Sharp TV has been focusing on image quality. When domestic manufacturers play eco-hyun content, Sharp quietly launched 8K TV. Sharp 80XU35A is an 8K TV. When 4K is not yet popular, how does 8K TV perform? What exactly is this Sharp 80XU35A? Here we bring Sharp 80XU35A evaluation.
Sharp 80XU35A Evaluation Preface
Earlier we have been saying that 2015 is the first year of 4K smart TVs, as numerous brands have launched their new flagships this year. As one of the few brands with panel development and complete machine sales, Sharp launched Sharp 80 UD30A TV at the beginning of this year. At the time of the evaluation, we experienced the unparalleled picture quality and superb 2K to 4K performance of this TV.
It was learned a few days ago that Sharp will hold a new product briefing in Beijing on August 11 and see the huge 8K words on entering the conference room. It suddenly became clear that Sharp had already entered 8K when other people focused on surface or even quantum dots.
The surface is the most vocabulary to sing this year. The emergence of surface technology represents the consumer's pursuit of the family viewing experience. Simply put, the large-screen curved TV allows users who have close viewing to have a unique sense of presence and embracing. However, due to the fact that the backlight system cannot bend freely, the curved television suffers from poor light control performance, and the color accuracy is also relatively low. The other side of the point surface product prices are higher, currently only high-end users of the dish.
From the 80UD30A at the beginning of the year, it can be seen that Sharp still pays more attention to the quality of the screen itself in TV products. Sharp has its own ideas for curved surfaces, but in actual combat it does not rush to follow suit, but continues to dig deeper, such as dynamic contrast and The accuracy of the color of the picture.
Highlights of technical interpretation
Sharp's flagship 80XU35A launch marks the highest level and has the following technical features.
1, using a new LED backlight system, significantly improve color performance,
2, a new generation of four-color technology,
3, equipped with X8-MEP professional image processor engine,
4, equipped with new color technology
5, 8K definition
First of all, Sharp does not choose quantum dot technology on LED backlights. Instead, it adopts a new type of LED backlight module to increase the maximum color gamut of the panel. The principle and quantum dots are essentially the same. Domestic counterparts are similar. The solution, but Sharp announced 80XU35A's new wide color gamut technology is the best in the history of Sharp AQUOS TV.
About four-color technology, in fact, editing is more offensive, because LG's 4-color panel technology is based on RGB added a white pixel, although the screen brightness increased a lot, but because white pixels do not directly participate in the screen composition, So this kind of 4-color panel fineness is not as good as RGB panel. Sharp's 4-color technology is different from LG's RGBW solution. Sharp's solution is to add yellow sub-pixels on the basis of RGB, and drive the upper and lower parts of each sub-pixel to implement 8K high-definition image display.
Sharpness is determined by the number of luminance and darkness perception information. Sharp's unique "new-generation four-color technology" LCD panel passes the brightness information of two sub-pixels in green and yellow in one pixel, while the sub-pixels are in the vertical direction. Drive separately to achieve 8K resolution. Compared to using 4 color panels for 4K TVs, Sharp's 8K strategy will definitely perform better than this, and the following evaluation will compare the actual fineness of 8K and 4K.
Speaking of new color technology, according to Sharp's argument, the core is to control the brightness of the backlight through the partition to improve the brightness and darkness of the image. The high-contrast performance of the LCD panel itself can not show the metallic luster and the bright sparkling picture, which can be expressed through the new color technology. In addition, Sharp's unique processing technology can also detect bright part information in the image signal, improve the brightness of the LED backlight in the bright part information area, faithfully reproduce the bright part image, and effectively control the brightness of the LED backlight of the dark part image, in the night view. The bright light is more brilliant, darker and darker, deeper and deeper, achieving superb contrast.
Compared with local light control, the highlight of the new color technology is not only to reduce the brightness of the dark part, but also to enhance the brightness at light and improve the overall luster of expression.
In addition, the off-topic statement, Sharp 80XU35A TV has passed the Saixi laboratory's 8K clarity and the United States THX certification.
Appearance introduction
Evaluation Note: This evaluation was conducted in the conference room of Beijing Sharp Corporation.
Sharp 80XU35A uses a new design of the base, this set of base bracket is very heavy, the internal material is very solid, otherwise it can not support the 80-inch Duan Chun V screen 2 comb buckle, you can hide such as HDMI and the like Connection, let the whole look beautiful. In addition, Sharp has also prepared an acrylic front trim panel for the 80XU35A, which is a transparent aesthetic material with a sense of luxury and high quality. This decorative panel not only plays a decorative role, but also combines with structural acoustics. With the use of a reflective panel structure, it enhances the clarity of mid to high sounds and enhances the expressiveness of subwoofers, bringing a rich bass effect.
