sharp 10-bit lcd panel free sample

The SVII-KIT has been discontinued as of February 2009 and has been replaced with the SVII-PRO-KIT. All LCD3090W-BK-SV (LCD3090WQXi SpectraView bundle), LCD2490W2-BK-SV (LCD2490WUXi2 SpectraView bundle), LCD2690W2-BK-SV (LCD2690WUXi2 SpectraView bundle), P221W-BK-SV (P221W SpectraView bundle) include the new SVII-PRO-KIT with the new MDSVSENSOR2. Other bundle models created before February 2009 may include the SVII-KIT, but all bundle models created after this date include the new SVII-PRO-KIT.

The -SV series are the bundles of a display monitor with the SVII-PRO-KIT (color sensor and SpectraViewII software). The naming consists of the monitor model name (LCD2690W2 is an LCD2690WUXi2), followed by "-BK" to indicate the color is black (for models available in colors other than black). Lastly the "-SV" indicates it is the SpectraViewII series bundle.

Why are the Spyder color sensors not recommended for use with wide color gamut displays such as the LCD2690WUXi, LCD2690WUXi2, LCD3090WQXi, P221W, PA241W, PA271W and PA301W models?

Drivers for all sensors are available on the SpectraViewII CD-ROM or in the \Program Files\Sharp NEC Display Solutions\SpectraViewII\Drivers folder after installing SpectraView (on 64 bit versions of Windows the folder location is \Program Files (x86)\Sharp NEC Display Solutions\SpectraViewII\Drivers).

The LCD panels used in the SpectraView displays have excellent color linearity characteristics and can be characterized using the much simpler shaper/matrix profiles. accurate 3D LUT profiles require a minimum of around one hundred measurements (and up to several hundred) to generate the necessary data and offer very little advantage despite the large increase in measurement time. additionally there are some compatibility issues with various software applications when using 3D LUT type display profiles.

The new SVII-PRO-KIT includes the MDSVSENSOR2, an NEC branded X-Rite iOne Display V2 color sensor that is custom calibrated for increased measurement accuracy with our wide color gamut displays such as the LCD2690WUXi, LCD2690WUXi2, LCD3090WQXi, and P221W. It is backward-compatible with standard color gamut displays. The SVII-KIT included an NEC branded X-Rite iOne Display V2 but did not have any custom calibration.

LCD monitors struggle with color and speed. Color on an LCD has three layers of colored dots that make up the final pixel. To display a color, a current is applied to each color layer to generate the desired intensity that results in the final color. The problem is that to get the colors, the current must move the crystals on and off to the desired intensity levels. This transition from the on-to-off state is called the response time. For most screens, it rates around 8 to 12 milliseconds.

The problem with response time becomes apparent when LCD monitors display motion or video. With a high response time for transitions from off-to-on states, pixels that should have transitioned to the new color levels trail the signal and result in an effect called motion blurring. This phenomenon isn"t an issue if the monitor displays applications such as productivity software. However, with high-speed video and certain video games, it can be jarring.

Color depth was previously referred to by the total number of colors that the screen can render. When referring to LCD panels, the number of levels that each color can render is used instead.

High-speed LCD monitors typically reduce the number of bits for each color to 6 instead of the standard 8. This 6-bit color generates fewer colors than 8-bit, as we see when we do the math:

There is another level of display that is used by professionals called a 10-bit display. In theory, it displays more than a billion colors, more than the human eye discerns.

Even though the graphics card renders upwards of a billion colors, the display"s color gamut—or range of colors it can display—is considerably less. Even the ultra-wide color gamut displays that support 10-bit color cannot render all the colors.

Professional displays often tout 10-bit color support. Once again, you have to look at the real color gamut of these displays. Most consumer displays don"t say how many they use. Instead, they tend to list the number of colors they support.

The amount of color matters to those that do professional work on graphics. For these people, the amount of color that displays on the screen is significant. The average consumer won"t need this level of color representation by their monitor. As a result, it probably doesn"t matter. People using their displays for video games or watching videos will likely not care about the number of colors rendered by the LCD but by the speed at which it can be displayed. As a result, it is best to determine your needs and base your purchase on those criteria.

The V-LCD651STX-3GSDI offers a durable and lightweight design, weighing in at only 1.3 pounds. It also features our completely digital TFT-MegaPixel high resolution LCD screen with 2.4 million pixels, 4-pin XLR power jack, and optical-grade polycarbonate screen protection. Analog signals are digitized using advanced 10-bit processing with 4x oversampling and adaptive 5-line comb filter.

