Sharp 80-inch flagship LCD-80UD30A evaluation: superb quality features powerful

1 born for quality

Talking about Sharp in the television industry, almost all knowledgeable people know the phrase "father of LCD". In fact, Sharp's achievement in the field of LCD TVs is indeed worthy of its name. Although in recent years the entire Japanese household electrical appliance companies have been attacked by Korean and local brands, Sharp still has many loyal users in the LCD TV industry with solid basic skills.



Almost all television manufacturers have come up with their own flagship products since 2015, and Sharp is no exception. In the Appliance Fair in March this year, Sharp displayed a series of 4K and 8K LCD products with large screens, earning media numerous films, and today's protagonist comes from Sharp's 80-inch flagship LCD-80UD30A TV.





This book evaluation machine LCD-80UD30A


Evaluation note

The evaluation was conducted in Sharp's showroom in Shanghai. The evaluation TV was an engineering prototype and some functions were not yet open. In addition, because the site is not a completely black environment, there are some background and screen reflection problems.

2 elegant design with the same strain

The evaluation of the LCD-80UD30A TV is actually a large-screen version of the LCD-70UD30A that was previously sold. Since the size of the LCD-80UD30A has increased a lot, the actual cost is naturally much higher.


In terms of appearance, the LCD-80UD30A maintains the same style as the LCD-70UD30A. The combination of an oversized main screen and an elegant stand highlights the unique style of Japanese designers. The stand-down stand of the Chinese brand TV is even more stable.





SHARP LOGO bottom of the fuselage can be set in the option of lit or off, this is more humane is also very dazzling.





The thickness of LCD-80UD30A is absolutely not thin, but this is a product that pursues extreme picture quality. Its thickness is not the key point at all. What's more, the 80-inch TV has nothing to worry about the thickness of the body all day long?





The interface of LCD-80UD30A is very rich, 3 groups HDMI interface, 1 USB2.0 interface, support SD and smart card. The lower fuselage comes with RJ45 network interface and video input interface, in addition also provides a USB3.0 interface.

System - Information View


This machine configuration, ARM Cortex A17 dual-core 1G processor, GPU for the four-core Mali450, 2GB physical content and 4GB eMMC storage space, comes with a wireless network card, physical resolution 3840x2160, supports 3D display.

4 The local viewing screen is upper

According to Sharp, this LCD-80UD30A TV main screen, for this Sharp equipped with its three major technologies, namely, wide color gamut technology, intelligent contrast enhancement and 4K ultra-clear.


The panel comes from the original X-ray crystal panel at Kameyama Plant in Japan. Through Sharp's unique light transmission technology, the deflection direction of the liquid crystal molecules is precisely controlled, which effectively increases the utilization of light and the opening ratio of liquid crystal molecules, allowing more light to pass through the liquid crystals. The panel has a higher peak brightness, making the white more clear and bright. At the same time, the technology can accurately control the passage of light and effectively suppress the light leakage phenomenon of the backlight, making the black deeper and richer.





illustrate


The 4K ultra clear is based on RGB three-color technology, which means that it does have better fineness and color expressiveness than WRGB panels commonly used by Chinese brands. The final wide color gamut is different from other manufacturers through quantum dots. Sharp's wide color gamut technology is based on newly developed LED groups to improve color protection, and the theory can provide more natural color expression.



In addition, technologies such as smooth and smooth processing 200 are also available. This function improves the double-speed performance, enhances the performance of the backlight, panel, and details, and actually improves the problem of tailing under high-speed images. It is worth mentioning that this TV also supports HEVC decoding.



5.4K picture effect real shot

Since the main screen, then take a look at this TV picture in the end what is extraordinary. Try Sharp's smart contrast enhancement first.



Smart Contrast Enhancement Comparison


Corresponding setting is shown in the figure, the difference will be more obvious after making 4 photos into GIF.

