As far as I know, it's an LCD TV with LED backlight.

It's about 3/4" thick, if that. Maybe 5/8ths.

I have one of these and the picture is so clear that it looks bizArre at first, too real. My friends freak out on it the first time they watch anything on it. It takes a long time for the TV to turn on. I say that's because the people have to get in it. It looks that real. Awesome for football too!

Yeah, that's the only bummer: It takes about 10 seconds or so to turn on and heat up. I'm usually so busy that sometimes, I'll hit the power button again, only to turn it off, because I'd forgotten if I actually turned it on!

I've totally done that.

I just make sure I turn it on before I start getting settled in or turn the Directv box on. Usually by then it's on.

What brand? Got a Sharp 60" and its amazing. Then again I went from a 53" 8 yr old projection TV that was the infancy of HD. The difference almost seems as great as going from standard to HD did. LED's are awesome, especially when sitting straight in front of them. Off to the side isn't great, but it's not a big deal. I also got lucky with mine. Sharp had to replace it due to an issue and they didn't have any in stock, so I got a massive upgrade on one.

Anyway, if this was your first time with that type of TV, I'm guessing you are rather enjoying it.

I've got two LCD LED Vizio's: A 42" in my "office" and a 37" in my wife's office. I mainly purchased them because of their heat and efficiency ratings, because I'm trying my best to do all I can to lower our electricity usage (I've replaced other appliances and our A/C unit as well).

I've got a 2012 LCD Sharp Aquos in the family room and that thing puts out some heat. Not a ton, per se, but you can definitely feel the difference when it's on for an hour or so and walk out of the room. Someday, I'll replace the remaining four LCD's with LED's.

Cool. My Sharp is an Aquos as well. I'm not blown away by it's ability to show fast motion but I still am very happy with my choice, one I spend too much time on usually. Yeah my "man cave" doesn't do our bill any favors with the 3 TV's either.

One silly thing I like about it is the ability to turn off the video and leave the sound on. Whether it's listening to music on the sound system or falling asleep I feel it helps in the conservation attempt. I am someone who likes falling asleep with the TV on but not really for the visual aspect.

I have three Sharp Aquos and three Vizio's (2 LED's and one LCD). Believe it or not, I think I'll only purchase Vizio's from Costco in the future. They double the manufacturer's warranty for free and quite honestly, I think the Vizio's look just as good, if not better (LED).

Yeah it seems differences are getting smaller between the expensive big names and the value companies. Like I said I got really luck with the upgrade on my TV. I went from a decent level one to the highest quality Sharp has for free. The original was solid, especially compared to my old one, but this one is a lot better. Zero clouding which I enjoy because that drives me crazy.
