My husband and I decided that instead of getting eachother Xmas presents, we would buy a new TV. We had a 36″ tube TV that took up a lot of space & was beyond heavy. Thus, the search began for a flat panel TV. At first we started looking at 46-52″ and then that went to 55″. We had already decided that we didn’t want a Plasma but an LCD or LED.

Based on reviews we were first interested in the Sony Bravio, it seemed like the best reviews for what we wanted and for a good price. Then we took a trip to Best Buy. They had 6 55″ LCD TV’s on display and actually all of them looked pretty nice. The Sony Bravio and 1 other(can’t remember) had the best looking pictures in our opinion. We were not yet ready to purchase anything and went to Sams Club to check out their TV’s.

That is where we saw this Big Boy, 60″ of Beautiful TV. It WAS bigger than all the rest, it DID outshine all other TV’s…except 1. There was a 55″ Visio True LED and that had a comparable picture to this one in my opinion, my husband thought it was slightly better(and very slightly), I’m sure because it was LED. The Sharp was a little over 2K and the Visio was a little under 2K.

So we were torn on what to do. We decided to go ahead and get this 60″ Big Boy. Although we thought the Visio was the newer technology with the LED, this one still had a Beautiful picture and was better to us than any of the other TV’s. Also we’ve had many Sharp Electronics and have always been pleased with them.

We actually don’t have cable, we have regular TV & watch regular DVD’s. All I can say is AWESOME!! The colors of this TV are amazing & so colorful, my 1 year old twins LOVE watching cartoons on it. We are completely happy with our TV.

When making such a big/expensive purchase, I really recommend going to the store & checking them out in person. But if you can’t do that or you are buying this as a gift for someone and having it shipped, I guarantee you they will be pleased with this. Especially for a Man, telling his friends he has a 60″ TV is a VERY proud moment! My husband couldn’t wait to go to work and tell all his friends.

Had we wanted a little “smaller” of a TV, we would have gotten the Visio LED. But if you are wanting a real Big Boy, you won’t be dissapointed with this. I think the sound of the TV is fine, not sure how it would be with movies because we have surround sound for that.

We hung our TV on the wall, we didn’t want an entertainment center because we have 1 year old twins who love to climb on things like that. The best deal we found for mounting it on the wall is at IKEA. If you are in the TV stand/wall area, ask one of their sales people what will hold a 60″ TV. Originally we were going to get this wood thing to mount on the wall but they only had 1 thing big enough for a 60″ TV so that is what we got. We also got a shelf from there that we attached to the wall above the TV to put the surround sound/DVD player. Everything is out of reach of our curious babies! Although we still need to get something to conceal the cords.

Since we have 1 year old twins, we don’t get to the movies and now that we have this AWESOME, HUGE TV, I don’t see us going to the theatre anytime soon. I’d much rather lay on my comfy couch, snuggled with a blanket, eat as many snacks or drinks as I want w/out it costing me a fortune & going to the potty w/out missing anything and did I mention AWESOME, HUGE TV?? (actually this may be a selling point for someone, if you need to convince your significant other to get this TV, just tell them how much money you’ll save on gas, movie tickets, movie snacks, etc)