From the results, the smart contrast enhancement function does have a certain effect. The test video is 4K resolution. After the single pause adjustment, the details of the picture can be seen to improve significantly. The black part is darker, the bright white part is brighter, and the door is The texture is also sharpened and the details of the picture become more prominent.



4K test video


For the wide color gamut test, we use 4K HD picture real shots and comparisons to render. The first is a 4K video still shot. From the color point of view, the whole is not particularly rich but the color is very positive and there is no overfullness. The overall color can only be described by nature.



The color of the picture is very positive


Let's take a look at the 4K HD wallpaper real shot, the color of the petals is very positive, the overall orange, very close to the original photo.



Picture details clear color accuracy


The second, the blue sky is very beautiful, and the details of the cherry blossom belt with powder are very clear.

In addition, this TV also supports smooth and smooth processing 200, which can theoretically improve the afterimage of high-speed images. Here is the video real shot.



High-speed motion image feels very small


In the Transformers 4 footage of a car man being chased by a Decepticon, the Optimus Prime hit the car and deformed. From the actual shooting of this lens, the residual image of the screen is not obvious, and in particular, the sheet metal structure on Optimus Prime is very clear. Explain that the smooth smoothing 200 technology can really improve the display effect of moving pictures.

6. Rich 2D to 3D Function

The LCD-80UD30A TV supports a variety of 2D to 3D modes, including left and right 3D, red and blue 3D, and up and down 3D. If the source is 3D, you can't set it or set 3D options. However, if it is 2D to 3D, you can set options that include the depth of field, viewing angle, and other improvements. Here are the effects of several common display modes.

Red and blue 3D picture




Left and right 3D pictures


From the effect is still quite good, if you feel that the screen is not strong enough to adjust the depth of field on their own, if the original 3D film source, then the effect is better.

7. The overall upgrade of the picture contrasts the 60-inch old flagship

Just look at the real shot may not understand how this picture of the TV in the end, happened to be in the Sharp showroom there is an old section of the 60-inch 1080P TV, spent a great effort put two TV together, to see the picture contrast It. PS: Both TVs use the default color scheme without any changes.



2 screen contrast


The results are quite amazing. The LCD-80UD30A with its wide color gamut is overwhelmingly overwhelming. The color of the petals is more intense. The color of the 60-inch TV on the right side is cold and white.



2 screen contrast


According to the cherry blossom test, the TV on the right side has a color cast, and the khaki branches are greenish.



2 screen contrast


Comparison of beautiful pictures, the results vary greatly. The skin color of LCD-80UD30A is self-igniting, and the hair color is currently the popular burgundy. The right 60-inch TV has a white skin with a blue background, and the hair color turns brown, like a dull dry hair.

All the tests are very smooth, the decoding speed is fast, the jump response is timely, and the decoding of the HEVC encoded video is very smooth, and it can fully meet the requirements of most video playback.



1080P Video Transformers 4 H.264 encoding




1080P video Captain America 2 H.264 encoding


The machine's 2K to 4K effect is quite good, in addition to the static there will be more obvious particle effects, the dynamic effect is very good, especially the United States Captain 2 in the Fore Secretary forehead lines are very clear. For an 80-inch 4K TV like LCD-80UD30A, the viewing distance of 2-3 meters with the conversion technology can meet the needs of video enthusiasts. In a short period of time, Sharp's technology can support this. The lack of 4K native video has brought problems.



In addition, this machine also supports subtitle selection function, and supports ASS subtitles, subtitle color has a variety of choices, although the size of the font can not be adjusted, but absolutely enough in size.

9. Panel performance test

The panel performance test uses the Spyder Spyder4Elite red spider screen colorimeter, a product designed for photographers and pursuing ultimate colorists, photographers and graphic designers. The test device is hand-held to prevent light from entering the test results. Color adjustment is the default.



In the color gamut test, sRGB reached 100% with good results. aRGB is 85%, good results. The color gamut of aRGB is mainly used in CMYK printing and can cover 50% of the visible color range of the human eye. Compared with SRGB, it expands the green-green color. The higher the theoretical color field value is, the better the color expression of the screen is. In general, when aRGB reaches 85%, its performance is good.





