For the price of this TV, it should look amazing and sound amazing! Which it does but Sharp needs to make some that folks like me can afford. I just bought 2 new 65" TV's from Samsung and one was 629.99 and the other was 679.99 That's about all I'm going to spend bc I just don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a TV. I've always liked Sharp, but not enough to spend what they want for these TV's. Thanks for the video!
I'm still rocking a 1080p sharp from 2012. I'm definitely ready for an upgrade but the Sharp has not had a single issue in 11 years. Glad to see them back in the game.
In 1981,when i was born, my grandfather 's father, had brought or bought a SHARP 14" TV,when he had gone to do a religious ceremony in Mecca, and i have to say that, this Model in those days was a masterpiece
Hei Brain. I am from germany and i love your channel so much! You're great at your job! You help me a lot in my decisions about which TV to get. Warm greetings from Germany.
Such a comprehensive review Brian. Excellent work. If you want Dolby Atmos content I have tons of them. Getting a million plays and more a month on Apple Music. On YT is in surround sound as well.
I bought a SHARP AQUOS 52" in 2011. I read all the reviews at the time and chose to buy the SHARP. I think I paid about $1300 at the time. Well, I'm still enjoying that TV. It's as good as it ever wise. It's as bright and vibrant as it was in 2011. I'm a movie buff so this TV has been perfect ! I've sold Samsung , LG and almost every brand out there. I'm so totally satisfied with my SHARP! 👍
Man this TV looks like a 2023 contender..Definitely needs a calibration colors looked a little off to me...The sound...Damn it's good maybe top of the line this year. I'm stoked to see this TV professionally calibrated...I think it's gonna be a winner!!! Great review so far Brian!
My fist flat/wide screen lcd tv was a 2001? $4000.00 37” 720p Sharp Aquos - silver with side mounted speakers and the tuner in a separate box (like LG’s ? one connect box) it was a great TV that was still going strong when I last saw it in 2013. My next was a far less expensive 47” 1080p Sharp Aquos purchased in 2007 and is currently still going strong and looking great at my brothers home as a second TV. I currently have a Hisense 4k 55U6G model which is doing a terrific job but which I would not have purchased if I could have trusted the Sharp Aquos name after its sale some years ago. I am THRILLED to see this unboxing and review and to see if Sharp Aquos can regain its name as a leader in the industry. I am really giving some thought to changing up to such a high quality product because I’ve seen the build quality before and have never regretted my investment in it. Good luck Sharp.
Wow, what an amazing looking TV, even through my monitor it looks great! Very nice and comprehensive review, especially enjoying the music in your videos. Even though I haven't seen either TV I'm thinking the Sony A95L or this Sharp Aquos XLED in 77" is going to be the TV I buy this year.
It's great seeing Sharp being competitive again, they've kind of fallen off the last number of years, behind Samsung, Sony, LG, even TCL and Hisense - competition is good, especially if it is quality competition.
I have Sharp aquos for 12 years now, incredible quality TV against LG or samsung. I wanna buy new TV and i'm waiting for Oled model from sharp or mini led....i'm curious how Sharp stand against LG or samsung now
I'm loving everything I'm seeing about this TV. Big, powerful, built quality, this is screaming premium everywhere. It would be so awesome if every company had an option like this, price through the roof, make it expensive please. Does it support Gsync Freesync?
I still have my Sharp Aquos BBE Mach3Bass purchased in 2004. It’s the silver one with the lateral speakers. It’s a solid TV and I keep it in my home office. It was my first HDTV. It’s a 720P but at 27”, the picture is still adequate. I just can’t part with it. I have a special relationship with this TV because of its quality and the fact that I don’t need a soundbar. I’m glad they’re coming back. The audio system in these new ones makes Sharp TVs unique.
Dang! Sharp is a serious contender in the 75-85" category for 2024 as I'm about to pull the trigger on a very expensive set around summer/autumn time next year. Sony is the other competitor, LG just about hanging up there as well.
sharp used to make some of the best TVs, they should have never stopped making them..... wonder how a 15 year old top of the line sharp TV would look now. I bet it's not that big of a difference. Glad to see Sharp back in the game. Maybe Panasonic and Pioneer will come back. They made the best PLASMA tvs in the world....... love, love, love....
@@michael-4k4000 I was a bit fan or Pioneer and Panasonic always in the plasma era. Sharp has been making TVs here in Japan always, but not sure who's panels they have been using. They were pretty solid during the western market hiatus.
