sharp lcd panel reviews for sale
Impressive picture performance characterized by good clarity and vibrant, rich color - is how I would introduce this Sharp LCD offering. This Sharp LCD runs warm as one of its only picture negatives. The major setting that needs toggling to correct the reddish appearance of flesh tones is the Color adjustment, which should be set at around -10 to give the viewer a more realistic picture especially in flesh tones. All other picture settings are better left alone as they render little change in result.
The second drawback of the unit is a motion trailer effect, which is prevalent in most LCD TVs. This is caused by a signal response time which Sharp claims is 15 milliseconds compared with a plasma display which has a signal response time of 7 milliseconds. On almost all LCD TVs fast motion scenes can display some trailer effect and that is true of this unit as well.
Viewing angle is a strong point of Sharp LCD TVs compared to other manufactures as the company is constantly striving to improve its LCD panel performance. Sharp is the dominant player in LCD manufacturing and many companies OEM the panel for their LCD display offerings from Sharp. For this reason Sharp is the leader, along with possibly Samsung in quality development in the LCD world. The three areas of major concern are contrast - which on this 20" unit appears solid, viewing angle - which I measure at about 60 degrees before loss of picture quality, and signal response time - which is improving but still lagging such technologies as plasma.
Sharp 20" LCDs are competitive but never strive to be the cheapest - believing their product to be superior. This unit can be found in the $1200 range and is a good buy at the price in today"s market.
I work in games and entertainment, and so I own and have owned several TVs, projectors, computers, VR headsets, etc. The Sharp Aquos tv is by far the worst television I"ve ever owned. Ever since I"ve owned the tv there has been very distracting brightness adjustments within any Amazon show I try to watch (that I cannot turn off even after turning off every "smart" gamma feature in the tv, and rebooting factory defaults). Then Amazon just stopped working altogether one day, and because it comes installed in the tv you don"t have the option to remove or reinstall it.
Furthermore, the experience with the customer care reps at Sharp and at Hisense, the manufacturer who would be in charge of any fixes has been like pulling teeth. I have had to relay the same information to multiple people via email and phone because they don"t keep track of their cases very well. Based on the service I"ve received thus far I have little to no hope of them fixing or replacing the tv, so I"ll probably end up just eating the cost and buying a new tv all together (a TCL, which womps Sharp in my experience). I will never again even consider a Sharp product, or a Google TV.Read full review

One of the reasons for choosing LCD sharp is easy to find and replace without a need for a new one. LCD 11 are commonly used by gorilla glass users (and new), and don ’ t have any worry at all with the best of experience.
LCDs are one of the most commonly tested materials for mechanics and comfort. However, lcdds are one of the most popular and cheap LCDs are a of the most sought-after models.
I worked for a Managed print services company servicing Sharp equipment. At the end of my career with the company they started selling the Aquos boards and I was the guy in charge of setup and demoing. The screen itself is very impressive with great clarity and incredible touch response especially on the multi touch models. When we address the computer attached I"m impressed with the selection, a decent amount of ram a solid state hard drive that boots windows near instantly and built in WIFI to truly make the sharp a mobile unit great for classrooms and office meetings when paired with the mobile stand. I will recommend the Sharp Aqous board to anyone that has a use for it and if the price comes down more on them I may have to buy one for my house.

Back in 2016, to determine if the TV panel lottery makes a significant difference, we bought three different sizes of the Samsung J6300 with panels from different manufacturers: a 50" (version DH02), a 55" (version TH01), and a 60" (version MS01). We then tested them with the same series of tests we use in all of our reviews to see if the differences were notable.
Our Samsung 50" J6300 is a DH02 version, which means the panel is made by AU Optronics. Our 55" has an original TH01 Samsung panel. The panel in our 60" was made by Sharp, and its version is MS01.
Upon testing, we found that each panel has a different contrast ratio. The 50" AUO (DH02) has the best contrast, at 4452:1, followed by the 60" Sharp (MS01) at 4015:1. The Samsung 55" panel had the lowest contrast of the three: 3707:1.
These results aren"t really surprising. All these LCD panels are VA panels, which usually means a contrast between 3000:1 and 5000:1. The Samsung panel was quite low in that range, leaving room for other panels to beat it.
