Ultimate Design Huang Cai Technology Sharp S60 TV Reviews
The pace of development in the television industry has been astonishing. Back when we were younger, our homes still featured black-and-white TVs. Nowadays, they’ve all been replaced by sleek 4K LCD models. The video quality on these new TVs has left me absolutely amazed. The idea of "borderless" products has seeped into our consciousness, making people more inclined toward items that embrace this aesthetic. Phones are borderless, computers are borderless, and now TVs must also be borderless. In the age of the Internet of Things, consumers are increasingly drawn to smart devices. With endless possibilities for software and content development, smart TVs are becoming the norm. Sharp’s S60 is exactly such a product—offering supreme quality while incorporating a borderless design. It's a true smart TV.
Over the last couple of years, competition in the domestic TV market has been fierce, with international brands retreating. Thanks to the rise of the internet and the integration of smart systems, domestic brands have surged ahead, becoming the dominant force in the TV industry. However, local brands face a significant challenge: a lack of core technology, particularly in liquid crystal display technology. Many users thus gravitate toward products with superior display capabilities. Sharp’s arrival solves this issue by offering original imported Japanese Sharp screens, delivering a superior visual experience.
Sharp recently unveiled its latest product—the AQUOS Trump series S60 all-in-one TV and S60U split TV. Today, I’m excited to share my experience with the Sharp S60 all-in-one TV and see how this borderless design and cutting-edge color technology deliver an unforgettable visual experience.
Stunning Design, Love at First Sight
The Sharp S60 all-in-one TV boasts a 60-inch screen with 4K resolution and supports high-quality HDR technology. Sharp emphasizes that this TV features a "narrow frame" design, delivering a jaw-dropping visual effect. The setup process is straightforward—within 20 minutes of unpacking, we had the TV assembled. Removing the unit from the box and securing the base is a breeze, and two people can easily handle it.
One of the greatest advantages of the all-in-one design is its sleek simplicity. While it might not be as flexible as a split-type TV, I personally adore this minimalist approach. Sharp doesn’t just focus on display effects; they envision TVs as part of home decor. This product embodies that philosophy beautifully.
This borderless TV has an exceptionally thin bezel made from aviation-grade aluminum, lightweight yet robust, creating a perfect frame. Sharp has gone the extra mile to ensure aesthetic appeal and quality, rounding the edges to achieve a "crystal black" finish that’s visually striking.
To accommodate the slim body design, the stand is equally simple, employing a bright silver high-light plating and anodizing process. Don’t let its size fool you—it can effortlessly support a 60-inch screen. The stand’s angle ensures stability, and the speakers are positioned beneath the body, their silver color contrasting sharply with the black panel.
The back of the TV has a two-tier design. The upper portion is thin and lightweight, featuring a glossy finish consistent with the bezel. The lower section covers the main components, with all interfaces placed on the rear. To maintain a cohesive look, Sharp thoughtfully designed a removable back cover. If connected wirelessly, you basically just need to plug in the power cord to start using it.
Of course, extensibility remains crucial for TVs, so this model is equipped with a decent number of interfaces, including an SD card slot, HDMI ports, USB ports, and audio/video input/output connections. The entire TV has only one physical button—a power button located at the back of the unit.
How narrow is the bezel of this TV? Simply incredible. The bezel measures a mere 1.6 millimeters thick, blending seamlessly with the "crystal black" frame. To give you a sense of just how narrow that is, I compared it to a one-dollar coin—seemingly too thick in comparison.
How thin is it? The S60 boasts a thickness of 9.1mm, which is impressively slim for a TV of this size. Nut Pro’s thickness is 6.98mm, but the two designs feel slightly different—one bold and the other refined.
Sharp is playful with its design, particularly with the front logo placement. Instead of a conventional graphic design, they broke the mold here, highlighting the logo while cleverly hiding a breathing light called “Moto Light.†It glows when powered on or in standby mode, especially noticeable during startup when the light slowly rises, enhancing the impression of a narrow bezel.
Outstanding Picture Quality, a Visual Feast
Display technology is one of Sharp’s specialties, and the high-quality screen of this TV benefits from Sharp’s top-notch LCD panel technology. The AQUOS S60 offers a resolution of 3840x2160 and incorporates a wide color gamut technology with NTSC >96%, ensuring fine detail and vibrant colors. Additionally, the TV employs Sharp’s exclusive color technology, elevating its display performance significantly.
Huangcai, a comprehensive term encompassing various technologies like backlight control, brightness detection, and Sharp panels, is a testament to Sharp’s excellence. By combining top-notch hardware with advanced software optimization, the TV delivers exceptional picture quality. Huangcai is a hallmark of Sharp’s image quality technology and a key component of their high-end AQUOS TVs.
The blessing of 4K resolution and Huangcai optimization makes this TV’s display superb. During 4K picture tests, it’s evident that this TV excels in detail rendering, accurate color reproduction, and impactful visuals.
