SHARP Sharp, an internationally renowned company known as the "Father of LCD," has not given up on the innovation and research of LCD after 100 years of experience and experience. In today's impetuous and even exaggerated television field, what is missing is such a persistent pursuit of high-quality display technology and unremitting persistence in the high quality of television. However, Sharp, which has accumulated for more than a hundred years, continues to lead the advancement of television display technology with this mentality of returning to the essence and returning to the origin. On August 11th, Sharp held the “Summer 2015 Sharp AQUOS New Product Briefing Conference†in Beijing, detailing its new generation of TV flagship products, LCD-80XU35A and LCD-70XU30A. The high-level display effect is shocking and high-tech. The LCD technology is awe-inspiring and a bunch of visual flames are being lit by Sharp TV.
Xiao Bian first conducted a deep evaluation of the Sharp LCD-80XU35A smart TV.
3D sound/virtual surround sound
Sharp LCD-80XU35A uses a lot of new technologies in image quality performance, such as a new generation of four-color technology, X8-MEP professional image processing engine, a new generation of color technology, new wide color gamut technology, these new technologies are faithful to quality Television has performed quite well in terms of contrast, brightness, color reproduction, detail presentation and so on. In particular, Sharp's proud “new huangcai†technology is different from the previous “huangcai†technology in terms of the number of segmented regions and the peak brightness of the backlight, which greatly enhances the local light control capability of the backlight. The author of this TV's remote control is also particularly invaluable in the evaluation. The manipulation of buttons + touch + gestures makes the operation of the TV more simple and flexible.
Note: The evaluation of this project is an engineering prototype. There may be some differences with the official sales version. Please pay attention to the official news about this machine.
Sharp LCD-80XU35A Appearance Appreciation
The minimalist style of front is like a black waterfall, pure and deep; with elegant platinum crystal base, and transparent acrylic panels, so that the overall body is particularly artistic and elegant. Its thickness is 75mm at the thinnest point. Compared with such a large body, and the high-end dense TV components on the back, this thickness is also insignificant.
The metal frame on the side is precise and solid, and fits tightly with the panel frame. CNC machine milling, R-round knife to cut, so that the metal edge is very outstanding. For an 80-inch TV, the panel frame width of only 7.1mm allows the front screen to have excellent visual impact, as if the picture can be extended indefinitely.
On the back of the open air, the fine texture of the sand injection molding is also very close to the skin of the palm of your hand. The heat dissipation openings are not messy, just like you are breathing, making the huge back full of vitality.
Good horses are equipped with good saddles, and noble TVs also need to be equipped with elegant and stable bases. The TV uses a metal hook-type base, solid and stable. At the bottom, a transparent acrylic panel is installed to reflect sound. This acrylic panel is combined with structural acoustics. It uses a reflective panel structure to increase the clarity of subwoofers and enhance bass performance. The ability to improve sound quality also adds a lot of art to television.
Sharp LCD-80XU35A configuration interface is quite complete, with three HDMI interfaces and two USB interfaces, other necessary interfaces are also readily available, greatly guaranteeing a wealth of high-definition transmission and multimedia reading. In addition there is a microphone input interface for home karaoke.
The design of this TV remote control should be the most distinctive, compact but full of sense of weight, while the process of back scrub also makes feel good, as if the jade in his hand, people nostalgia. At the same time, this remote control "air rat" control experience, but also to the TV adds a lot of playability.
Summary: Although it is huge, it is not bloated. The ultra-narrow frame, elegant base, smart back panel, and jade-like remote control make this 80-inch TV full of artistic atmosphere and elegant atmosphere.
Sharp LCD-80XU35A quality test
In the picture quality evaluation, we adjusted the display parameters of the TV to the system default, and used the least interference to restore the most essential content. The evaluation room used a professional instrument to test and score the product in five aspects, and made a five-dimensional performance chart, as shown in the above figure.
Evaluation results as shown above, in the color adjustment, measured Sharp LCD-80XU35ANTSC color gamut as high as 115.26% horror (using the internationally accepted CIE1976 color gamut standard, due to test environment problems may have some errors), the new wide color The domain technology uses a new type of fluorescent LED that is exclusively developed. By packaging red and green phosphors in a blue LED, the purity of red and green colors is greatly improved compared to a conventional TV. At the same time, four colors of yellow subpixels are added. Technology panels complement each other and achieve the industry's highest level of color reproduction. Thanks to the "New Color" technology, smart adjustment and supplementation of the backlight, this TV has reached a very high level in terms of contrast and brightness.
