Let me start by saying this Sharp AQUOS is an absolute unit of a TV. That 75-inch screen dominates my living room like a cinema screen, and the 4K resolution makes every Netflix binge feel premium.

The Direct LED backlighting delivers surprisingly deep blacks for an LCD panel - I was watching The Batman and could actually see details in those shadowy alley scenes. At 380 cd/m2 brightness, it handles sunny rooms better than my last TV, though OLED still wins for pure contrast.

Setup was a breeze - the wireless casting recognized my phone immediately. I use this daily to fling cooking videos from my phone when meal prepping. The ultra-slim bezels give it that sleek 'floating screen' look that makes guests do a double-take.

Now the not-so-good: While I didn't experience the order cancellation issue some reviewers faced, the built-in speakers are disappointingly tinny at this price point. I had to connect a soundbar immediately. Also, the smart features feel dated compared to Roku or Google TV interfaces.

Bottom line? If you find it on sale (and actually receive it), this is fantastic for movie nights and gaming. Just budget for external audio. That massive, crisp 4K screen makes up for most shortcomings if you're after pure viewing real estate.
