sharp lcd panel reviews in stock

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.

When I visited Japan right before the world fell apart, I was quite surprised to see a brand quite prominently featured everywhere in display booths. Technology company Sharp, has not been a major player in the smartphone market outside of Japan for many years now, but if you were in Japan, you might not have been aware of this. In a scene that cannot be replicated in the United States, I actually saw people using Sharp smartphones on the train! Imagine my excitement as I’ve actually been a fan of their phone products dating back to the S2 line. They make surprisingly well built and enjoyable mid-ranged devices. This phone is the Sharp Aquos Sense 4 Plus and I’ve been using this mid-ranger as my daily driver. I believe this phone is actually a better option than a lot of Sharp’s bigger named competitors and it is a travesty that all of it is ruined by one big thing.

For $358, we’re getting a Snapdragon 720G processor with 8 GB of Ram and 128 GB of storage. From a price standpoint, that’s pretty on par with market standards in 2021. What makes the phone standout to me is the build quality of the Aquos. Crafted from a combination of glass and an aluminum frame, this phone feels like a step up from something like the OnePlus N10. The smooth back is a beauty to the eyes utilizing a gradient mixture that I find very attractive. I often waver between my feelings for gradient designs on smartphones. Some of them look quite tacky while others reflect the light rather beautifully. The Sharp Aquos Sense 4 does it the best in my opinion. It’s subtle to the point where from a distance you might not be able to tell it was gradient shaded, yet up close, it adds an aesthetic premium flair. I dig it.

As far as performance goes, Sharp ships this phone with Android 10. However, a month into my review period I received the Android 11 update. It essentially runs off a clean stock experience with some software convenience tweaks. Of all the little quirks included on the phone (which I demoed in the unboxing video), the auto scrolling feature is the one I use the most. It’s not force fed to you and you can decide what benefits these additional software features can provide. All in all, I like how Sharp presents Android and that pushes through to the operation of the phone. The Snapdragon 720G is by no means a top performer in the segment, yet it’s also powering some devices that provide immense value from brands like Redmi and Realme. At this price point, the Aquos Sense 4 Plus performed exactly as I’d expect. I’m able to play all of my mobile games to the satisfaction I’m used to. The navigation of apps and web pages flow seamlessly without lag. The animation for transitions are smooth and add to the overall experience rather than detract from it.

I’m also very happy viewing the large 6.7 inch IGZO LCD display. It’s a 1080x2400p display with 393 ppi. Because of the implementation of IGZO to the display, the colors are quite satisfying to look at. They’re saturated accurately and the experience overall is just very vibrant. I believe this is also what contributes to the excellent longevity of the battery. A native 90 Hz refresh rate is supported and pushed up to 120 Hz for touch sampling. It’s more commonplace nowadays to get these higher than 60 Hz refresh rates on mid-ranged devices, so it’s nice future proofing for buyers to get that here.

I’m not much of a mobile photographer, so my camera app isn’t open daily. For someone like me, I can appreciate what the Sharp Aquos Sense 4 Plus does well more than I am dissatisfied with what it does horribly. However, I cannot deny that smartphone photography is a must-have for a majority of smartphone users as that is their main shooter. It is absolutely unacceptable to have such a deterring camera experience on an otherwise terrific phone from a company that I actually feel like produces quality products people underrate.

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.

Last year Sharp made a splash with ads featuring Star Trek"s Mr. Sulu--George Takei--comically extolling the virtues of a technology called Quattron. With the memorable "Oh, myyy" tagline, the spots attempted to convince TV buyers that the technology, which adds a fourth yellow subpixel to the standard array of red, green, and blue, improved color fidelity. we never reviewed one of those 2010 TVs, but after spending some time with the 2011 version, represented by the LC-LE830U series, we"re a bit less impressed than Sulu was.

The Sharp LC-LE830U has a picture with relatively accurate color in bright areas, good video processing, and the ability to handle bright rooms well. Its feature set offers excellent help and support options, built-in Wi-Fi, and a remote with three programmable keys to easily access favorite apps. It"s also quite compact and energy-efficient.

If you calibrate the LC-LE830U series properly--something we do with every TV we review--the yellow pixel has no major impact, positive or negative, on picture quality. What will have a negative impact for critical viewers are the set"s lighter black levels and subpar screen uniformity. We appreciate some aspects of its performance, as well as a feature set with Wi-Fi and best-in-class product support, but in the end the LC-LE830U does little to stand above the tough competition in the edge-lit LED-based LCD TV category.