The motion blur results are really interesting. The response time of the 55" TH01 Samsung panel is around double that of the Sharp and AUO panels. This is even consistent across all 12 transitions that we measured.
For our measurements, a difference in response time of 10 ms starts to be noticeable. All three are within this range, so the difference isn"t very noticeable to the naked eye, and the Samsung panel still performs better than most other TVs released around the same time.
We also got different input lag measurements on each panel. This has less to do with software, which is the same across each panel, and more to do with the different response times of the panels (as illustrated in the motion blur section). To measure input lag, we use the Leo Bodnar tool, which flashes a white square on the screen and measures the delay between the signal sent and the light sensor detecting white. Therefore, the tool"s input lag measurement includes the 0% to 100% response time of the pixel transition. If you look at the 0% to 100% transitions that we measured, you will see that the 55" takes about 10 ms longer to transition from black to white.
All three have bad viewing angles, as expected for VA panels. If you watch TV at an angle, most likely none of these TVs will satisfy you. The picture quality degrades at about 20 degrees from the side. The 60" Sharp panel is worse than the other ones though. In the video, you can see the right side degrading sooner than the other panels.
It"s unfortunate that manufacturers sometimes vary the source of their panels and that consumers don"t have a way of knowing which one they"re buying. Overall though, at least in the units we tested, the panel lottery isn"t something to worry about. While there are differences, the differences aren"t big and an original Samsung panel isn"t necessarily better than an outsourced one. It"s also fairly safe to say that the same can be said of other brands. All panels have minute variations, but most should perform within the margin of error for each model.
Sharp achieved record profits and sales for the third straight year in the financial year just ended on strong demand for its LCD televisions, cell phones and solar panels, the company said Wednesday.
Sharp was an early developer of LCD panel technology and the first major consumer electronics company to emphasize LCD TVs over CRT models. With sales of flat-panel TVs rising, the company is now reaping the benefits of these early moves.
The popularity of LCD televisions is helping Sharp in two ways. Sales of own-brand TVs were strong and helped its information and communication division achieve a 12% jump in sales, while sales of panels to other companies for use in their own TVs were also strong, up 16% on the year.
During the year, LCD TV sales hit 4 million units, said Hiroshi Saji, corporate senior executive vice president of Sharp, at a Tokyo news conference. Overseas sales were slightly more than those in Japan, at 2.1 million units, he said. For the current year, total sales are forecast to be 6 million units with overseas sales hitting 3.6 million units.
The global market for LCD TV was estimated to be 23.6 million units last fiscal year and to be 42 million units this year, according to Saji. Those figures and Sharp"s sales estimates mean the company expects to lose some market share in the coming year despite higher sales. Sharp aims to keep revenue growing by concentrating on large-size, high-price TV sets.
Business was also brisk at its other divisions with not a single of Sharp"s six major product divisions showing a decrease in sales during the year. A few sectors showed some weakness, however. For example, sales of PCs were down although the decrease was covered by a jump in sales of copier/printers.
The figures represent the third straight year of record sales and profits and Sharp expects the trend to continue. For the current financial year, which runs from April to March 2007, the company expects net profit to rise to ¥100 billion with net sales increasing to ¥3 trillion.
Sharp expects LCD panel sales to rise 14% to ¥980 billion and sales of LCD televisions to soar 34% to ¥550 billion. Together, the two LCD product sectors will be equivalent to about one half of all Sharp"s business, based on the forecast.
In the cell phone sector, which is Sharp"s third largest business, sales are expected to increase 6% to ¥470 billion, fueled by demand for new handsets, particularly TV models in Japan.
The Sharp Aquos PN-L703B 70" is an interactive touchscreen display system designed for smooth and effortless communication in a wide range of contexts. Their highly responsive touch pens allow several people to write on the same screen at the same time. The Sharp Display Connect software enables multifaceted wireless communication. Whether in the boardroom or the classroom, Sharp changes the way you communicate.Discussions and presentations become platforms for effective and lively exchanges of opinions with the Sharp PN-L703B Aquos.
If style"s your thing then Sharp"s got you covered. This strapping 60-inch screen dominates any room it sits in. The stand, a sturdy four-footed pedestal, holds the panel low to the tabletop. In a dark room, the panel practically floats—a subtle effect, but interesting nonetheless.
