The good: The relatively inexpensive Sharp LC-LE640U series delivers accurate color thanks to ample picture controls, as well as a matte screen that works well in bright rooms. Its feature set hits all of the right notes for the price, including excellent help and support options, built-in Wi-Fi, and a remote with three programmable keys to easily access favorite apps. I appreciated its understated styling, especially with such a large screen.
The bad: I noted somewhat lighter black levels and uneven lighting across the screen, both especially obvious in dark scenes under home theater lighting. The Sharp also failed to properly handle film-based (1080p/24) sources, causing slight stutter in certain scenes.
The bottom line: With good picture quality and great pricing, the Sharp LC-LE640U series makes a strong case for mainstream TV shoppers who want to go bigger.

Good tv for the price, big but not so bright
by mnafe on February 24, 2012
Pros: A large tv to fit a large room, it has a pretty good picture and does not dim the lights when you turn it on. The picture is so big you feel like you are handling the camera. Some of the controls are a bit confusing but setup took about 20 minutes.
Cons: Still cannot program with my dvr, not sure of the difference with the le733 model series. Picture is good from the front but washed out from angles of about 50degrees to 0. Not bright as I would like it, with ps3 it is rather dark.
Summary: Overall we got this for an oscar party and for the price $2500 at costco it is a really good deal for the size. The setup and cable layouts are ...

Summary: Overall we got this for an oscar party and for the price $2500 at costco it is a really good deal for the size. The setup and cable layouts are pretty standard - no svideo but 4hdmi and 2 usb ports. We like it but it takes some getting used to. We have a very large room and sit about 15 to 20 feet away so it is not bad but if you are close you can see pixelation. It fit my old mounting bracket so had it on the wall and hooked up in 5 mintues - configuration took a bit and was pretty straightforward but some terms are confusing and are not described well. Picture is very dark with my ps3 with hdmi (was fine with old plasma) and I will look into it more. Sometimes dark areas are too dark but overall pretty good.
