HDR show dazzling color Sharp LCD-60SU860A evaluation

In the October meeting of the Habitat, Sharp released a series of new Internet TV products and made eye-catching. For the first time, the technical features such as split design and YUNOS are also full of topics.

However, today the Sharp LCD-60SU860A that came to the China National Grid Testing Center has retained Sharp's “temperament” in comparison.

To say how this "temperament" should be expressed, let's look down together.

Sharp LCD-60SU860A Appearance Appreciation

If every brand has a design gene, Sharp is clearly a synonym for stability and elegance. Sharp LCD-60SU860A tends to be traditional in appearance design. There is no popular local gold color, and there is no exaggerated front audio system. However, the use of ultra-narrow frame and unique base shape still give this TV band. A breath of fashion. It is worth mentioning that the logo decoration light under the fuselage of Sharp is the most exquisite I have ever seen, the brightness is just right, and there is no very cheap light leakage.

Around the side of the fuselage, someone may want to spit. This thickness is too late to keep up with the times. But this is actually Sharp's own insistence. In today's popularity of side-entry backlighting, Sharp has insisted on direct-lit backlighting at the expense of light and thin appearance in order to ensure the expressiveness of image quality. This “paranoidism” is more interpreted. What is a craftsman's feelings?

This thickness may be somewhat out of place today

If you do not know what is the direct type, side-entry type, I explain a little here: LCD TV at the rear of the panel with LED light group responsible for lighting, LED backlight behind the panel is called direct type, called around the border Side-entry. The number of direct type lamp sets is large, and it is possible to adjust the backlight brightness and opening and closing according to the screen to achieve a better backlight effect. The disadvantage is that it will be relatively heavy.

Sharp LCD-60SU860A remote control design

The TV's remote control is worth a visit. In the convergence of smart TV remote control design, the millet-style remote control style has been somewhat fatigued. Today, Sharp has brought us a unique choice.

Remote control design

Perhaps some familiar with Sharp's friends will have some impression of Sharp's "dishside" modeling remote control, compared to this remote control can be said to have evolved in all directions.

First of all, the shape of the remote control is more structured, without losing ergonomic grip. The black matte material on the front panel also looks more stable and high-end.

Secondly, several important buttons on the remote control have different shapes and blind spots to facilitate blind operation.

Remote control function is rich

Third, the remote control supports all common interaction methods such as somatosensory sensation, key selection, and voice recognition. The highlight is that it adds a touch bar to the top of the arrow keys, providing a new choice for user interaction.

Good handheld grip

As the only part of the TV that directly interacts with the human body, the remote controller is actually testing the true technical capabilities of the manufacturers. Sharp's new remote control design undoubtedly gave us a surprise.

Sharp LCD-60SU860A picture quality evaluation

The picture quality technology hidden in the TV's "Jung-Hyun Peace" fuselage is absolutely black technology level, equipped with a 4K Japan original x super-crystal panel TV can achieve a wide color gamut display, Sharp's unique color technology is also Let this TV support the latest HDR display.

The following reviews will restore the TV to the default settings, the standard display style, Huang Cai technology to open the default value - high. As the camera shooting is not a perfect restoration, the viewer's display devices are also different. The picture effects are for reference only and do not represent the true display effect of the TV.

Since the LCD-60SU860A supports both HDR and wide color gamut effects, the TV's look and feel can be said to greatly exceed Sharp TV, which previously did not support the wide color gamut HDR. In the past, most of our impressions of Sharp were the so-called “realism” that was more biased towards reduction, and focused on nature in terms of color performance. The wide color gamut of the LCD-60SU860A makes the colors even more beautiful, and the screen effect is even more "scratching." At the same time, the use of HDR greatly enhances the contrast between details in the dark and dark areas of the picture. Different from our long-term cognition, HDR TV can achieve or even surpass the human eye's perception of light. When watching HDR TV, there will be a dazzling sensation similar to looking at a strong light source. The enhancement of light and shadow effects further enhances the reduction of the image. .

Sharp LCD-60SU860A System Design

With the popularization of smart TVs, smart systems and content resources on TVs have gradually become the focus of consumers' purchase. Even Japanese televisions, which are known for their quality of picture, have begun to catch smart trains in recent years. Sharp LCD-60SU860A built-in more intelligent system based on Android, interface design more in line with the current mainstream aesthetic and interactive logic, relatively easy to use.

The system offers a wide range of setting options, especially for the main video and audio aspects of the TV, giving the user a great deal of discretion, either by selecting a preset centralized audiovisual mode or by manually adjusting parameters such as contrast, brightness, etc. Features such as dynamic compensation also provide options. This part of the content greatly facilitates the audiophiles to customize the picture and audio parameters according to the content and enhance the audiovisual performance of the TV.

Sharp LCD-60SU860A Content Resources

In terms of system content, Sharp's LCD-60SU860A's own library provides content resources for BesTV and iQiyi. BesTV has a relatively strong first-mover advantage as an early-starter among licensees, and the growth of iQiyi has gradually become a leader in Internet video sites. The strong combination of the two brings rich content resources to Sharp TV. Chinese movies, Hollywood movies, TV shows, variety shows, etc. can all be easily seen on TV. In particular, BesTV's unique NBA and Premiership programs are believed to make sports fans screaming.

The richness of this TV remote control brings an additional advantage, which is the convenience of game operation. The system also specifically provides a game center for this purpose. Through the somatosensory operation of the remote controller, it is easy to control the action shooting games and sports games that are difficult to operate with ordinary remote controls, providing players with a fresh experience and a brand-new game platform.

Sharp LCD-60SU860A evaluation summary

I believe that many industry "old guns" have more complex feelings for Sharp, Sharp's glory before so many people miss it. Although Foxconn's success has injected fresh blood into Sharp, whether it can continue Sharp's steady and introverted genes is a concern for many people in the industry.

But at least on this product, we still see a typical Japanese TV, or that it still retains a strong "Sharp taste." Whether it is fake replacement of the Japanese original LCD panel, or Sharp's unique technology such as Huangcai, Sharp demonstrated the strong technical reserves retained. The intelligent system and the novel remote control design let us recognize the strong creativity of the new Sharp.

The main Japanese original LCD panel is still familiar with the taste

With the advantage of publicity, Internet TV, which has received a great deal of attention for a short period of time, has recently reported rumors of tight funding links. Although the sales during the online shopping season are still gratifying, the stock price seems to be showing some problems. Technology and innovation are bound to become the mainstream of the television industry.
