I've been using my tv extensively over the last month and I can definitely verify that Sharp still makes a very high quality product. 
My sofa is 18 feet away from the tv and I found that with that distance a 75" tv is the absolute perfect size for it.    My recliner where I play lots of xbox games sits around 13 - 14 feet away and on a slight angle from the tv and it is also very comfortable on the eyes.   Anything closer I would think the tv would be to large in size to watch comfortably. 
For the model that I purchased,   the FALD does look nice,  I have looked closely on games/movies during darker scenes and it does a real good job of keeping the darker areas more black while lighting up the other areas which are brighter.  
I can't remember what Sharp calls its "smoothing" option,  but I had set it on minimum because if you have it on the maximum the soap opera effect is way to distracting and for me it gives me a headache.   On the lower setting the faster scenes do look smoother and it doesn't have that weird look to it.  
The blacks are above average ,  not as deep as what I saw on the Sony but it's far from being anything that looks washed out or having a tinge of gray in it. The image quality is razor sharp,  games look absolutely amazing on it.       The smart tv functions are average at best,  not as good as most other brands.
I've been playing a lot of Forza Horizon 3 as of late and it is jaw dropping gorgeous of a game and the tv really shows this off well.  The colors on the tv are very vibrant.  I am going to buy an Xbox One S this Holiday season and will see if the HDR support on the game will make any difference at all. 
I've watched some 4k content and it of course looks absolutely insane.
Overall for a $3200 dollar tv this is a great buy and I definitely would recommend it for anyone who wants 75" and that doesn't want to spend an arm and a leg.     The difference between this tv and the LG and Sony that are double in price is absolutely minimal at best. 

oh good grief.  Two more words - Justin Trudeau.

Franklin isn't hyped that much. Not nearly as high as Harris or Collaros or even Willy.
Troy Smith was hyped even higher then Franklin.
 

I lol'd at the conference call when someone asked Chevy that now that Trouba was signed would the club now put Byfuglien on wing....   hilarious stuff

What's wrong with Glenn coming back as the back up?

Fixed....

I would of been pissed if O'Shea had harris running at the end of the game when we had pretty much sealed the deal.  
It takes only one play to f the play offs for us ... ask Kevin about that.  
The Dressler 6 yard pass is super easy to run and incredibly low % chance of injury.   
 
My bigger concerns would be the mental errors and Nicholls forcing the ball earlier on...

You don't say... Gee I wish someone would have said this before we hired him... oh wait, everyone did!

I will be amazed if he lasts the whole year... 

Because he's Lapo and he's the most over rated offebsive coordinator in the league

Besides being from manitoba.... he's not really an upgrade on stu or Chiarot for that matter. Nobody claimed him so that says all you need to know. 

You mean the same guy who was winless in 15 games when he played for the Ice Caps.... yes we missed the boat on him! 

I donated on behalf of the site.  Thought it was a worthy cause from the ad revenue.  So thanks to everyone who lurks, posts, reads, and clicks on ads.

Maybe I can't shake the memory of Adams being a guy who shows up big for one game and then takes the next two off.....

So his wife loses too.

Morris Lukowich looked in great shape, holy cow.

What happened to that rider fan who was mad that a poster on MBB suggested that the ALS could POSSIBLY beat the riders. 

Some people can just never be happy.

So what *if* they low ball and offer him a 2 year contract..... meanwhile Toronto/Montreal sees a young coach who progressed with a really good season and then offers him a 3- 4 year deal? 
 
 

I thought they gutted 80% of the staff worldwide (not just in Canada)?
It's also a shame that they rid themselves of all those staff .... yet kept Dana White.

I lived 2 - 3 years in Ottawa...   what I found is that a lot of the city has people who are purely workaholics/business oriented and they tend to focus on work and keep to themselves.  A lot of people I worked with had no kids and really were not really into going out and having fun. 
I remember how one radio station was trying to get a petition going to get concerts to stop by to Ottawa since they never get any of the big acts.  It's amazing how much more concerts and other arts come to Winnipeg compared to Ottawa.
When I lived there during the Sens cup run the town was really big into the team.... up until they lost.   I went to the airport to see the team when they came back expecting that their would be festivities and a big group of fans gathering....  their was maybe 100 people if that.
For hockey ,  it was mostly Leafs fans,  followed by Habs fans from Gatineau and a small minority actually cared about the Sens.
The arena is good and it's not that hard to access it,   my guess is that people just don't give a crap because the city is full of fair weather fans and the older more rich folks are stuck up and just don't leave the house.     
Their only hope would be to be like the Redblacks and move somewhere centralized and where they can attract the younger university/college kids (the only people in town who like to have fun).
