i've got a sharp 70" model 732? i think. it was the only sharp 70+" out when i purchased it, so i didn't have the option of 3d or anything else. we watch tv for content rather than the tv itself, so it's been great for us and things like black not being super black aren't an issue. hd football looks fine, haven't watched any hockey since the strike years ago. i'm not a tv junkie and haven't compared it to the other models, so i don't know if i'm missing anything. fwiw i thought the 70" was huge when the box was first delivered, but now it doesn't look that big on the wall. if i had to do it again now, i'd go bigger, all other things being equal. hope that helps.
