Pretty good picture, great design,
I’ve lived with my 80″ 857U for about a month now, so here are a few Pro/Con items on upgrading from a 70″ 732 to the 80″ 857U.
Pro
It’s 10 inches larger!
It’s 50% brighter — excellent for a well lit room
The edge lighting doesn’t produce the diamond pattern on bright, solid color backgrounds
The screen corners are not dark
The bezel is very small. It feels like it’s nothing but screen.
It’s a better looking TV from a furniture perspective.
It has 3D (not a big deal to me)
The 3D glasses are blue tooth so you don’t need to keep them pointed at the TV to maintain sync
Better IR sensitivity. The 732 was a bit picky about having the remote pointed in the right place
10 point temperature calibration
The OOTB default color calibration wasn’t too bad in Movie mode
Cons
The battery in the 3D glasses isn’t rechargeable.It’s necessary to buy a battery every 100 hours (according to the manual)
Flash lighting in the 4 corners. In my case, it actually looks more like corner clouding than traditional flash lighting. With my backlight set at -10 (at night), the corners aren’t a problem, even in very dark scenes.
Like all edge lit sets, the center of the screen isn’t as bright as the edges. However, it takes a long exposure photo to see this issue.
The Color Management has some issues. It’s been impossible for me to get the blue primary calibrated correctly and still maintain the correct blue luminance.
The Motion Enhancement settings above 120 High seem to affect color and gamma in ways that I find unacceptable. 240Hz in particular should be avoided
Moving contrast higher than 32 is going to start effecting colors. The set runs out of red at that point and your luminance balance will be off.
Slight less contrast (using the ANSI contrast grid) than the 732. I haven’t noticed this in watching TV, however.
It’s 50 pounds heavier than the 70″ 732

Love the picture, features and no lip syc issues.,
I purchased this TV about a month ago and so far I am loving just about everything about the set. The split screen feature where you can watch TV and surf the internet is much more useful than I expected. The 3D with bluetooth glasses is also amazing. The picture of this set is far superior to my XBR2 Sony Bravia and I am having no lip sync issues what so ever. I also checked the AVSForum to see if anyone else is having this issue and couldn’t find anyone reporting this. I think the previous reviewer reporting this may have a bad HDMI board and should get his TV replaced.

Impressed,
Arrived today on time. Set up was fast and easy. It is as good as I hoped it might be considering I have a similar smaller Samsung that I considered to be perfect. This 80 inch Sharp picture is just as good and the additional 34 inches is outstanding. The only downside is the weight and the price. I got tired of waiting on Apple to produce a TV and so far am very happy with this purchase.
