Wow! Has Sharp dumped the Quattron crap for good now, because I don't see it I the specs, or did that just get conveniently left off the technical specs? Nice set without Quattron. Crap set with it.

There is always a lot of Quattron hate, but at the end of the day, it doesn't "hurt" your set. At best, it doesn't really improve it much. Most people claim they can't see a difference, so its not of value. I've never heard someone claim the picture was WORSE because of Quattron.
And this deal, for a 70" set of any LED, is still a good deal.

This is the 632 70", it does not have Quattron, its RGB. The 732 version of the 70" does have quattron, and AVS forums seems to think it has MUCH better PQ. Just food for thought. This is a great deal and im still trying to decide whether to pull the trigger or not.
Wineaux said: Yes, it does mess up your picture. You will have inaccurate color rendition no matter what you do to a Quattron set.
Yes, of course! That's what I read everywhere. Oh wait, you have zero sources to back up your argument, and no one seems to agree with you. It seems like you have no idea what the technology does and have some sort of ignorantly stupid claim to make about it.
RGB and RGBY are both VERY common color systems. It's not like an RGB set doesnt have yellow.
Sorry, the RGB subpixels make yellow by turning on the various subpixels to create the color. When you add in a separate Y subpixel, the RGB subpixels are STILL going to be creating yellow, plus the yellow subpixel will turn on, thereby oversaturating the yellow spectrum. No commercial video or film camera supports RGBY, so they aren't addressing the enhanced color gamut at all, so you will always have overblown yellows and inaccurate color reproduction. Now if Sharp somehow managed to convince Hollywood to start shooting in RGBY, then things would all be peachy. Well, for the films and shows that are filmed that way. Everything else would STILL have their yellows screwed up.
RGBY may be common in some high end graphic design or photography programs on computers, but for Hollywood and broadcast television? Not so much.

I really don't want to get involved in this argument, but the consensus among most enthusiasts is that quattron does very little if anything to help produce more accurate colors, but that point is irrelevant because this TV doesn't have it, and it's a great deal.
If you do really care about the arguments for and against RGBY in Quattron TV's, just read through this very detailed thread at AVS.

I absolutely agree with you, and that's why I started the discussion with "There is always a lot of Quattron hate, but at the end of the day, it doesn't "hurt" your set. At best, it doesn't really improve it much. Most people claim they can't see a difference, so its not of value. I've never heard someone claim the picture was WORSE because of Quattron." And you're right, there is no reason for this argument here as it's not a Quattron set.
