Sharp AQUOS Series 60" 1080p 120Hz LED-LCD HDTV LC60LE600U

Pros: I upgraded from a Sharp 37" LCD that was a top model a few years back 63u. I wasn't expecting the picture to be better being most LCD's over 37" can lose their picture quality. Not this LCD, it has an Awesome picture! I'm Impressed with my purchase. It has exceeded my expectations. The picture is great! The on screen menu is easy to navigate. Lots of controls and inputs. I would recommend this LCD.

Cons: Does not like sunlight or high lighted rooms. Best in a dark room. Dark Movies need to be adjusted using the Backlight. Turn up the backlight during movies to fix the dark faces.

Other Thoughts: The remote is cheap. For the price I paid from Newegg I highly recommend this LCD.

Pros: Large screen
Good for bright screens (e.g. sports)

Cons: No dark contrast
Buggy firmware
Refurb

Other Thoughts: I owned this for two weeks, but returned it because of the buggy firmware and the low dark contrast. The unit kept turning itself off even with power saving disabled. Forget about seeing details in dark screens even in a dark room. Even Sharp acknowledged that "dynamic contrast" has to be turned off on this unit in order to stop screen flickering. Black colors also exhibited a blueish hue from an angle (even if you simply watch the screen from 4").

Sadly, I had to spend twice the amount on Sharp's second-best panel (that still shows serrated edges on horizontal lines on Netflix HD movies), but Panasonic plasma would have been the next step up and I could not handle the weight and did not want a reflective screen. Refurb means that (1) short warranty ("extended" warranties hardly ever work unless they are from a respectable local store) and (2) other people disliked it too and in this case, you do not even get what you are paying for. If you never watch movies with dark screen and are able to befriend the above problems, you can buy this unit.