Power performance test
178.7w
201.3w
As an 80-inch 8K-definition TV, the power control performance is very surprising to the author, less than the average power consumption of 200 watts is not easy, Sharp's meticulous set-up of the hardware has just reached the point where everything is in full swing.
The test result shows that the color gamut of Sharp LCD-80XU35A reaches 115.26%. From the perspective of the color transitional tricolor chart, the color transition is relatively natural, and there is no obvious wiring between the three color transitions. It can also be seen from the macro-point diagram of the pixel in the lower left corner of the figure that Sharp displays two luminance information in each horizontal and vertical direction of one pixel, which improves the 4K resolution by a factor of four and realizes 8K resolution.
In order to ensure the authenticity and stability of the data, we conducted many tests on the Sharp LCD-80XU35A at this stage. The results of each test were also quite consistent: the test instruments were all qualified. The brightness uniformity can be seen from the table data in the figure is very ideal, the color consistency is also very beautiful.
In the silk standard test screen, we can see that Sharp's LCD-80XU35A's color reproduction can be quite good, the color is soft and natural, the different shades of the same color can be well distinguished, there is no color cast, details The characterization is also very delicate.
In the yarn ball test screen, we mainly look for whether there is a bond area between the right and bottom yarn balls. From the above test screen, basically all colors can be well restored, the middle blue plush ball and There is almost no adhesion between red and pink in the lower right corner, and no color cast occurs.
Summary: In this part of the color test, Sharp LCD-80XU35A demonstrated the advantages of the ultra-wide color gamut television brought by its four-color technology panel. The screen is colorful, high saturation, accurate color reproduction, and such color performance, the author Can not help but give a high score of 9.5 points.

In the brightness test, we turn on the color technology and use the default brightness value. This brightness looks more natural. Through the real shot screen can be seen Sharp LCD-80XU35A white screen performance is very good, the picture is clear and detailed, all kinds of white and gray are very well distinguished. Based on Sharp's "New Color" technology, the peak brightness has reached 1328cd/m2, and this result has been excellent in 4K TVs, not to mention 8K resolution TVs.
Grayscale performance, from the test screen, all levels of gray can be distinguished, the most difficult to distinguish the 0 ~ 1 segment can also be a little distinction, visually legible.
When the surrounding environment is completely black, when the television picture is adjusted to be completely black, the degree of light leakage is directly observed with naked eyes, which is the most direct judgment that the calibration of the television panel is excellent. When I turn off the evaluation room light source, as shown in the figure, it is exactly the same as closing the TV. Sharp LCD-80XU35A in the control panel performance is perfect, the screen is all black, there is no light leakage problem!
Summary: Sharp LCD-80XU35A light control capability is very good, black and white picture performance is very strong, dark details can be well preserved. Sharp's "New Color" technology is not only a localized light control technology. The traditional local light control technology is a bright part of the image, turning on the backlight, the dark part of the image, turning off the backlight, thereby increasing the contrast. The “New Color†technology first analyzes the self-luminous and reflected light in the brightness part of the image, and at the same time with the backlight control, the backlight power that has not been completely turned off is transferred to the turned-on backlight part, and the backlight part of the open part is further improved. brightness. Not only is the partition control the backlight on and off, but it can also increase the brightness of the backlight in the open part, which further enhances the contrast level of brightness and darkness. This shows that such excellent performance is still active.
Local multimedia test
Local multimedia playback is the most basic and most demanding feature of smart TVs, and it is most needed to be protected. High-definition decoding capabilities rely on powerful configuration and excellent system optimization. The author uses a 32G USB 3.0 USB flash drive to ensure sufficient transmission speed and test the Sharp LCD-80XU35A. First test the video file. The format supported by the Sharp LCD-80XU35A covers the current popular formats, including AVI, FLV/F4V, WMV/ASF, 3GP/3G2/3GPP, MP4/M4VMPEG/MPG/DAT/VOB/EVO/ VOB, TS/M2TS, MKV/WEBM, MOV, etc.
Through the actual test, Sharp's LCD-80XU35A video decoding capabilities and playback capabilities are very satisfying, a variety of formats in the video playback process, have a very good fluency, high-speed images did not appear to smear The remote controller's manipulation of the video is also straightforward. There is no slight delay. It also solved the video resource of H.265, and the biggest advantage of H.265 is that it can transmit higher quality network video under limited bandwidth, and only need the original half bandwidth to play the same quality video. With its excellent image processing engine and high dynamic contrast, it not only achieved smoothness in video playback, but also achieved a very good picture. There was a feeling of watching a movie in a movie theater.