The interface behind the fuselage is still very rich, there are three groups of optical HDMI interface, in addition also supports various conventional AV cable, USB, etc., 2TB USB3.0 mobile hard disk can normally identify and use, the machine comes with SD card Slots that can directly read the photos taken by the camera. It is worth noting that there is also a microphone input interface that can implement family karaoke.
Bottom interface, all kinds of common interfaces readily available, the machine supports WIFI connection, also provides RJ45 network cable interface, after all, compared to WIFI, wired network speed and stability better.

Multimedia playback test
Panel performance test
Like the 80UD30A, this 80XU35A TV also has a wide color gamut. The measured results show that the sRGB color gamut can be up to 100%, ARGB can reach 85%, and the NTSC gamut can reach up to 116%.
The color accuracy inherited the outstanding performance of the previous generation flagship, and these are the values ​​under the standard mode.
This is a real shot of the test results. It can be seen that the panel has almost no light leakage at 100% brightness, and the brightness difference in the 9 areas is also relatively small. The brightness uniformity of the panel is very good, and the brightness uniformity of each part is controlled very well. It is worthy of being recognized by THX.
Color expression is for reference only
Grayscale over-performance is still quite good

In the Armenian grasslands, the brownish black in the lower right corner contrasts with the bright yellow above.
Manhattan Bridge, the overall color is bright, but the dark details are exactly the same, the bright lights are very beautiful.
The valley rivers and grasslands are generally reddish, which is basically the same as that of the 80UD3A. The rich colors brought by the wide color gamut technology are vivid, and the snow-capped mountains in the upper left corner are blue-white and look very comfortable.
In the Aegean Sea, the rock picture in the upper left corner is very clear. The color of the roof in the lower left corner of the building is slightly yellow, and the color of the sea surface is too natural.
Night scenes in Lijiang, lighting and roof colors are very good, the lower right corner of the leaves are also green, feeling very dazzling.
African savannah, blue sky and white clouds, earthy ground, dark green leaves, the overall color is very good, dark details are also more clear.
New Technology Comparison Display
The core of the new huangcai technology is to analyze the screen structure and reduce the dark part brightness through the localized light control technology to enhance the light effect. However, compared with ordinary local lighting technology, the core of the new color technology is to add the power of the dark part to the bright part, and through intelligent analysis to achieve a deeper dark part, bright part more texture.
From the GIF comparison chart, we can see that after opening the new color technology, the picture is not highlighted overall, and the highlighted part is only limited to the kimono itself.
This is another demo picture. After opening the new color technology, the gloss of the liquid is obviously improved, and the dark part is also deeper. The overall sense of transparency has been improved.
In addition to the new color technology 80XU35A also comes with four-color technology PRO, through this technology can achieve yellow enhancement, the test machine provides two modes to choose from, the mode has basically increased the yellow and red part of the brightening effect, and The overall brightness of mode 2 decreases but the yellow color becomes more intense. The overall color changes significantly, and the performance of the details is even better.
In addition, Sharp 80XU35A also provides color range adjustment, through the comparison chart can be seen after opening the feature screen color has changed significantly, red umbrella becomes more intense, the background of the yellow and blue colors also appear saturated market, the overall The color effect is very obvious.
New and old flagship comparison
Since it is a showroom that naturally has many classic products, such as the first half of the 80UD30A with outstanding color performance, it will be compared after 80XU35A, the mode will all restore the default settings and change to standard mode.
The picture on the left is slightly brighter. The red table cloth is more red. The 8K sharpness expresses the texture of the tablecloth. It is more realistic and the new generation of color features makes the golden color of the fan more translucent.
The 80XU35A on the left is brighter and details in the shadows are fine.
The details of the dark part of the 80XU35A on the left are relatively better, and the brightness of the screen has been improved.
80XU35A dark details of the details of the performance is even better, in the new Huangcai technology under the overall picture of the 80XU35A showing a bright white effect, and 80UD30A because the brightness is slightly lower, so the color is more realistic, but in fact, this question is what kind of effect you like. .
8K VS 4K fineness
This is a picture that is specifically designed to test 8K resolution. Here is how the 8K granularity of the Sharp 80XU35A TV will be experienced.
After the same picture was read on the 4K TV 80UD30A, the 8K part could not recognize the number of thin lines.
The same picture, 4K TV can not identify the last paragraph of text, very vague.
Reading 8K resolution pictures with 80XU35A, the text is clearly identifiable, and the 8K resolution TV's performance in detail is shocking.