Series information: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 60-inch Sharp LC-60LE830U, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality. Most of the picture quality comments can also be applied to the LC-60LE832U, which is identical except for having a 240Hz refresh rate instead of the 830U"s 120Hz.

While admirably compact with its thin bezel and panel, the LC-LE830U looks a bit generic. Its design consists of rounded corners, a glossy black frame, and a silvery bar below the frame on the bottom edge. One accent is provided by an illuminated ^ directly below the Sharp logo--it reminded us of the Star Trek insignia--that can be set to turn on or off depending on the TV"s own power-on state.

Thinner and longer than most clickers, Sharp"s wand is plagued by lack of backlight and insufficient differentiation between the mostly too-small keys. One great feature, however, is the trio of programmable buttons that provide instant access to your favorite apps.

Sharp"s 2011 menu system had been redesigned to appear above and the right of the live image. Unfortunately for calibrators, the menu design can interfere more than normal with center-screen measurements, making setup more tedious than it needs to be. On the plus side, the menus are clear and respond quickly, and we appreciated the full manual--a carbon copy of the PDF version, complete with table of contents--available in the Aquos Advantage help section along with a glossary and FAQ.

Sharp"s main differentiating feature is Quattron, a proprietary modification of the panel design used by nearly all LCDs (both LED-based and otherwise), plasmas, monitors, projectors, smartphones, and so on. All 1080p TVs have 1,920x1,080 pixels, which are typically composed of three subpixels, one each for red, green and blue, that combine to form color. Quattron adds a fourth subpixel, yellow. You can check out our from 2010 for more information on the technology, which is largely unchanged this year, and the Performance section of this review for detailed tests.

Beyond that the LC-LE830U is outfitted like a typical LED-based LCD, with an edge-lit LED backlight and 120Hz refresh rate. 3D is available on the company"s step-up LC-LE835U series. One feature the LC-830U has over step-down models like the LC-LE831U series is Quad Pixel Plus, another Quattron-derived mode said to improve apparent resolution and smooth diagonal lines.

A couple of other extras are unique to Sharp. IP control is designed to interface with custom installation remote control systems, such as Control 4, AMX and Crestron, that can operate over Ethernet as opposed to RS-232. Aquos Advantage Live is Sharp"s excellent live help feature, which we .

Like most other TV makers Sharp improved its Internet suite significantly for 2011. The main Apps menu appears as a strip overlaid along the bottom of the screen, and in addition to the streaming options it provides a shortcut to Aquos Net (with widgets like news, weather, photos and traffic) Aquos Advantage Live and USB and DLNA access.

Compared to the 2011 suites from Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, Sharp"s is a step behind in terms of streaming content offerings (Amazon Instant and YouTube are the missing links) and design--although Sharp does get the newer Netflix interface with search and a browsing grid. The addition of Vudu Apps makes up for a lot, but unfortunately it resides in a completely separate interface with many apps (Twitter and Picasa, for example) that duplicate ones found in Aquos Net.

In Sharp"s favor, we liked having a traffic widget--still uncommon among TVs and a boon to commuters--and appreciated the quick response times throughout. Compared to Vudu Apps, however, the main Aquos Net apps seems like a poorly executed afterthought.

The LC-LE830U isn"t missing any major adjustments. We"d appreciate the ability to tweak dejudder beyond the two presets, but we"ll take a color management system, especially one that works as well as Sharp"s, over that extra any day. We like that the OPC ambient light sensor is prominently displayed in the main picture menu, and that Netflix and Vudu allow full picture control.

There"s nothing major missing from the Sharp"s bay, and we appreciated not having to use breakout cables, as is the case on many thin LCDs and plasmas these days.

The Sharp LC-LE830U series wasn"t among the better edge-lit LED-based LCDs we tested this year, but you can"t blame the extra yellow pixel for that. Instead, fault lies with its lighter black levels and uneven screen uniformity, as well as extremely blue tinge near black. We appreciated its solid video processing, however, and color accuracy in bright areas after calibration was very good to excellent.

The Movie setting of the LC-LE830U is the most accurate out of the box, but it was still a bit subpar compared to the competition, with a minus-blue grayscale and quite a bit brighter than we"d like to see. Also, Movie"s default color gamut is Expanded, which Sharp tells us is designed to show off the effects of the extra yellow pixel. In Expanded green and yellow color points are quite a bit outside the HD color standard, which is typical of such modes on other TVs.

Thanks to Sharp"s excellent color management system, our calibration was able to bring those color points back into line and get generally excellent results, although the grayscale was still a bit off, especially in the middle range, and there was little we could do to help the blue-tinged lower end.