The picture looks refined. Clarity and balance not a processed picture. Reminds me of Panasonic somehow. I know its youtube and all, but I think it has its own ID picturewise. Looks like quality to my eyes. Stoked :)
i still have two units of 40" Sharp Aquos Quattron 3D tv with built-in Yamaha sound system and sub-woofer. still works well after 12 years. Glad to see Sharp coming back with top features tv
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Will do Brian. Thanks again. That's correct, Value Electronics. This will replace my aging LG C8 65 inch TV (with the dreaded green blob), which is now dimming after about 12 thousand hours.
I feel like a lot of people are gonna want to own one of these Sharp tvs for themselves. From what you guys have shown thus far this tv is the ultimate in premium build. I remember tvs back year's ago had more premium build quality like you are showing from this Sharp tv. Great presentation of a very worthy TV. 😊
DANG !!! Sharp is BACK !!! Fantastic preview of the Sharp. Definitely looking forward to the Shootout and how this TV does against the Big Boy Brands ! Appears to have already won the Audio Category. Because of the high grade audio something tells me this TV will not be the TCL/Hisense $ range. Thanks again Brian and V.E. for previewing these newest and best of the best TVs and technology. 👍😊
Sharp was my entry point into this mess, 10+ years ago. Not an entry level price lol, my current TV cost the same, so I guess it was way more than I realized. Can't wait to see this
Brian I am so sorry I missed the Livestream!! What a great video! The TV looks great and, from what I can tell, the sound is the best onboard sound I have heard on a TV. Thanks for all you do!! Wonderful job!!❤️❤️❤️ P.S. This is the first time listening to one of your videos on my two-channel integrated amp and your opening sounds amazing on it!!!
I still have an old (7 yrs old, I think) 65" Sharp tv. I have Sony tvs for the main watching areas, but the Sharp still gets used, and I haven't had any issues with it.
0 seconds ago My Sharp Aquos 32 inches LCD TV bought more than 12 years ago is still functioning today. They made a very good quality TV back then. I always wish they will make a comeback in the market.
It's great to see this " real " Sharp Electronics Televisions back in the game again. I hope to see the XLED Models in Europe too. I've sold Sharp products for about twenty years and have a lot of love for brand. So It's nice to see to the old champ back in fight again. Thank you for your thoughtful presentation / review of the XLED experience. I've enjoyed watching this video and hope to see more content on this LCD technology! Greetings from Sweden 👍
23:10 I watch this on Oled screen and in this scene blooming is very noticeable. After watching other footage about this TV, I see that not only blooming, but also lifted blacks may be a problem.
I am really interested in this TV. After it has been tested a bit and checked for stuff. I think this is the TV I would want. I am curious about them doing their own SOC. So no MediaTek? If it has 3 2.1 HDMI that would be cool. Not a deal breaker for me. I only really need 2. I love the fact you can actually play with color temp settings and fine tune them to your own liking. Imagine LG with their green tint or Samsung with red tint having that. You could just go in and tweak it and reduce any of that stuff and just hone in exactly how you like it. I also have a feeling this TV doesn't dim as much as Sony and Samsung does this year with smaller highlights. But still perhaps retaining black levels and less blooming. They make their own panels and processors. That is also nice. The sound is really impressive. The pricing also doesn't seem too high. Just wish this would sell in Canada and I can actually get it, if it lives up to potential. No TV is perfect.
I think that may be a little bit of a stretch there to say that they are doing their own SoC. Even the description on their spec sheet seems to imply that they are sourcing that from MediaTek (MTK T51P). Now, they may well have provided a design spec to MediaTek for it and they may well have written their only algorithms to run inside of that processor, the exact same way Sony does with MediaTek on their X1 and XR Cognitive processors, but there's a VERY big difference between actually building your own SoC and just spec'ing one out to a 3rd-party supplier. There is no way that SHARP is actually manufacturing that SoC in-house. They would have to have their own chip fabs to do that and they simply don't have that capacity in house today. Now, that's no knock against SHARP though as very few companies in the world today have the capacity to build, own and operate their own chip fabs. Recall that it takes a couple of billion dollars and a three-to-five-year construction effort just to bring a new one of those on-line. Only companies with the scope and scale of LG, Samsung, Intel and TSMC have the resources at their disposal to be able do that today. Making your own LCD panels is one thing. Building and operating your own modern chip fab that can do a 10-14nm fabrication process is an entirely other thing altogether.
