Some things to know...
By MaxdB
This isn't a "review" per se... I review home theater equipment professionally, but there are some things worth knowing about TV technology in general to help you know if this TV (LC-60LE925UN) is something you would be interested in.Quattron - 4th pixel - yellow pixels - It is ABSOLUTELY true that other TVs don't have yellow pixels. All TVs have red, green, and blue pixels (including Ouattron TVs). The yellow pixels are completely unnecessary to create good yellows in TV images... many TVs make PERFECT yellows without having yellow pixels. Green + red in the correct amounts produces yellow. These TVs do not have better yellows than other TVs."More colors" - this is a real red herring. It may SOUND like a good idea, but it is a TERRIBLE idea. There is a color standard for HDTV. It is called Rec. 709 just in case you'd like to know. This standard defines what color should appear for the 3 primary colors, red, green, and blue. These defined points (on a color chart) define a triangle that includes ALL the colors that exist in original HDTV images (from a TV channel or from a Blu-ray disc). If your TV makes "more colors" those colors have to be OUTSIDE the color triangle that is defined by the specification for HDTV color. So, let's say you are watching a properly calibrated TV and they show something that is 100% Red. If the TV is accurate, you will see that color exactly as it was captured by the camera (the director and cinematographer decided on how that red should look). If the TV makes "more colors" the only way to do that is to make that reference color triangle larger. When you do that, 100% Red, 100% Green, and 100% blue are now at different locations. Those are the colors used to make every other color you see. If those colors start in the wrong location, EVERY COLOR YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN WILL BE INACCURATE. So any time you see an HDTV that claims to make "more colors" that's something you should understand to mean "makes the TV less accurate". If other TVs had trouble making the correct color of Yellow, the yellow pixels might be a good idea - but other TVs CAN make yellows that are every bit as accurate as Quattron yellows without the yellow pixels.240 Hz. - With current software (March 2011), 240Hz mode is available all the time (2D and 3D) - but you do have to SELECT 240Hz mode, 120 seems to be the default mode, just go to the Motion Enhancement setting and change it to 240Hz. Easy.3D Glasses - these make all the difference in the WORLD for how enjoyable 3D TV will be. The problem is... as of March 2011, it is very very difficult to find 3D glasses that work well enough to make great 3D images. 3D glasses work by blocking one eye, while letting an image through to the other eye. So while your right eye sees an image, your left eye is blocked by the electronic shutter in the left lens of the glasses. The problem is, these shutters in the 3D glasses don't block enough light. That means the left eye sees part of the image intended for the right eye. Since the 3D images are offset (you see this easily when the TV displays 3D and you are not wearing 3D glasses), some of the offset image leaks into the opposite eye causing ghost images on just about everything in the 3D images. The more light leaks, the stronger the 3D ghosting will be. The current Sharp 3D glasses shipping with this TV leak so much light that 100% of 3D images viewed on the TV have obvious ghosting... everything behind the plane of the screen and everything forward of the plane of the screen is ghosted. These aren't the worst 3D glasses I've seen so far, but they are bad enough to be pretty annoying (re. ghosting). You can't enjoy 3D programming because of the constant ghosting present on anything in the background and anything in the foreground. 3D glasses are improving rapidly as more and more people complain about ghosting problems - Sharp could begin shipping better glasses at almost any time. I have no experience (yet) with so-called "universal" 3D glasses sold by XpanD, Monster and possibly another brand - they might be better than any of the manufacturers' glasses, I just don't know yet. Other manufacturers have also shipped glasses with seriously bad ghosting issues (Sony Gen1 glasses and Toshiba [circa late 2010] come to mind). Panasonic glasses that come with their 3D plasmas are pretty good (not perfect though). Mitsubishi glasses have been the best seen so far. You may or may not be able to mix/match glasses brands - depends on the 3D scheme used by each manufacturer. Only the "universal" glasses are known to be usable with just about any TV.THis is a fairly good-looking TV in spite of the Quattron marketing hype. [EDITED to remove comment about this TV being back-lit rather than edge-lit... it turns out that the white lights visible at the back of the TV are due to holes in the circuit boards or structural elements of the TV allowing white light to escape from the back of the diffuser and be visible from behind the panel, so this is an edge-lit panel, but it has better lighting uniformity than any other edge-lit LCD I've seen so far - the lighting uniformity is so good, it appears to be as good as back-lit LCDs]. For those not familiar with the terms EDGE-LIT and back-lit. Back-lit LCDs have the light source behind the panel (and that makes the panel a thicker than most edge-lit models, but it is easier to get even illumination when the light source(s) are behind the panel. Edge-Lit panels have LEDs placed at the EDGE of the TV only and light is carried by a diffuser towards the center of the screen. Edge-Lit LCD TVs tend to be very thin... perhaps 1.5" thick or so. Edge-Lit LCD TVs (there is no such thing as an LED TV, even though some brands try to make you think you are buying an LED TV. "LED TV" is just an LCD TV with LEDs making the light that makes images visible instead of tiny fluorescent tubes that used to be the only light source availalbe for LCD displays. Edge-Lit LCD TVs usually have such uneven illumination that light and dark areas that are visible in every dark scene (where there shouldn't be any light areas) - it's very annoying. This TV's edge lighting is the best I know of for uniformity.