Playing 4K videos poses no problem. The system’s powerful configuration makes handling 4K resources effortless, with smooth fast-forward operations. Moreover, Sharp’s exclusive optimizations enhance the display effect, ensuring consistency between video playback and picture display, even in intricate details. Watching 4K demo clips, this TV truly stands out with its outstanding picture quality, meeting even the most demanding user expectations.
Sound Quality, Shocking to the Ears
While the display effect is paramount, achieving a great viewing experience also requires an impressive auditory impact. The S60’s integrated front speakers provide a one-piece audio solution. For those who prefer a split design, the S60U model is available. The S60’s design is sleeker and better suited for users who value simplicity. Many assume split speakers offer better sound quality, but the S60’s speakers also deliver impressive results.
The one-piece design also prioritizes aesthetics. The S60’s speakers have a silver appearance, slim and elegant, complementing the squat profile of the screen. This combination enhances the TV’s beauty as part of home decor.
Beyond its design, the TV features four woofers and a set of treble and midrange horns, both inside and out. This blend creates balanced music performance, restoring audio textures well. The bass is full-bodied, and the highs are clear and transparent. Watching action-packed scenes in movies, the sounds of explosions, gunfire, and battle cries left me stunned. Playing Zhang Jie’s “He Can’t Understand†4K MV, the studio-quality sound was mesmerizing.
Localization UI, Tailored to Habits
As the largest display terminal in the home, the user experience is critical. With the advent of smart systems, TVs now boast numerous features. The Sharp S60 is an Android-based smart TV equipped with a brand-new TaitumUI. Its waterfall flow layered desktop offers a user-friendly interface and convenient interaction.
The smart TV OS is closely tied to the internet, allowing connection via wired networks or Wi-Fi. For someone who values simplicity like myself, choosing Wi-Fi is ideal. The S60 allows downloading various TV apps, expanding video resources and transforming the TV beyond just a display tool.
Built-in rich audio and video resources make navigation quick. The waterfall flow layered desktop addresses the challenge of displaying vast resources effectively. Sharp divides the desktop into modules like VIP zones, selections, TV dramas, movies, variety shows, and applications. Each section houses its own vertical resources, greatly simplifying user access to desired content.
In terms of resources, Sharp collaborates with video providers, offering excellent VOD services covering 36 channels across four major libraries. Popular video resources are readily available. It also supports downloading and expanding applications like micro-viewing. Content is no longer an issue. My frequent use involves the Children Channel, which parents with kids might appreciate. It includes children’s animations, songs, educational videos, and puzzles, helping kids grow healthily.
Supporting game downloads is another major feature of modern smart TVs. As smart TVs have evolved rapidly, game applications have gained traction. There are many resources and diverse gameplay options. Simple games can be played using the remote control, while others support controllers. Occasionally playing games with your kids not only strengthens bonds but also stimulates cognitive development.
Features, Prioritizing Ease of Use
Using the AQUOS Sharp S60, several intriguing features stood out. These small touches make the TV more intuitive and user-friendly. Voice recognition is built-in, with a dedicated button on the remote control. Pressing it triggers voice commands for various operations.
Xinfei’s voice recognition capability is commendable, and Sharp’s optimization of voice functions is meticulous. It feels like having an on-demand smart assistant. Asking about the weather or setting reminders feels natural. Saying “I want to watch Railway Guerrilla,†the TV automatically opens the search page and enters the query, allowing you to select what to watch.
Another standout feature is the unique shortcut, essential once experienced. Switching apps on a phone is seamless, but on TV, it’s cumbersome. Sharp’s shortcut function solves this problem globally—long-pressing the shortcut key on the remote recalls shortcuts on any page.
The TV also offers multitasking functionality akin to smartphones, calling up the app list by long-pressing the HOME button for quick switching.
Losing the remote isn’t a problem either. The S60 supports mobile control via an app called “TV Easy to Control.†When your phone and TV are on the same network, you can operate the TV from your phone. The biggest advantage of this is eliminating lost remotes—a common frustration. This app also supports “air mouse†functionality, using the phone’s sensors for precise positioning.
Experience a High-Quality TV with Balanced User Experience
The design is the first reason to fall in love with this product. Its sleek appearance, stunning 1.6mm narrow bezel, and 9.1mm ultra-thin body reflect Sharp’s pursuit of perfection. The bezel is made of aviation-grade aluminum, lightweight yet strong, creating a perfect "borderless" visual experience.
The S60 series can be seen as the "crystal of love" from Foxconn and Sharp. Combining Sharp’s century-old technology with Foxconn’s industrial prowess, this TV represents advanced industrial design. Compared to domestic brands, Sharp’s new products have strong core competitiveness, featuring original imported Japanese Sharp screens. Additionally, Sharp’s new Huangcai technology enhances the TV’s display, delivering an unparalleled visual experience.
TaitumUI brings a unique interactive experience with rich content and clear categorization. Various features enrich user interaction, integrating intelligence into daily life. With these hardware and software foundations, the Sharp S60 flagship is poised to dominate the high-end TV market.
