Big AQUOS


The bigger the screen, the greater the pleasure: you can put films, shows etc. in a totally new light with Sharp's Big AQUOS. The picture impresses with extremely detailed and dynamic impressions, turning spectacular shots like those in action movies and nature documentaries into a fascinating experience. Perfect for a family television evening or sharing the excitement of sports.

Android TV User Interface


Finding is better than searching. So customise your Android TV home screen to show you exactly the apps, films, and shows you want to watch. Now you can continue watching movies after interruptions, start new episodes or jump to another show without having to go back and forth. Everything is really easy with your go-to app.

4K/UHD Resolution


Simply breath-taking in sharpness and colour: 4K Ultra HD is four times better than full HD resolution. You can even experience older films or series with unprecedented clarity. This is ensured by the modern image upscaler technology, which optimises any kind of content to 4K. Uncompromising cinema quality at any time at home.

harman/kardon® 2.1 Soundsystem


The Harman / Kardon® 2.1 sound system is made for discerning ears. It includes special silk tweeters that provide high sound precision with a natural timbre. A built-in subwoofer allows for even better handling of bass frequencies and offers a unique HARMAN feature with the Slip Stream Bass Port design. What does it sound like? Like a sound that fills the room with exceptional precision – almost better than in the cinema.

Android TV


This is how television works today: With the smart Android TV platform you have direct access to a wide range of streaming services with over 400,000 films and shows. Or transfer videos, music or pictures wirelessly from your smart devices to your TV using the built-in Chromecast. The integrated voice control makes it easy for you – whether you use Google Assistant to search for your favourite show or dim the lights in the room.

Google Assistant


It doesn't get any more convenient than this: press the Google Assistant button on your remote and control your TV with your voice. For example, ask Google for thrillers or discover open multiplayer games. Even connected smart home devices such as lights can be controlled by voice. You can also use the TV to manage tasks, look at your calendar, access information etc.

Game mode


When you connect your console to a conventional TV, there are unnecessary delays that slow you down when gaming. It's different with Game Mode: this gaming mode gives you the best possible response times with crisp 4K or Full HD resolution and natural contrast. Your favourite games will fascinate you again and you will immerse yourself even deeper in your games.

HDR – High Dynamic Range


HDR brings optically even more out for you when watching TV. With extra brightness and contrast as well as a wider range of colours, the image is perfectly suited to the human eye. Bright pictures are clearer and more vivid, reds, greens and blues become more iridescent and the picture gains depth.

Active Motion 1000


No more blurriness or out of focus: with Active Motion, you'll experience moving images with a sharpness that no conventional LCD TV can give you. What makes the dramatic difference? Powerful processors and a superior LCD display with a short response time. Perfect for sports, film and action.

Netflix


Watch what you're interested in at any time, unlimited and without any adverts: with Netflix you can stream a huge number of films, series and documentaries – including big blockbusters and elaborate in-house productions. Simply take out a paid subscription and you can choose from thousands of offers.

ACE Pro Ultra Engine


The features make the difference: AQUOS LED televisions use a powerful dual-core picture optimisation system to ensure outstanding picture quality. This advanced technology analyses and enhances incoming video signals for a sharp image and natural looking picture. Regardless of whether you're watching films, photos or videos.

SD card reader


Even though a great deal is possible with the smartphone today: you prefer using a digital camera or 4K camera for filming or photography. You can get this content on your big TV with the SD card reader, in 4K or Full HD resolution. This shows the details off to their very best and you can present your films and photoshoots at home.

Google Play Movie


Do you want to be able to talk about them right away and watch films and series before they appear on Blu-Ray disc? Are you looking for specific films that are not currently on anywhere? Then buy or rent your favourites with Google Play Movie. Just stream live on your big TV and turn the living room into a cinema for your family or friends. Or download it and watch it when the time is right for you.

Chromecast built in


From your mobile phone, tablet or laptop directly to your big TV screen: with the built-in Chromecast, you can transfer your favourite films, videos, apps, games and much more to enjoy everything in large format. You can also show your holiday photos from your smartphone on your TV using Chromecast – in high resolution and brilliant colours.

Active Motion 600


No more blurriness or out of focus: with Active Motion, you'll experience moving images with a sharpness that no conventional LCD TV can give you. What makes the dramatic difference? Powerful processors and a superior LCD display with a short response time. Perfect for sports, film and action.

Amazon Prime


With Amazon Prime Video you have access to a huge selection of (original) films and TV shows. Watch the series everyone is talking about and the best films, including the latest blockbusters. The paid streaming service simply always brings good entertainment to your screen.

HEVC/h.265


Future inclusive: with this very latest video codec, you're ready for the broadcasting standards of tomorrow today. And when the action starts, you'll be in on the action with your Sharp TV right from the start.

Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital+


Everyone is familiar with the terms, and behind them are audio codes for transmitting sound. Dolby Digital can provide sound with 5 channels and subwoofer. With Dolby Digital+, two additional channels refine the sound by adding more detail and creating an impressive surround sound.

Dolby Atmos


Welcome to a powerful world of sound that redefines surround sound: with Dolby Atmos, the sounds seem to flow in space around you, breathtakingly real. This pushes your entertainment experience into undreamed of dimension. Dolby Atmos content is available on 4K UHD Blu-ray discs, video streaming services such as Netflix or music streaming services such as Tidal.

DTS HD codecs


5 speakers plus a subwoofer: you can find content with this surround sound on Amazon Prime and Google Play Movie, for example. With DTS-HD, you can use them to enhance your listening experience.

DTS Virtual:X


Entertainment at the highest acoustic level: DTS Virtual:X creates the feeling of sound above your head height. It also improves the clarity of dialogue and enhances the bass sound. Just sit back and let your TV speakers deliver an unprecedented audio experience.

HDMI Inputs


Plug it in, ready, go: with HDMI inputs you can connect all kinds of devices –Blu-ray or DVD players, streaming boxes, digital receivers or game consoles. Now films, music and games are available on your TV.

Dolby Vision


The cinema was the inspiration for this innovative technology, which brings images to life again. It uses enhanced brightness, contrast, colour and details for this. The results are ultra-individual images with a vibrancy that makes you forget the difference between films or series and reality.

HLG


Hybrid Log Gama, or HLG for short, is a must-have for every modern TV. With this standard you can take advantage of optically high-quality HDR content, which broadcasters or streaming providers transmit by satellite, cable or antenna.

Android TV Remote Control app


Remote control? Redundant! With this app, you reach for your smartphone or tablet to access your TV. It's up to you whether you use the D-pad, touchpad mode or voice function or prefer entering the text using the keyboard. Or one way today and another way tomorrow, whatever you like.