Marshall Electronics offers a full line of Super Transflective Outdoor Monitors, designed specifically for outdoor applications with high ambient light. Our technology minimizes surface reflection of both outdoor and indoor light, while featuring a much wider color reproduction range than typical transflective/reflective LCDs or even those with increased backlight performance.

These outdoor super-transmissive LCDs provide improved visibility by producing high-contrast images and a wider viewing angle, even under diverse and challenging lighting environments! This innovative technology dramatically boosts the efficiency of the LCD backlight"s light utilization, while maintaining extended temperature ratings and low power consumption for outdoor operation.

The Peaking Filter is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. When activated, all color will be removed from the display and a black-and-white image will remain. The internal processor will display RED color on the screen where sharp edges appear. When the camera operator adjusts (or "racks") the focus control (on the camera lens), different parts of the image will have RED colored edges. This indicates that this portion of the image is sharp or in focus. Final focus is achieved by racking the camera lens focus control back and forth until the desired portion of the image has RED colored edges. Please note that this feature is most effective when the subject is properly exposed and contains enough contrast to be processed.

The only TV-tech buzzword with any legs to it in 2014 was 4K, aka Ultra HDTV. So a TV manufacturer without new 4K-resolution product had better start thinking about packing it in. Sharp previewed a pair of UD27 series Ultra HDTVs last June, and the company finally squeezed out those models just in time for the holiday shopping season. What do the new 60- and 70-inch Sharps have to recommend them over other, similarly priced offerings? Let’s check things out.

Sharp’s UD27 series is 4K THX Certified. This means it has, in Sharp’s own words, “passed more than 400 rigorous tests, meeting the highest standards in picture performance.” Also, its THX 4K Movie Mode preset “delivers the best possible pre-calibrated video setting according to tests and measurements performed in THX labs for viewing Ultra HD and upconverted movies right out of the box.”

UD27 TVs feature a native 120-hertz, 10-bit display panel (which remains of questionable value in today’s absence of 10-bit content) and an edge-lit LED backlight. There’s no hardware-based local dimming; instead, sources up to 1080p res benefit from Aquo-

Dimming, Sharp’s pixel-based contrast-enhancement processing. (AquoDimming isn’t available for Ultra HD input sources.) Sharp also touts something called Spectros Rich Color Display for the UD27 series, which enables the set to come close to matching the DCI color standard, a wider color gamut than is currently used for 1080p. Here again, there are no available video sources encoded in DCI Standard color at present, nor any clear guarantee today that the television’s input will recognize such content, so any such extended color space can be considered overkill on a TV for now.

Along with providing Ultra HD resolution, any new high-end TV these days needs to be smart. Sharp’s own spin on smart TV is called SmartCentral 3.0. This provides a Smart Guide with content search capability, along with Miracast for wireless screen mirroring of content from tablets, smartphones, and laptops. Compared with the sophisticated interactive GUIs found on TVs from LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Vizio, and perhaps others, Sharp’s smart offerings are, frankly, unimpressive. At least you get 4K Netflix streaming capabilities, along with a cool, eco-friendly feature called Wallpaper mode that lets you run image slideshows from an attached USB drive or pre-installed image bank when the set is powered off. Any photo over 8 megapixels in size will be displayed at full Ultra HD resolution.

Sharp’s remote control is serviceable, though it’s loaded with small buttons and lacks a backlit keypad. The good news: It’s got a big red button that sends you directly to Netflix. Sharp also offers a remote control app for smartphones and tablets. I had difficulty getting this to work, however, and I could find no documentation to guide me—onscreen, in print, or anywhere else.

I made picture adjustments to the LC-60UD27U in its THX Movie mode with Dark Room setup selected. The advanced settings available in that mode include 2- and 10-point color temperature calibration, a full color management system (with Hue, Saturation, and Value adjustments), and multiple gamma presets. Additional settings include a Resolution menu for fine detail adjustment, Motion Enhancement (with Sharp’s AquoMotion 480 backlight scanning), and the AquoDimming pixel-based contrast enhancement.

At the default THX Movie mode/Dark Room settings, the Sharp’s gray scale had a distinct bluish bias, though color points and gamma measured reasonably close to the desired targets. Although Aquo-

Dimming processing couldn’t be applied to 4K signals, it did serve to double the Sharp’s otherwise below-average contrast and black-level performance for 1080p sources. Edge enhancement and ringing proved to be issues at the default THX settings, though their effects could be minimized by reducing the Detail adjustment slider in the Resolution menu to zero.