The Sharp"s worst aspect in this category was an overwhelming blue tinge in black and near-dark areas. The effect is common among LED-based LCDs, but for whatever reason much more noticeable on the LC-LE830U than on any of the other sets in our lineup. .

The Motion Enhancement control affects motion resolution and we saw no detriment to leaving it in the High setting, which hit about 600 lines, as opposed to Off, which measured between 300 and 400. Engaging this setting to maximize motion resolution didn"t introduce dejudder, so we could leave it on and still get true film cadence without smoothing--a rarity among non-Samsung LCDs. As usual it was nearly impossible to discern blurring in any mode with normal program material.

Sharp says its Quad Pixel Plus can use the extra yellow subpixel to smooth diagonal lines slightly, but to our eye it was impossible to discern any difference between the On and Off positions from a normal seating distance. .

We were curious whether the big-screen Sharp LCD would show the same kind of smearing we saw on the Vizio XVT3D650SV, but checking the same scenes we didn"t see it nearly as badly. .

Uniformity: The screen on the LC-LE830U was, along with that of the Vizio XVT3D650SV, among the worst in our lineup at showing even brightness across its surface. Perhaps other Sharp samples, or smaller sizes in the series, will be better, but our manufacturer-supplied 60-incher was poor.

Update June 21, 2011: Since this review published Sharp visited CNET and showed us a different LC-60LE830U sample that had somewhat better screen uniformity, although the edges and corners were still brighter compared to the middle. As usual these issues can vary from sample to sample, so the improved uniformity of a second manufacturer-supplied sample will not otherwise alter this review.

From off-angle the Sharp lost black level and color fidelity (becoming bluer-tinged) at about the same rate as the Samsung and Sony, and kept black level (but not color) marginally better than the LG and Vizios.

Bright lighting: The matte finish on the screen of the Sharp really helped in bright lighting situations, reducing the brightness of reflections in a way that was especially appreciable on the large screen. There was some small sacrifice in black levels compared to glossier screens like the Samsung and Vizio XVT3D650SV, but for bright rooms matte is clearly superior in our book.

PC: (updated June 21, 2011) The Sharp accepted and displayed a 1,920x1,080-pixel analog VGA source with no problem and delivered full resolution, with no softness and only minor edge enhancement, once we used the auto synch function. Our original report mentioned softness and imperfect resolution, but that was because we mistakenly failed to use auto synch.

Power consumption: We did not test the power consumption of this size in the Sharp LC-LE830U series, but we did test the 60-inch model. For more information, refer to the .

Apple has made clear its intent to support ultra high-resolution displays with the latest Mac and OS X products, but without a 4K display of its own (yet) the company sells only one UHD monitor as a go-along with its flagship Mac Pro: Sharp"s PN-K321.

From resolution to color gamut, these ultra high-definition monitors — specifically the 32-inch Sharp PN-K321 — offer specs far surpassing those of mass produced displays, and for that you pay a premium. They are tools, not consumption devices.

Being a monitor targeted at professionals, the Sharp puts function over form. This is not to say the display is ugly, but its unassuming exterior design and no-frills construction may make it less appealing to the average user accustomed to flashing lights and glossy screens.

Where a Dell or Samsung product would have bright front-facing LEDs or a polished bezel, the PN-K321 makes do with matte finishes and a muted color palette. The bezel is neither ultra-slim, nor is it unduly thick, but just the right width to adequately provide support for the 4K panel below.

For those users who prefer portrait orientation, the Sharp can be mounted upright by removing four hex screws on the back of the unit. The setup is more permanent than other products as there is no way to easily switch between landscape and portrait, though we don"t imagine many users will need to do so with such a large screen.

An official number for panel life expectancy is not published, but because it is a professional product, Sharp tells us lifetime is one step below tolerance for a 24/7 duty cycle. Basically, it is more likely that a new resolution standard will be adopted before the monitor needs replacing.

For anyone who hasn"t seen a 4K monitor in action, the Sharp is quite the spectacle. Even for pros accustomed to working with super high resolutions, this display is special and what we would consider best in class.

Sharp was the first manufacturer to successfully roll out efficient indium, gallium, zinc-oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistor technology, which lets more light generated from the LED backlight to pass through the LCD and onto the user. Combined with bright, even edge-lit backlighting and a matte LCD panel, the IGZO PN-K321 offers startling results.

We can"t help but imagine what a full-array backlight with local-dimming would do for color consistency and brightness, though adding such components would no doubt increase thickness, thermal levels and power requirements. As it stands, the IGZO panel, manufactured by Sharp"s Seibi factory in China, grossly outperforms the competition.

