Is this TV panel really a Sharp MVA backlit? Where can I check that info? Thank you.

Sorry I have no idea. I always thought Samsung built in house and did not out source. Not sure how you find this out or why it would matter. I'm sure you have a good reason to find this out, good luck. I can say that after a full year of 7 - 9 hours use practically everyday this TV is working just fine.

Not all plasmas, I am not sure yet why but I have a similar issue too, did not care to check if it was a various coloured noise or just various shades. I DO NOT have it on my other Panasonic professional plasma though.Either it's HDMI cable or just HDMI connection )I use DVI on others - or this TV has more faults then I initially thought...The worse thing is greenish tint vs older pro plasmas which may not have this deep of the black level but are all more accurate in my opinion. I had 2 of these before and haven't noticed this issue just now - also if you display a window on a gray screen you can notice horizontal smudges at the hight of the window border.

Where would I look in the manual to find out. What steps do you do to change that setting on your tv, so I can see if my tv will do that. My tv is a fairly new Sharp Aquos.

Hi Jasmany, If you click on my name, I believe you should be able to look up my reviews. The review I posted of this TV has listed what seem to be the best overall settings for viewing. There are quite a few different settings to get it good, but it's worth the effort. If you like what it looks like after setting it up, please be sure to click that little "yes" button on my review so others can find the review easier. Any other questions, just ask! Enjoy the TV! I love mine!!

I did a side by side comparison at Best Buy in their calibrated Magnolia center. They also had Samsung's flagship LED HDTV from 2013 right beside it (the one I originally intended to purchase.). There was no comparison, the VT just looked better in the dark room. Blacks were truly black with no noticeable light bleed like there was from the LED. The F8500 looked good as well, but the VT won me over. The white level is fine in my living room where I have it wall mounted. It's not in direct sunlight, but the overall picture quality is nice even in moderate lighting.

Yes, I have had it change when viewing Netflix, and the TV set on Standard. I changed it to Pro 1 (my own calibration), and it is much better however it still changes with Netflix (slightly darker). I've not noticed it with anything else. Not a problem for me, I'm guessing it is Netflix, not the P60VT60.

I have had my TV for 1 month now and have not noticed any of this. I would ask a Panasonic expert, but I can tell you that this is the BEST Plasma on the plant today and the colors are much better than any LED TV you could have purchased.

I use this tv daily and i have not experienced this at all. I think you should call sharp and get their take on this.

Wound up w/ the UN40C6300 and so far I think it's great. I don't see the problems that others have found. I'm watching fast paced action and it looks perfect, and I'm incredibly picky.

My Visio M550NV 55" led edge lit uses 75 - 95 watts. My 42" Panasonic Plasma ( 5 years old ) uses 320 - 340 wattsl. You can feel the heat radiating from the screen!Just feel the fronts and backs of these sets in the store. The plasmas are really hot, the lcds are hot and the leds are warm.

The issue with no video but still playing audio along with a functioning backlight is because of early failure of a Sharp t-con board. There was a series of faulty t-cons which have been identified as to which TV's they went into. This issue is covered under warranty. Not a big deal considering the low price: high picture quality factor.

I'm pretty sure this is 1080p. When I checked Vizio's website it says that its 1080p. Here's the link:http://www.vizio.com/flat-panel-hdtvs/vm230xvt.html

This UQ model has a different polished edge type, THX certification, and AquoMotion 960 which is a brighter panel. Hope that helps!

I am not sure how helpful this reply is, but I am in the process of upgrading an existing TV and spent about half an hour just looking at the 55" and up TV's at Best Buy yesterday for about half an hour. I watched about 8 different sets which included both Plasma (Samsung & Panasonic) along with LED edge-lit tv's from Samsung, LG, Sharp and Sony. I have to say that I only saw this on one TV and that was a Sharp 60" set. This set was set to ultra-torch mode and looked pretty crappy in general. I attributed the issue to the settings being cranked too high. I can't guarentee you that the problem would completely disappear with either a DIY adjustment or with professional calibration but I am sure it would be much, much less noticeable. My guess is that the lower end Sharp sets are going to be a little more tempermental and need more adjustments and tradeoffs. I would really like to see one of these sets in a real world set up and adjusted properly (I want a 60" TV with a smaller bexel due to space restrictions (Panny 60" ST30 is just a little too big). I really did like the looks of the LG 55LW5600. I have plasma right now and like it, but I am not convinced the blacks really are that good despite what David K. says on CNET. Some of the edge-lit LED sets do have decent black levels and detail in darker scenes. Maybe not as good as the Panny's, but they are so much brighter (will be used in a well-lit living room) and whites are white and not gray!