Sharp LCD-80XU35A passed the DTS 2.0 certification, Dolby Digital Plus sound effects, coupled with its 3D surround sound technology, so that low-frequency thick and full of sense of weight, rich and medium-frequency rich, high-frequency stability is not clear virtual. Listening to music and watching movies sounds very layered, allowing users to be on the scene. The excellent sound quality can not be separated from the effect of its bottom acrylic acrylic panel. The pronunciation part of the TV comes from the bottom of the TV. The spreading and diffusion of the acrylic curved panel make the sound transmission more three-dimensional.

System and Application
Sharp LCD-80XU35A equipped with Android 4.4.3 smart TV operating system. The UI is concise and clear, and the hierarchical design is very straightforward. The main screen menu has only three pages. The middle page is BesTV Broadcasting and Control Platform, which is rich in content resources and clearly categorized; the left one is the source content of digital TV, analog TV, HDMI and other different video source ports; the right page is local video, music, applications and settings. Users can easily find what they want with the remote control sliding left and right, regardless of the elderly and children can quickly get started.
This piece of video resources is mainly BesTV. The resources involved are updated quickly and there are more large films. There is also a large area of ​​Hollywood movies. The author watched several movies, and most of them have high-definition resources. There is a section that needs to be paid for viewing.
BesTV also provides real-time information and live broadcasts - live facts, and the latest hot news. Through network intervention, it is faster and faster than traditional media television.
Sports and games information is also very comprehensive. Sports is integrated with the live broadcasting and review of many large-scale events such as Premier League, China Super League and NBA. The square dance that is loved by middle-aged and old people also provides a lot of teaching content. The game video mainly includes exciting reviews of major game events and live games in the game hall.
It is worth mentioning that not only the common categories such as film, animation, music, and sports, Sharp LCD-80XU35A also provides a 3D cinema platform, but also a lot of 3D movies, just with a pair of 3D eyes, you can Enjoy a cinematic feel at home.
When it comes to applications, I have to raise a doubt that such a high-definition television will not be a struggle to run games. In actual fact, the author installed several casual games in the application store, can run smoothly, and is not a zoom up version of 1080P, most of them are debugging and optimization for 8K definition, the screen is exquisite, play the game It is also a kind of visual enjoyment!
The Android 4.4.3 operating system has also made a lot of contributions to the smooth operation of the TV. Compared to those TVs that still stay on Android 4.0, they must be sincere. The setting interface of the TV is also left and right hierarchical, simple and clear. You can set the theme and wallpaper for the TV just like on a mobile phone. You can also find Sharp LCD-80XU35A unique technology in the image setting interface, such as four-color technology, color technology, color gamut, MPD technology, backlight, these high-end games It is definitely not visible on ordinary television.
Summary: As a large-screen high-resolution TV, I think what we are most worried about is how the TV's content experience is. The author tried one afternoon and was very satisfied with the operation and content resources of this TV. Basically, the video I wanted to see could be found. There were many specific targeted contents that met the needs of different groups of people. demand. Sharp LCD-80XU35A plus the precise control of the picture, so that each piece has its own flavor.
The "Air Rat" remote control
Attentive friends may find that some of the TV pictures shot in the previous text have a round pointer like a mouse pattern. This is the biggest feature of Sharp's LCD-80XU35A, which can be used as a somatosensory manipulator to wave your hands in the air to control the pointer on the TV screen.
After I just tried to play, I couldn't put it down. Swipe left and right on the remote control's four-way operation keys to switch between the three pages under the home screen. When the “Empty Rat†swing does not feel very precise, you can also let the pointer stay nearby and use the physical buttons to operate precisely. Under the application store's game directory, there is also an "air rat" game designed specifically for this remote control. This is simply a remote control that incorporates buttons, touches, and gestures.
"The history of Sharp TV is the history of high quality progress." This is not an exaggeration. Recalling the history of the development of LCD TVs, it is always a new stage with the evolution of the definition. Last year, LCD TV entered the era of 4K ultra-clear era, when Sharp launched the 8K-definition TV, pushing the definition to a higher level. However, in addition to high-definition standards, high-definition standards should have excellent performance in color gamut, contrast, brightness uniformity, and image processing engines. Today's Sharp LCD-80XU35A seems to take all these aspects into its pocket. Focus on the quality of the TV itself, let the visual return to the origin, this will be the user's respect and pursuit.
