Sharp Elite PRO-70X5FD

Pros: Blacks are just as good or better than kuro black levels
Whites and pure
Picture detail is excellent
Lots of picture tweaking controls
Local dimming
Excellent 3D (2 sets of glasses included)
Quiet (no fan noise)
Doesn't produce lots of heat

Cons: No discrete remote control code support
Off axis the best of any lcd I've seen, but still not close to what a plasma can do
Blue, green, and cyan colors need some adjustment OOTB

Summary: One of the best HDTVs I've sever seen and hands down the best LCD when it comes to black levels and picture detail....even when compared to the Pioneer Elite Kuro plasmas. It can be pricey if you pay retail, but the 70" can be had for ~$6000 if you find the right dealer
