![]() I cross shopped the Sharps after hearing all the praise from others, and honestly I wasn't at all impressed with them. I much prefer the Samsung LCD's over the Sharps. Also 120Hz is best if you watch a lot of sports, but for movies 60Hz is still best.

![]() So after going there last night I was very unimpressed at the picture quality. The picture looked pretty grainy, and sitting there beside non 120hz tv's the picture was just not up to par which is weird. Ive always wanted the samsung 6 or 7 series so I think ill save up abit more and get that.
Pretty disappointing...

![]() I've never been a friend of the Sharp series. If you ask some of the more experience Futureshop guys they'll tell you nothing in the store beats their 7 series Samsungs.

![]() sharp is one of the most innovative companies when it comes to LCD.
they damn near invented them. One of the first companies to incorporate it into a home entertainment application and THE first to commercially produce an LCD (remember those blue lit calculators?) I'd buy one of the aquos in a second, especially the 120hz ones. You cannot get a good feel for tv to tv comparison unless they are dialed in the exact same way and operating off the exact same feed, even then different tvs will display differently which is not indicative of quality. I worked at soundsaround in Calgary for 2 years, so I do have some general knowledge of what we tell you to buy certain things. Future shop might not get commision, but believe me, the reps wil motivate with hockey tickets, free merchandise and the like for selling more of their units. NEVER believe a salesman, no matter how much you like what they have to say. Trust me, we're all crooks. |

Your best bet would be to find a store that sells Sharp, Panasonic, and Samsung and compare similar models. Find one with a picture you like or features you like, and buy that one. Contrast ratio isn't really a 'myth' as such but is overused as a rating of how bright the picture is. The contrast ratio isn't really how bright the image is, it's the difference between the brightest white and the darkest black... And there is no true black on LCD screens, because even when all the pixels are dark some light leaks through. Specially if you are at an angle to the screen... I personally would look for one with really REALLY dark blacks, and with minimal colour shifting when viewed at an angle. LCDs are quirky that way, because of the tiny moving crystals in the display... Can't wait for OLEDs to take over in a couple years. Maybe ![]()

![]() yeah, it's 100% personal opinion.
Don't let brand or price point dictate what appeals to your eye. you have different eyes than the salesman, and will probably use your tv differently from him, so wtf does he/she know? |

You should of heard the sales guy pitch for it and how he excused why the picture quality was so grainy? He asked me to stand back 10 feet and then said it looks much better from this point. Of course you cant see the grains from that distance but it shouldnt be like that anyways. I can stand 2 feet from from the samsung 7 series and see no pixelation on it. Anyways Im sure this TV is pretty good, but after looking at the samsung series there is no compairson in my mind.