Color gamut test performed well


Brightness test results show that the LCD-80UD30A's light control performance is good, the maximum brightness of 315.1, the contrast ratio is 20 to 1. 25% brightness and light control in general, brightness is 142, 50% brightness is 190.2, 75% is 249.8 In general, the brightness control of this TV is fairly good, not too exaggerated value. For the average user, 50% brightness is enough, the LED backlight itself is bright, so it is generally not open to the maximum, and in this brightness LCD-80UD30A has a static contrast ratio up to 1021 to 1, of course, if the dynamic contrast is turned on in the application Enhancements have actually improved test scores, but this will affect the fairness of the evaluation.


50% brightness contrast performance


9 Regional light control performance test shows that at 100% brightness, the central part of the light control is best, there is a certain degree of deviation around the value, from the results given by the software to see more frightening, the actual effect of real shot and live demo did not Exaggeration can only be said that the instrument itself is very sensitive to the capture of these details and has no effect on daily use.



Local light control under maximum brightness but little effect on the actual picture


The color accuracy is evaluated by all TVs. The color bars are as short as possible. A curved 4K TV color bar that was previously evaluated has all burst out, and the color accuracy of this LCD-80UD30A is excellent, with a very small degree of deviation. This means that the picture is naturally not distorted, which is in line with the effect of the real shot before.



Color accuracy test panel is very powerful

This is an overall shot of the LCD-80UD30A. Here we take a close-up look at the fine details of this TV.



In this part, 4K TVs are required to distinguish between black bars and spaces. The fineness is very good from the result, and the maximum is 25.



This part requires that the pattern in the picture can be clearly seen. The result is still very clear because the fineness is too high.



The text part recognizes that even the smallest number can be identified.



In English, the smallest font is still recognized, and the fineness is impeccable.

The fineness of the LCD-80UD30A comes from its use of RGB tri-color panels, which means that there are inherent advantages in display accuracy over WRGB four-color panels, so the fineness is much better than LGD's WRGB panels.

11.4K tone level restoration test

This test is mainly used to embody the display capability of TV panels.



Because there is a certain error in the real shot, the first gray scale may not be very obvious, but in fact its performance is very good.





The second item is the shadow level. The maximum display value of this item is 10.





The third item is the highlight level test. The maximum color on the scene is 251.





The grayscale is too soft and there is no burr. The gradient effect is also good, the process is more natural. In fact, this test result is related to the reader's display. The results seen by different monitors are not the same, so the results are for reference only.



12. Over-color performance test

This test mainly shows the color rendering capability of the TV panel. From the real shot chart, the color performance can only be described accurately. In addition, the YCMGBR testing advice shows that all the color distribution areas show a triangle, indicating that the color is very good.



On the right is an over-exaggerated rendering of some color details. Except for brown and green, the other colors are very smooth, especially in the red.

The 4K HD picture of the real shot scene, the red display is very beautiful, and the transition to yellow is also good, the details of the grassland and the tent below are clear, and the difference between the overall picture and the original picture is small.

13. Brain scans show super-fine picture

The biggest feature of 4K TV is that the fineness of the same size is 4 times higher than that of 1080P. The following shows how fine the 4K fineness is with a 3840x2160 image.

This is a brain scan map. In addition to the accidental complete brain map, the scans on the top of the image contain a lot of text information, which is crucial for the doctor to understand the text.



This is a close-up shot of a 60-inch 1080P TV. The small text is blurry and it can be misdiagnosed by doctors.





This is a close-range shooting effect of the LCD-80UD30A. The text on the four corners of the display at 4K resolution is very clear, and the brain pattern is sharp and sharp, which is extremely helpful for the doctor's diagnosis.



14. Overall performance test

The basic performance of this TV can be seen using the security Bunny Run points.



