Purchased this 70in tv to replace 60in Sharp LCD which was stolen. I use it in a family room with french doors and skylights so the brightness and matte screen are good for my application. The setup was easy. Picture quality is good but does require some tweaking. My main application is for watching HD sports so the user mode was the best preset to start from. I found the factory color settings to be pretty good and have not had to change them. There is some noticable loss of color and picture quality with viewing angles greater than about 45 degrees. This may or may not be important depending on the arrangement of the viewing area but it is more apparent than my old tv. The larger size does make closer viewing more difficult so the seating area needs to be at least 10-15 ft away. I do not use the speakers since the audio is run through surround sound system. I have not yet used the WiFi or internet features but I would expect these to be better on the more expensive models.