Head around back and you"ll come across an extensive collection of ports nestled into a backwards L-shaped indent in the panel. There"s the usual suspects: composite and component inputs, four HDMI and two USB ports, and both digital and analog audio jacks. There"s also a 3.5mm headphone jack, a VGA input, a coaxial connector, and an ethernet port. Thus equipped, the EQ10U stands poised and ready to take up the mantle as the central hub of your home-entertainment system.
Sharp"s newest iteration of the Smart Central platform aims to provide users with online and social content in an easy-to-navigate system. Generally speaking, it succeeds. Most of the essentials are accounted for: Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, a host of social media apps, and cable/satellite integration, as well. That"s right: When you search for a movie that happens to be both on Netflix and live TV, this smart platform will tell you as much.
The EQ10U also offers the delightful wallpaper mode from Sharp"s 2013 lineup; instead of powering off the TV, users can utilize a kind of sleep mode that portrays beautiful, matte-finish paintings. The transformation looks very welcoming in a living room setting, and serves as a great alternative to the otherwise dull black panel.
Overall, the Sharp EQ10U has its share of ups and downs to consider prior to purchase. I"ll go over the panel"s strengths and weaknesses to paint a picture of its performance, but users should expect excellent motion, healthy if underwhelming contrast, and flawed color accuracy. Let"s dig in.
The TV"s greens look unnaturally vivid, too, but luckily proper calibration goes a long way in correcting most of this panel"s color trouble. To learn about our calibration settings for the EQ10U, jump to the Science page.
Although this flaw is not uncommon for LED LCD TVs, the bummer factor in this case relates to the EQ10U"s massive size. A 60-inch panel practically demands a crowd, but most of those people won"t see the best possible picture due to off-angle seats.
By far the best aspect of the EQ10U"s performance is its motion handling. Thanks to a robust 120Hz refresh rate, objects in motion don"t suffer from the distracting "hiccup effect" present in many LCD televisions. Feel free to bask in the glory of a silky-smooth nature documentary, or to marvel at a football game untainted by distracting motion blur.
The Sharp LC-60EQ10U (MSRP $1,699) is an interesting case: It offers a massive panel, full-HD resolution, useful smart features, dynamite motion handling, and potentially great picture quality for a competitive price. I found this 60-inch bruiser online for $1,299 today!
This TV offers a massive panel, full-HD resolution, useful smart features, dynamite motion handling, and potentially great picture quality for a competitive price ... but the gulf between its pre- and post-calibration performance is substantial.
That said, the gulf between its pre- and post-calibration performance is substantial, and while it"s fairly priced for a 60-inch smart HDTV, competition still makes this Sharp a tricky sell. For a few hundred bucks less, the almost-as-big Sony KDL-55W800B offers better performance with minimal calibration—which saves you $40 per inch, and gets you better overall picture quality.
The Sharp Aquos LC60EQ10U (MSRP $1,699.99) is a frustrating television. All of the elements of a strong performance are attainable here, but very few of them are in place out-of-the-box.
Consumer 8K TVs have yet to take off despite being around for several years now. Cost and the lack of native 8K content have stifled the adoption, despite the efforts of TV makers. Sharp, which was the first manufacturer to show off an 8K TV back in 2013, launched its Aquos The Scene 8K TV (DW1X series) earlier this year. And after spending several weeks with the Sharp, I believe it"s still too early to get an 8K TV. Despite some progress on the content front, it"s just not worth it except maybe for bragging rights.
My 70-inch review set has a large table-top stand that takes up quite a bit of space. The TV is rather chunky at the back and runs fairly warm. There are four HDMI ports, two of which support the newer HDMI 2.1 standard. The built-in speakers pack a wallop, though the sound does get muddy at higher volumes. A good soundbar like the Sonos Beam is still recommended. I liked that Sharp has a full complement of buttons at the side to control the TV if the remote control dies or runs out of battery. This remote control supports voice commands via Google Assistant. More importantly, the DW1X runs Android TV, which has the widest range of apps, especially for streaming video. From Apple TV to Viu, you can find it on the Google Play Store. The interface itself feels reasonably snappy, thanks to a quad-core MediaTek chip.
