Sharp Elite PRO-60X5FD

Pros: Outstanding Picture Quality
Sense of Awe Watching Some Movies
Excellent Support From Sharp

Cons: Price
Flickering Backgrounds In Some Circumstances
Minor Banding

Summary: If you're looking for the TV set that inspires the most jaw drops, then this is it. Movies come to life a little more and the picture pops like no other I've seen! It really is outstanding.

That said, you sort of expect perfection from a TV set so expensive, and this set falls a tad short. The biggest issue is that backgrounds can flicker under the wrong settings and circumstances (as if a flickering candle lit one area of the screen) and you can notice slight banding every once in awhile.

The good news is that tweaking settings can alleviate the flickering problem to the point where it's no longer distracting, but you should set your expectations that this is the best set around, but is nevertheless imperfect.
