alright i've been trying for 10 minutes to edit that post and it won't let me so lets start again:
I saw the 65 inch 700 series and the 60 inch 800 series and they just didn't look as soft or as dim as this does but I had faith it would resemble them, which it doesn't really. The viewing angle is excruciatingly narrow vertically and horizontally. And its just too much shitty picture. The only thing tolerable on it is a blu-ray in the dark with your head on an angle somewhere between sitting and standing. It looks better if you can get over 12ft away from it but in my room 11ft is the best your gonna do and everyone just says its overwhelming and washy looking.