At S$7,499 for the 70-inch model (and S$5,999 for the 60-inch), the Sharp Aquos The Scene 8K TV is not cheap. But that"s the going price for an 8K model, though you can probably negotiate it down slightly at the store. But the crux of the matter is that you"re paying a premium for 8K despite the relative lack of native content. I don"t see video streaming providers upping to 8K anytime soon, though analysts are more optimistic. And while the Sharp is a very good TV, you can get better visuals (if not resolution) for less with a 65-inch 4K OLED TV like the ones from LG or Sony. But if you are dead set on an 8K TV, pick the larger 70-inch version if you can to fully experience the higher resolution. You can get it on Amazon, Lazada and Shopee.

The company saw demand for flat-screen TVs drop in markets outside of Japan and was also pinched by price drops in the LCD panel market. Sharp sells LCD panels to competing TV makers for use in their sets and saw sales in this category drop by 31 percent compared to the same period in 2008, it said.
A net loss of ¥8.6 billion (US$95 million) was recorded for the period, but that"s an improvement on the ¥37.8 billion Sharp lost in the equivalent period a year earlier.
Demand for solar cells was strong and sales rose 10 percent due in part to Japanese government subsidies for the installation of solar panels and an increase in the price at which electricity companies must buy surplus solar energy from consumers. Sharp is aggressively expanding its solar business and in the nine-month period its importance to the company increased. Solar cell sales of ¥144 billion meant the business was worth 7.1 percent of overall sales, up from 5.7 percent in the year earlier.
The only other of Sharp"s six main business areas to see sales climb in the nine months was its health and environmental equipment division, which benefited from demand for air purifiers featuring Plasmacluster Ion technology.
The company doesn"t break out figures for the October to December period. Its nine-month results suggest sales of ¥735 billion during the quarter, according to calculations by IDG News Service. That"s unchanged from the same period in 2008. The same calculations indicate Sharp achieved a net profit of ¥9 billion in the final three months of 2009 against a ¥65 billion loss in the same period in 2008.
It was over a year ago that I visited Sharp Laboratories Europe, located near Oxford, where Sharp had developed its 3D-screened laptop the Actius RD3D. I got to take a look at this laptop on that day, as it made a rare visit to the UK: It has been launched in the US, but not in the UK. I also saw some Sharp mobile phones with 3D displays that were even then on sale in Japan.
It has taken a while for Sharp to bring its 3D technology to the UK, but the company has finally managed to do so with the LL-151-3D; a 15-inch monitor you can use in both 2D and 3D modes with any PC that has either digital or analogue video out capability. The big draw of the monitor, and of Sharp’s 3D technology in general, is that it gives you the 3D viewing experience without the need to wear special glasses.
As a standard 2D monitor the LL-151-3D is competent. It delivers a nice, sharp, clear image, and its settings options are easy to manipulate. A row of buttons on the front of the casing provide access to the various controls allowing you, for example, to alter the volume, change brightness and vary the red, green and blue ratios that affect the overall hue of what is delivered to the screen.
However the screen is very, very reflective. Initially I was working with a window to my left with the monitor to my right, but the reflection from the window was more than I could bear. I had to shift things so that there was no ambient light reflection – once the right environment had been achieved this monitor was able to show off its superbly sharp rendering.
Switching to 3D mode enables a barrier which sits between the backlight and the LCD and ensures different images are sent to the left and right eyes. Your eyes have to be in the right place to receive these two images, and when you are correctly in position for this to happen, your brain combines them into a single 3D image.
Of course, the 3D experience is not worth having if you don’t have software to take advantage of it. Sharp ships two applications to help. SmartStereo Photo Editor which formats pairs of digital images for viewing through the LL-151-3D, and SmartStereo Camera Calculator, designed for use with a stereoscopic camera to ensure production of images appropriate for the monitor.
When it comes to running third party software, this needs to be designed for use with the LL-151-3D: the monitor can’t convert 2D graphics on the fly. Sharp is a key member of the 3D Consortium and has partnered with a number of players to ensure that the software and hardware components come together. The best known of these is probably nVidia and the full list is available at Sharp’s US website.
Even with this effort, the number of real-world applications supporting the technology is relatively small: Sharp was only able to provide me with demos rather than full applications for testing purposes. The bottom line is that even if this monitor appeals, you could be waiting a while to take full advantage of what it has to offer.
