I ordered this big TV as I was replacing my Mitsubishi 73 inch DLP.
The Sharp as it arrived I got it installed it on the Wall and tossed the Mitsubishi out.
The Sharp has amazing picture. The 3D is so much better and watching the effects are great.
I have owned all the top TV Sets and this is by far the best. My TV viewing experience has changed for better.
If you can afford it then go for it and all your family friends and neighbours will be impressed by the rich colors the size of the screen and the picture quality.
I would recomend buying extra 3d glasses as you will like to experience it all.

I was waiting for this 2012 model TV since I saw it at CES expo, because this 80 inch is the largest 240hz 3d TV so far. I didn't expected this TV to release in March, 2012.

Anyways I bought it from Amazon via Paul's TV for $4472+tax (Los angeles tax=8.75%). Cost me total of $4863.57 with free "white glove" fast delivery. Ordered on Saturday March 31st, and got it delivered on Monday April 2nd, barely just like next day delivery.

Watched my first movie. Just awesome right out of the box. Easy to mount on the wall (takes 2 people). The apps are limited, but I use a PS3 so get my Amazon streaming through that. If you have a few extra $'s, and wall space, you gotta upgradde to this 80 inch wonder. Has 3D - but not why I purchased... Its all about the large screen, which makes me feel like I have a small Movie Theater in my home for ~$5,000 (plus a great sound system, receiver, sub-soofer, etc...)
I got it through Amazon - from Pauls TV - and their white glove delivery couldn't have been easier - or a better value.
