Sharp AQUOS LC-80UH30U LED 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HDTV: A great addition to your home theater, 4K Ultra HD resolution displays movies and TV shows in stunning detail, while a fast refresh rate keeps action scenes clear. Smart TV functionality lets you stream your favorite content from YouTube and Netflix.

We purchased our Sharp Model LC-80UH30U 4K 80" TV on a Monday during the Sharp Week Sale ($3999) and had it delivered and installed on Wednesday morning. After the start-up screens, our first step was to update the firmware/software which took about 45 minutes hooked up to our home network via an Ethernet cable. We used the NETGEAR Powerline AV500 Nano Ethernet Adapter to get our high-speed Ethernet cable to our TV.
Right from the start, we could see the difference from our old Sharp 70" 1080p TV. We use DirecTV with HD service and BluRay for our HD movies. Both are significantly improved by playing on the new 3840 x 2160 pixel screen. I'm sure this is due to the quality of the REVELATION 4K Upscaler, SPECTROS Rich Color Display and the AquoDimming features of this model. The picture is great, the best we have ever seen, and it is fairly easy to tweak it to your taste.
The 'Google Cast' included with our TV was a separate USB stick, which we stuck into USB1 on our set. It works fine casting pictures and video from my desktop PC. There are more apps and internet options included with this set than we'll ever use, but others probably will consider them important.
We used all the same HDMI cables as with the old 1080p setup. We run all sources to our Yamaha YSP-4100 Digital Sound Projector with a single HDMI taking video to the TV. Have no problems with this setup. We have a digital optical cable taking the TV's sound (from antenna or internet) to the DSP. We'll use a new 4K certified HDMI cable direct to the TV when (and if) we get one of the new Ultra HD BluRay players coming out next year.
On the con side, we found that turning on the Aquomotion960 refresh rate had a profound negative effect on the picture's color and contrast which cannot be entirely corrected for. However, we also found that there was very little motion blur (if any) on the TV's 120Hi setting which provided a perfect picture. Football on ESPN was virtually flawless.
We streamed some 4k content from Netflix and it was great. Very detailed, very colorful. But frankly, the end quality of the DirecTV HD channels are just as good as the pro 4K files from Netflix on this TV. We have also tried it out with our Nintendo WiiU. The images there almost looked 3D they were so sharp.
Overall, we are very happy with this set and look forward to putting it to plenty of good use.

As a film, I'd give it four stars out of five. As a product, I'm giving it five. It came with BR-3D, BR and DVD disks. The 3D was so well done that I forgot it was "3D" while watching the movie.

What's great about it: The 3D effect is smooth and doesn't distract from the film
What's not so great: Hollywood knows some physics, but still gets much wrong

You need this to play many, if not all, games that use the motion plus controller. Nintendo's prices are high but the quality is excellent.

Nintendo gear cost more, but then it does last forever. The power button works well with the Wii U in both regular and Wii mode.

Enemies will fall at the wave of your hand. Goals will be grasped with the reach of your arm. Sports tournaments will be won by the twist of your wrist. Your gaming destiny is clear when you're armed with the Wii Remote Plus controller. Hyper-sensitive to recognize your slightest movements, the Remote Plus eliminates buttons and joysticks and replaces them with the natural, fluid gestures of your body.A controller has never been so simple to use. Integrated MotionPlus technology intuitively recognizes every swing, twist, swish and blow and reproduces it on the screen with unbelievable accuracy, taking your mind off the buttons and into the battle, tournament or race. When your controller no longer controls you, the reins are yours to take ~ steer your way to success.

This is my first stick control with the motion- plus built in. Came with a comfort sleeve grip, a big plus. Feels great in your hand and works even better. These Nintendo brands cost more than I'd like but hold up for forever and work fine.
