watched 3 Blu ray movies over the weekend. Unbelievable clarity. Black levels are great. Wi-Fi works super fast. Netflix loads and plays flawlessly. So far no complaints at all. Will update soon. Newest model of 3-D shutter glasses are not yet available, so have not tried the quality yet. Very highly recommended.

Sharp LC60LE835U Best Price
I rarely review products on Amazon, but I felt I must for this TV because it is so incredible. I got it two weeks ago and it has completely altered my TV viewing experience. It is so clear, it's like looking at real life. And watching blu rays are a sight to behold. But the real treat is the 3D viewing experience. In the past two days I've watched Tron 3D and Tangled 3D. Tron was an ok movie with beautiful visuals and Tangled was utterly beautiful and great movie, as well. My wife, who could have cared LESS about 3D, was transfixed and considered the viewing experience "magical".

Setting this TV up was so easy, I was surprised it was set up and ready to go in less than 5 minutes. What a pleasure. My only complaint is that they don't have a bigger Quattron version available yet, but this 60 inch set will do. It was cheap, it's gorgeous, and it is very stylish, too.

If you're in the market for an LED TV and you're not sure which one to get, get this one and you will be happy.

Sharp LC60LE835U Best Buy, Great ALL AROUND TV.
I bought this tv over 3 weeks ago so I have had time to pick it apart. 1st of all, the tv has a really good picture, brightness, color depth and blacks. As I stood in HH Greg, I looked at all the LEDs that were close to this one(Samsung, LG, Sony). They were all 55" and this was a 60" and the Sharp had better brighter and more color depth than those tvs. I have played my PS3 on this tv and the picture was amazing even 3d gameplay like Socom Navy Seals, MLB 2011...WOW!!AWESOME. Blu rays and 3d movies were really nice to watch too. On 3d, you may expirience a little ghosting at times or cross talk, but this is minamle. Its so infrequent that its not a big deal as I heard other tvs are worse and pretty much all tvs need to work on this issue.
I do expirience on fully white or or light colored pictures that there appears really small black spots in all 4 corners of the tv....I feel this is caused by the led edge lighting of the tv.....like I said a small issue and very hard to see....I am really picky though.
I have a 40" Samsung LCD and a Samsung 42 " plasma and I feel those are all great tvs too, but this Sharp Quattron 3d tv is by far better!! The remote is nice but could have had better button placement and could have come with lighted buttons. Overall though nice remote.
I have not used the apps and pretty much are worthless unless you have internet. The frame is stylish and nice. If wall mounted....the tv's hdmi ports are still easily accessed on the left side....most tv's plug straight into the back, while these plug in kinda sideways which makes it easier to plug in.
I installed and hung this tv by myself( I am a bigger guy) so keep in mind I recomend 2 people for an easier install.
Overall the tv is great, but I feel the tv needs to be calibrated better towards THX certification.....Understand this is not a THX certified tv, but would be better if it was....All tv companies need to better calibrate these tv's if they even do that at all.

Pros- I use the user setting for the most accurate colors and brightness and black levels. Tv has one of best picutres I have seen.
Vivid blues, greens and yellows(all colors really)
Many options for apps
Great price $1925.00 plus tax HH Gregg
Great clear 3d picture
I Still think yellow pixels make a difference( as to some people don't)
Power saver, when you forget to turn off tv, will power itself down when no signal is detected...nice feature!
Automatic brightness control to adjust with amount of light that comes through winows or lamps.
Sensor on tv....no need for a seperate sensor.

Cons- Glasses not included.
Remote's buttons are somewhat small and need to be back lit
Some ghosting or cross talk on 3d....but not really noticable.
Menu sometimes annoying but overall easy to use.

I purchased this tv at HH Gregg for $1925.00 plus tax. Glasses not included I spent $80 a piece a HH Gregg. Amazon had them a bit cheaper at $73.00 plus ship.

I really tried to give as many cons but there are not much......You should enjoy this tv and I would recomend this over others....not just because of the cost but the cost for the picture quality you receive.

OVERALL- Great tv for the buck.......as time goes on I will update on any possible problems I may encounter.....Thanks! Hope this Helps!   

Sharp LC60LE835U Best Buy, Incredible TV.
I purchased this TV after months and months of looking at different models to replace a 27-in Sony tube-TV I have had since 1999. I had trusted Sony and did not really want to switch models until I came across this Sharp HDTV. The TV arrived in perfect condition although took a little longer that I thought. Amazon uses 'Home Direct' to ship and apparently in my town, they come once a week. The set up was pretty simple although I had to re-program my DirecTV remote, since it could not detect the new TV. The picture quality is astonishing even on non-HD channels, is so hard to tell the difference. The size and at the same time, the thinness of the TV blew my mind. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a 60-in TV for such a price. With decent credit, Amazon 2-yr no interest on their card was hard to pass. I did not have to have $2000 plus taken out of my savings at once. Although, it did take me a while to really convince myself to do it, since obviously no one likes debt. Without a doubt, this is a nice TV and thus far, no regrets on my purchase. For now though, I still have the box in my garage, just to be on the safe side..which in my mind, its very unlikely. By the way, a correction on Amazon's specs about this TV. The contrast ratio is 8,000,000:1 and not 800,000:1 as they state. Also, sharpusa.com states there is a firmware download to enhance 3D picture among other improvements on their website. I did download it, but my TV already had the update so check on that, depending on when you purchased the set. Good luck.
