Subsequent to its preview of the newest TV innovations at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Sharp is currently propelling the freshest and best AQUOS TV lineup – the initial 4K TV with 8K Resolution, the Sharp AQUOS XU Series (LC-80XU930X/LC-70XU830X). One of the 2015 CES Innovation Award Honorees and touted as the highest resolution 4K TV, the XU Series increases current standards with regards to home entertainment and leads the route to the eventual fate of superior quality.
Upscale it using X8-Master Engine Pro
Sharp AQUOS XU Series achieves 8K Resolution on a 4K Ultra HD panel by combining Sharp’s proprietary Quattron Pro 4-Color Technology and its newest upscaling circuit, the X8-Master Engine Pro. Both work together to achieve resolution equivalent to 8K by upscaling Full HD and 4K UHD content. The result: true-to-life detail, the most vivid color expression, and deepest contrast.
Aside from providing the highest resolution on a 4K TV, the XU Series also displays more color than ever before, compared to conventional TV models. With its Rich Color Pro Technology, boosted by a new direct LED backlight system and Ultra Dynamic Range Pro, the XU Series expands its color range reproduction and provides the deepest contrasts in its blacks and whites. Rich Color Pro Technology enhances the power of 4-Color Technology with a new direct backlight that expands the color reproduction range by 40%, displaying a wider array of vivid and true-to-life colors. Ultra Dynamic Range Pro utilizes the new direct backlight with a control area dimming technology, which switches off the backlight in dark areas to achieve darkest blacks and brightens up light areas for the brightest whites, thereby producing great contrast.
The Sharp AQUOS XU Series features a sleek aluminum frame that highlights its posh and lightweight design, and an adjustable loop stand (for LC-80XU930X only) that can be adjusted up to 40cm on the inner portion. Its N- Black Anti-Glare Technology (for LC-80XU930X only) also enhances your viewing pleasure by reducing the reflection on the screen, while also contributing to clearer color reproduction. To up the ante, the XU Series also comes with a newly developed smart remote control equipped with a Sharp original touch pad and a slide bar, for easier external input switching and quicker access to features such as Google Voice SearchTM and Netflix.
