Stand/Mount

While the stand fits in with the overall design of the Elite PRO-X5FD, it is nothing more than a plastic rectangle. Does this diminish the good looks of this TV? Not really, since consumers shelling out $5,999 for a TV will most likely wall mount it, but it would have been nice to get a stand that matches the quality design of the TV.

On-set Controls

The Elite's on-set controls are found on the left side and are identical to those found on other Sharp TVs, like the LC-80LE844U and the LC-60LE847U. There are buttons for volume and channel control, as well as buttons that will change the input, access the menu, and power the TV.

Remote Control

The Elite remote is fit for a king. This device has more weight to it than most remotes do, which makes it feel like something more powerful than an ordinary remote. Maybe Sharp designed it with a king's scepter in mind.

The layout is good. Buttons are well-sized and spread out sufficiently. All the standard buttons like volume control and channel control are present, with some 21st century inclusions like a 3D, apps, and even a dedicated Netflix button.

In the Box

The Sharp Elite PRO-X5FD comes with a remote, an owner's manual, two pairs of 3D glasses, and warranty information.