[Edited to update newer settings that work better than the originals posted here]The best settings found for this TV are "User" mode with Color Temp. Low (every other mode is much too blue).For movie viewing in a fairly dark room, set Contrast to 32 and Backlight to -7. Turn OPC off. Brightness (actually sets black lavel) is correct at "0". Sharpness is correct at "0". COlor and Tint should also be "0". Set Motion Ehancement to AquoMotion 240. Quad Pixel Plus "ON". Gamma Adjustment -2. To view in a room with more light, increase Backlight control until the images are bright enough - lower Backlight control to -7 for darkened-room viewing of movies. Keeping the backlight setting low helps make blacks blacker.The other controls in the Advanced user menu are really not usable by the owner. Using them can improve the accuracy of video images, but you need special calibration software and an expensive color meter to measure the TV using test patterns. You can hire a professional calibrator to do this. Te cost of calibration runs about $300 and up for 2D calibration +$100 or so for 3D calibration - 2D mode and 3D mode are like having 2 completely different TVs so it is double the work for the calibrator. Fees may vary, especially in higher cost-of-living areas. If you want the TV properly calibrated using ALL the available controls AND 2D and 3D mode, the best sources are THX Certified Video Calibrators... see [...]['] The cinematographer and director have very specific images in mind when they make movies and they often participate in transferring their movies to disc. You will never see how those images are SUPPOSED TO look at home unless your TV is calibrated - TVs never come "out of the box" with good calibration. It takes about 5 to 7 hours to calibrate a TV like this for 2D and 3D grayscale, plus 2D and 3D color. You aren't likely to get that from a calibrator working for an electronics store. Without calibration, I found Yellow was WAY too bright, WAY too green, and WAY too saturated - and that was with the "good" settings listed above. Yellow can be made nearly perfect with calibration tools. But as it comes out of the box, owner's are going to see yellows that are too green, too bright, and too saturated. So much for adding the 4th pixel color.

3d 60"SHARP is my TV
By rudy
I Have this TV. Bought it 6 months ago. No regrets except the price drops(i paid lots more). It is positivly the most Awesome 3d 1080p 240hz TV out there,that i have seen. I live in a big city. So i see lots of new technology. That color yellow makes a differents. Colors ARE STUNNING & VIBRANT. Feels like you can walk into the picture without the 3d effect. AND the 3d is far superior then most other 3d TV. There is NO slag distortion if you move or sit to the side while watching 3d."BUT"there is a omitter light in front for your TV,for your 3d glasses.Do Not cover it or block that light.You need it for your 3d glasses to work. The light is the upside down blue V on TV stand. And yes, you can switch from 120hz & 240hz. Make sure when watching 3d its on 240hz. Now not all 3d Movies are the same, some are 3d all the way thur the movie and some are combined 2d & 3d. Great movie for all ages to watch is The Green Hornet 3d & Yogi Bear 3d...great effects. This Tv also amplifys the older 3d movies with cardboard glasses,,when watched in 2d. To the true theater experience. In your home. I LOVE MY TV.... I think its the BEST. Also You DO NEED a 3d PLAYER.And ALL HDMI CABLES need too be very high speed to keep up with this newer technology. And they are costly $100 to $150 each.If you go to cheaper slower cables your movie will cut in/out too OFF. Good Luck ! Also try to keep all components same brand. Todays technology same brands link up for better quality sounds and picture. No matter what brand.

By Dean C. Deleon
Awesome TV, great manufacturer. I had been researching for a couple of months, even going to several high end stores to see and compare different manuf of 60" screens. I got lucky in that the same movie segment was playing on all of them, so I could compare apples to apples. The brightness of the picture on the Sharp Quatron is what sold me. The added yellow not only makes the colors pop, but small details in movies can be seen. Beware, when connecting the HDMI cable to this TV, the picture does not come on immediately. There is a 5 to 10 second delay. I started changing settings and still couldn't get a picture, so I called Sharp's help number and within a couple of minutes I had a picture. The tech spoke clear english and gave concise directions, the way service should be. For sport fans, one thing to keep in mind, 240hz only works during 3D use, which is true for all comparable models. I haven't used the 3D mode, but we will soon.