Ann Bunny Run Click to Enlarge


The overall score of 21658, which is a very common result in the mobile phone, is considered a very high performance in TV. In addition, the performance of this TV is much higher than that of the Samsung Note2 mobile phone, so its basic performance is still guaranteed.



Grayscale test


This is a grayscale test provided by Ann Bunny. The LCD-80UD30A's color rendering ability is outstanding. Basically it can see the top left corner, but it is difficult for the camera to shoot.



TV comes with a network test function, because I do not know the WIFI bandwidth in the Sharp showroom, so the actual measurement, the maximum speed display is 1673KB / s, which is 1.67MB download speed, because it is public WIFI, so the speed is for reference only, but this The applet is actually very useful because it evaluates the speed of the internet and is suitable for watching ultra-clear videos online.



15. Intelligent application platform and audio he experience

The system of this machine has a cooperative relationship with Lenovo, so its own application market is also provided by Lenovo. There is no difference between the installation software and ordinary smart TV, and it is very easy to use.



With the music application, the software has also done a classification process, but the current internal program is not too much, some common software can not search, recommend Sharp users to download and install the sofa butler, thousands of free applications available for download and installation.






According to the staff, the LCD-80UD30A's audio unit uses two 10-watt units and a 15-watt bass power supply, which is not a very luxurious configuration for the audio unit, but on-site auditioning found that even if the volume is turned up to 100, the speakers are also No obvious break, it seems that the quality of this set of speakers is still good.





Also experience the effects through movies and music. The film uses the first independent day at the box office for 96 years. The audio features of this audio are the sound of aeroplanes, the various explosions and Arnold's super composer. The audio effect is quite good from the scene experience, bass is not enough but basic enough, the left and right channels are relatively clear.



To listen to songs, use an old song of Zhang Xinzhe not to tell him that the soothing rhythm and strong treble can test the pure sound quality of TV. This LCD-80UD30A sound performance can only be said to be law-abiding, the sound is relatively bright but not clean enough, with a trace of muddy, in fact, this TV's speaker gives the impression is more suitable for watching movies, of course, simply enjoy the music is It's too violent for heaven.



16. Overall power consumption and electromagnetic radiation test

The final test under the machine energy consumption, the maximum brightness of the fuselage decoding HEVC video, through the shop metering socket can see that the machine's maximum power consumption is about 332 watts, for a 80-inch TV, the power consumption is more reasonable.



As far as electromagnetic radiation is concerned, there is no need to worry about it. The value of electromagnetic radiation when it is in zero-distance contact with the panel is only 0.02 microtesla. After the distance is removed, the electromagnetic radiation is negligibly small. This shows that the radiation of this TV is very small, such as at home. The words of pregnant women do not have to worry about electromagnetic radiation.





17. Evaluation Summary: Focus and Professional

For the LCD-80UD30A, what the editors want to say is that this is a product designed for 4K and the pursuit of natural color, and its biggest attraction is outstanding picture performance. From the evaluation results, we can see that with the original 4K panel in the picture fineness, the sharpness performance is amazing, especially the RGB three-color panel to 4K level is even more outstanding than the WRGB panel fineness, this can be seen in the brain scan map Ultra-clear display capability to LCD-80UD30A.



Picture quality has reached industry leading level


The overall transition in color is natural and the color gradation is smooth. This is confirmed by either the real shot or the instrument test. The good picture consists of a newly developed LED backlight module and a powerful original panel. Contrast, if you use the highest level of smart contrast enhancement, you can experience a nice darker and brighter experience.



With respect to smart systems, there are not many bright spots on the current engineering prototypes, but there should be good prospects for cooperation with Lenovo. In addition, the cooperation of the video part with Bestrade ensures the richness of the content, at least completely annihilated. Can see. Of course, this TV is only now available, and the price has not yet been informed of specific numbers. However, relying on its ultimate color performance and its large panel size of 80 inches, it will naturally not be cheap. After all, this is Sharp's strongest work in the first half of 2015.