Next, I moved on to even darker content. With Joe, a recent Blu-ray release starring Nicolas Cage as a work crew supervisor in the Deep South who has trouble keeping himself out of jail, I began to be less impressed with the Sharp’s performance. This film is a Southern Gothic in the best sense of the genre, with blood rivalries and squalor,

Off-axis viewing was typical for an LCD display, with picture contrast fading when I moved about 20 degrees off from a center seat. Multipixel Drive, a feature meant to provide a wider viewing angle, helped to improve things somewhat, though the results weren’t as good as what you’d get with an In-plane Switching (IPS) LCD panel. (Or a plasma TV, for that matter!) The Sharp’s screen has a glossy coating, but screen glare was less of an issue than what I’ve seen with other sets when viewing in a bright room.

so at a price that’s affordable compared with that of 60-inch UHDTV offerings from other manufacturers. Where Sharp’s set comes up short is in its lackluster contrast ratio and picture uniformity; I had trouble getting through a movie without seeing numerous spotlight effects. And then there are the smart GUI and streaming options, both of which come up short compared with those of other leading UHDTV brands in this price range. So is the LC-60UD27U worth a look? Yes, but I’d advise making a careful survey of its competition before taking the jump.

The Sharp 8M-b80AX1u 80" Class (80.5" Diagonal) 8K Ultra-HD LCD Display is the second generation of professional 8K displays from Sharp. At the very leading edge of the pro-display market, it allows high-end professional users to enjoy the ultimate in image precision and clarity. Its 8K 7,680 x 4,320 screen provides an exponential step up in terms of image detail with 16x the pixel resolution of Full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 (or 4x the pixel resolution of 4K 3,840 x 2,160).

Rather than simply upscaling content, like other 8K displays, it is a key component of Sharp’s end-to-end 8K ecosystem. Displaying native 8K content dramatically improves the picture quality, providing lifelike images. So it raises the bar significantly for business environments that depend on exceptional detail, such as design studios, TV broadcasters, and traffic control rooms.

As well as providing twice the brightness of first-generation Sharp professional 8K displays, with 800 cd/m² (or up to 4,000 cd/m² Peak Level), the 8M-b80AX1u HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology also expands the contrast and color range significantly. It means that the bright parts of an image get brighter, adding greater depth, and colors are more saturated and natural-looking. So images, films, and virtual reality (VR) content look incredibly realistic, creating a more immersive experience than was ever possible before.

The 8M-b80AX1u’s 10-Bit Extended Color Range delivers superior image realism and significantly enhanced color accuracy. It increases the range of possible color values in each pixel up to 1.07 billion colors, so images appear much more lifelike and natural. This is especially important in many manufacturing processes. For example, when designing and testing how products will look to the consumer using virtual reality, or in automotive and aerospace design when matching colors of different body panel sections. It also offers real benefits for the forensic examination of very high-resolution images, such as ancient artifacts for museum exhibits, and surveillance at large sporting events to identify individuals by their clothing.

In addition, with more than 5x more local dimming backlight zones and a much greater number of LEDs, it enables a much greater contrast level between dark and bright areas, so images are clearer and sharper. Unlike some other displays, it enables more precise control of production processes and greater realism when creating complex designs. It also provides vital extra clarity and legibility in time and information critical environments. For example, non-patient medical applications such as teaching.

The 8M-b80AX1u 8K display’s superior image realism, with clear colors and sharper definition, delivers significant benefits in some of the world’s most data-intensive business environments.

Its 80" Class (80.5" diagonal) 8K LCD panel makes it possible to display up to 16x Full-HD 1,920x1,080 images on one screen, but even fine text and images are still crystal clear. Especially as it has:

Sharp has the vision to change the way the world is viewed, with a level of detail and realism never previously experienced. We’re developing a full 8K ecosystem with a line-up of 8K solutions that will allow you to shoot, store and play all on native 8K equipment and displays.

The Sharp 8C-B60A 8K (60p) Professional Camcorder integrates capabilities for video shooting and recording, as well as playback. It also delivers line output for video streaming in 8K regardless of location. Sharp has also unveiled a compact 8K camera for future release.

So, with Sharp’s support, you will be able to create your own stunning 8K images and video content, which can be easily displayed to maximum effect on the 8M-b80AX1u 8K display.
