AQUOS 732 Series by Business-Man--Biz (Jul, 2011)I had a professional audio visual service assist me with the connections, and he commented independently that the picture quality was excellent, and also agreed that the price was fair for a screen of this size.

AQUOS 732 Series by Steven-R.-Saldutti (Dec, 2011)No Netzero lag at all like I would get at times with the wii I used prior.
black levels
AQUOS 732 Series by Shannon-Hall (Jan, 2012)Some movies looked ok, but most were completely washed out and where they weren't washed out, they were completely over saturated to the point of skin literally glowing.
AQUOS 732 Series by ReviewByMe (May, 2011)The pre-set ones are ok, but some of the levels seemed off to me....Bright colors were looking great but skin tones just seemed washed out - like everyone on my TV was a in need of some color or trip to the beach.

Picture quality
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 20% by by Nickyz40 (Feb, 2012)On blu ray, the picture was crystal clear but regular HD channels were terrible.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by G.-A.-P.--G.A.P. (Jul, 2011)I was really glad to find this Sharp TV which seems to have hit the sweet spot for me between size, features, quality and price.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 20% by by Nickyz40 (Feb, 2012)The picture is not clear and all and the colors are not even close to being right.
Sharpness
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Sugarmax (Jan, 2012)By far Sharp's quad pixel technology and led array backlighting delivers the finest picture I've seen.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Business-Man--Biz (Jul, 2011)I don't know if the addition of the color yellow helps to achieve a deeper black color or if Sharp achieves it with some other technical inovation.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 20% by by Nickyz40 (Feb, 2012)If I were you, Id go with the LG which is close in price as the picture is so much better than the Sharp.
Panel
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Business-Man--Biz (Jul, 2011)The BIG image is a vastly different viewing experience over smaller TV screens.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Business-Man--Biz (Jul, 2011)I was also amazed at how the addition of the 70" flat screen made my living room appear more contemporary.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by ReviewByMe (May, 2011)I'm not really into the whole 3D thing anyway...I have long eyelashes so wearing glasses for a long period of time drives me nuts.
Audio quality
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Business-Man--Biz (Jul, 2011)You will probably want to add some additional speakers to the TV to get the sound up to match the picture.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Randy-Smith--Randy-Smith (Oct, 2011)I love my old receiver and have 2 huge speakers.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by ReviewByMe (May, 2011)I bought a sound system to go with it because I always hear that the new, larger TV's don't have the best speakers but the sound on this TV is just as good as what was on my last television set.
Content
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by C.-Nelson (Jun, 2011)I like to be in control of my picture, so I created two custom user settings - one for movies and tv shows, and one for video games.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by Business-Man--Biz (Jul, 2011)The picture quality is excellent, and watching a Blu-ray movie on this thing gave me an understanding of the meaning of "Home Theater.
Sharp AQUOS 732 Series 70" | Rated 100% by by ReviewByMe (May, 2011)I haven't set up my Xbox to it yet and not sure if I will (its in the media room,) so cant comment on how it would do with games, but as I mainly bought it for TV/movies it suits its purpose perfectly.
