I measured input lag at 50.8ms (1080/60) in Game mode. First person shooters feel sluggish and unresponsive. Picture Quality If you’re looking for a large screen to game on, this Sharp isn’t going to appeal. For one thing, it’s a 60Hz panel, so there’s no High Frame Rate Support. More significantly though, latency is terrible. Which is why Sharp’s 4K offering really caught our eye. For it was running both ‘on stand’ and ‘special room’ demonstrations of a (currently) proprietary 4k upscaling process dubbed Integrated Cognitive Creation, which is being developed at Sharp’s i-Cubed Research Center in conjunction with one of the Japanese engineers responsible for the invention of the Trinitron picture tube.

This sort of ‘near 3D’ effect is a classic result of a quality 4k image – yet in this instance, of course, the ‘quality 4k image’ is not a native 4k source, but rather the same mushy looking 1080i source feed showing on the 1920×1080 screen.

There’s also MEMC support for motion but this TV runs Android TV instead of newer Google TV. FP and FN series The thing is, however much our hearts, minds and especially eyes might be crying out for native 4k-resolution content in our living rooms, the simple reality is that it’s not going to happen any time soon. At least in any sort of quantity. So with 4k screens and projectors slated to go on sale this year, it’s obvious that initially, at least, these devices’ upscaling technology is going to be critical. We were given the opportunity to get a first-hand look at all the TVs launching in 2022 and 2023. Here’s what we gleaned about the new features and availability. New TVs for 2022 and 2023 The picture processor is Sharp’s dual core ACE Pro Ultra Engine, which on this evidence is also rather limited when it comes to upscaling. SD channels from its terrestrial tuner are murky. Sound QualityThat said, this Sharp’s audio performance is rather better than you might imagine. The resident Harman Kardon supplied sound system has volume and stereophone weight. With a 12W output, it can fill an average-sized living room without sounding too shrill. We're currently building two sepearate databases to give users the best and most informative ways of searching for their parts Search by Part Number Sharp will launch its new Mini LED TVs at the end of Q1 2023. The TVs have yet to receive official names, but the biggest difference between the three is the number of dimming zones available – 300, 1000 or 2000. XLED 2000 Mini LED On the 4k screen, on the other hand, the 1080i picture looked absolutely sensational. Forget HD; the level of detail present in the image clearly went beyond normal 1920×1080 levels into something that genuinely looked like a native 4k image.

Additional picture modes include the self-explanatory User, Vivid and Sport. The set also supports Dolby Vision. Opt for a Dolby Vision streaming show and the presets alter to Dolby Vision Bright, Dark and Vivid. Arguably this is when you’ll see the set at its best. Warrior Nun (Netflix) plays as sharp as a demon-hunting nun’s blade. Next up is the XLED 1000 Mini LED, which includes 1000 dimming zones.It also features a 144Hz refresh rate, the new platform, Quantum Dot colour support and runs the Google TV interface. Like the XLED 2000, it also has an integrated sound system by Harman Kardon. XLED 300Mini LED There wasn’t a lot of motion in the exhibition material either, making us wonder how well the processing engine might ‘keep up’ with the demands of a high-motion scene. In the US, this same line has the designation FN2EA and is available in the same screen sizes – 43FN2EA, 50FN2EA, 55FN2EA and 65FN2EA. Design The XLED 2000 is the top-of-the-line Mini LED TV with 2000 dimming zones. The TV runs on Sharp’s new platform, as do the other two Mini LEDs and the FS gaming TV, which includes Filmmaker mode.Below the Mini LEDs are the FP and FN series.They share the same design and run on the current Sharp platform instead of the new one. The FP series is the more advanced of the two, as it features support for Dolby Atmos sound, Quantum Dot colours and MEMC motion. FP series The FN is seen as Sharp’s 4K UHD TV for a more mainstream audience. It features support for Dolby Vision, a 60Hz refresh rate and runs on Android TV. The downfiring speakers are tuned by Harman Kardon and there is DTS:X support but no Dolby Atmos.Sharp says the FN series is available to buy now. Sharp FS series