Product specifications claim an output of 350 candelas per square meter (cd/m2) and a contrast ratio of 800:1. Compared to other high-density screens we"ve seen (and even some 1080p monitors) the Sharp is noticeably brighter and can easily be viewed even in sunlit rooms.

Perhaps more important than sheer brightness, Sharp did a great job in enhancing backlight transmission without degrading color accuracy, something that has been troublesome for other brands. Without the correct color saturation — and a wide color gamut — a bright display is not even worth looking at for most professional applications.

We ran the usual battery of tests when trying out the Sharp, connected to the all-new redesigned Mac Pro and late-2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display.

As for apps themselves, Final Cut Pro X and Photoshop are joys to use at high resolution. As expected, working with native 4K footage on the Sharp is significantly better than lower resolution displays. Intricate details and flaws are easy to spot, while the huge pixel count offers a large easel on which to work.

Put simply, if you"re in the market for a 4K monitor, Sharp"s PN-K321 is the one to get. Even Apple chose the display to showcase the new Mac Pro"s abilities in its retail locations and is the only 4K display option to "add to cart" when purchasing the new pro-level desktop from the Online Apple Store.

While we did not experiment with older Macs, the PN-K321 takes a powerful graphics card to drive. As noted by Apple, only the new Mac Pro and late-2013 Retina MacBook Pro can officially handle 4K output. As with many cutting-edge products, the display is not built to be an all-around general purpose device and is unlikely to work perfectly with older software and hardware. If you do have the right equipment and suite of professional software, however, Sharp"s monitor is highly recommended.

Overall, after spending some quality time with the PN-K321, we came away with the impression that Sharp"s pro A/V team poured a majority its R&D money into panel tech rather than creature comforts; in bleeding edge display technology, not modern design. Whereas other brands cobble together parts from various manufacturers, Sharp tells us the technology in the PN-K321 — from the IGZO chip to the LCD array — was developed entirely in-house. And we are more than OK with the results.

As a side note, Sharp has just announced a touch-enabled version of the PN-K321, dubbed the PN-K322B, that we are told is shipping out to distribution channels. With an edge-to-edge glass design and funcitonal rocker/slider stand, the multitouch version looks to have a lot of potential. Pricing is set at $4,675.

Sharp"s PN-K321 has a manufacturer"s suggested retail price of $3595 and it"s currently available at only a handful of select online electronics stores. As of press time, the lowest prices we could find were $2,990 from B&H Photo (tax-free outside of NY) and $3,088 from Amazon.com (tax-free outside AZ, CA, KS, KY, MA, NC, NJ, NY, ND, PA, TX, and WA.). It"s also available at MacMall for $3,079.99 (tax-free outside of CA, NY, IL, WI, MN, CO, TN, NC and GA).

The Adafruit 2.7" 400x240 SHARP Memory Display Breakout is a chonky cross between an eInk (e-paper) display and an LCD. It has the ultra-low power usage of eInk and the fast-refresh rates of an LCD.

This model has a gray background, and the pixels show up as black-on-gray for a nice e-reader type display. It does not have a backlight, but it is daylight readable. For dark/nighttime reading you may need to illuminate the LCD area with external LEDs.

Sharp Corporation ("Sharp") and Sony Corporation ("Sony") today announced that their joint venture relationship to produce and sell large-sized LCD panels and modules will terminate, and that Sony will sell its shares (representing 7.04% of the issued shares) in Sharp Display Products Corporation ("SDP") to SDP*. In consideration for the sale of shares, Sony will receive cash consideration equal to its original investment of 10 billion yen to be paid by SDP*. Both the sale of shares and the payment of cash consideration will be completed by the end of June 2012.

On July 1, 2009, Sharp transferred its LCD panel plant in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, to SDP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sharp. On December 29, 2009, Sony invested 10 billion yen into SDP in exchange for new shares issued by SDP to Sony (representing 7.04% of the issued shares of SDP) and, as a result, SDP became a joint venture company of Sharp and Sony as of the same date. In light of the rapidly changing market for LCD panels and LCD televisions, in March 2012 Sharp and Sony agreed to amend the original joint venture agreement to provide that Sony would not make additional capital injections in SDP. Based on this amendment, the companies agreed to study studied the future direction of the joint venture and other potential business relationships between the parties, including with respect to Sony"s interest in SDP.

* In the event SDP is not able to purchase or pay for those shares due to applicable legal restrictions on acquiring its own shares or for any other reason, Sharp will purchase those shares from Sony.

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.