@@michaelbeckerman7532 Could be the case. But searching for the MTK T51P doesn't show any specific MediaTek SoC. Makes you wonder what it is then. It's not MT5895 etc etc that is common if not a Pentonic. So what is the T51P SoC?? Otherwise it seems Sharp is almost vertically integrated. They have their own panels, factories and so on. They are not using TCL or AUO panels etc like Sony and so on. So them making their own SoC, who knows. We already know they make their own processor in the "Medalist" or whatever it is called. Similar to how Sony have "XR" processor. I can't see it having 3 HDMI 2.1 if it's MediaTek SoC. So then it would have to be 2 of them.
@@loki76well, I only ask this question because having your own panel factories and having an actual chip fab are two very different things entirely. I'd just like to know the specific details here on this. It's funny how TV manufacturers don't ever really want to provide many details on their processors. We demand incredible levels of details from PC manufacturers on the chips they use and we get them. Yet, when it comes to our TVs, which are basically just LINUX computers now today, we get just an obscure name and that's about it, and sometimes we don't even get that. That seriously needs to change. We need to start pressing ALL TV manufacturers to be as forthcoming with the details on their processors as PC manufacturers are on the ones they use. These modern TVs are just computers now (with big displays attached) and it's about time we started treating them like it - all of us.
Hey Brian... I think I know the answer but, just based on the picture quality (the sound is just a bonus to me), would you pick this Sharp XLED over the TCL QM8? Thanks
I’m still rocking my old 1080p Sharp Aquos LED and still enjoy it - looking for an upgrade but seems like this isn’t gonna be easy or possible (?) to buy in Canada?
With over 2000 dimming zones I was expecting better black levels. Also, I get that Sharp went for accuracy but I think the colors lack a bit of depth .... but overall I am glad that Sharp is trying to make a comeback.
as FOMO said in a recent video - it's not the number of dimming zones, but how you use them. why sony mini led X95L gonna be the best, because they have no peer when it comes to processing
Definitely. It has already been presented in Europe on Sharp Xperience Roadshow 2022. The model name is Sharp XLED 2000 and will be available on market 4Q '23.
I have a 65in Sharp Aqous 1080p tv I bought in 2013 for $1000. It always looks good, and the only problem is the remote stopped working a few months ago. Of course now I have a Samsung 65in qled from 2020 and I just got a Samsung s90c qd oled. The Sharp is the 1st flat screen tv I ever had. As a smart tv it only had a bad early Netflix that took forever to load and TH-cam, and that was about it.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I just remembered around 2013 were the days of 3d tvs with glasses. I think maybe Sharp had a 3d tv, but what happened to 3d, did it not advance 3d tvs tothe point we would not need glasses and maybe even qd oled 3d tvs.
Did you do a video on the difference between the 85 inch X95L and X93L? there’s a $500 difference, but I’m trying to figure out the difference between both models.
Hi Brian. So I checked the VE website and noticed that the Sharp FS1 OLED was priced less than this one. Why is this? Asking bc since shopping around, I've noticed that minLEDs where less than OLEDS.
Sharp's AQUOS XLED is the new flagship QD MiniLED TV. Sharp's new 2023 OLED TVs they are bring into the USA are excellent OLED TVs, but the US's FS1 is their entry level OLED TV. Sharp's new 2023 FS1 55" and 65" OLED TVs are comparable to LG's new 2023 C3 OLED TV and Sharp is using LG Display's new 2023 EX OLED module. Sharp's new FS1 OLED TV is $1,499 for the 55" and $1,999 for the 65" and these new OLED TVs are an exceptional value/performance choice.
Thanks for the breakdown. They also have the FQ1 that is WOLED. Is that the only diff between the 2 regarding the specs and ports/speakers? Would it also be pricier than the FS1 and will you be carrying it?
@@darkcamo77 Not sure what all of the spec's will be on Sharp's QD OLED TVs when they finally come to the US, which will likely be available in the US for the 2024 model year. The main difference will be the QD OLED panel vs. the new 2023 LG EX OLED panel.
Hi Brian, looking to upgrade my old 65" Samsung JS8500. I love this old TV as it was 2015 and the higher end TV's at that time supported 4K HDR while keeping 3DTV support. I ended up keeping it longer than expected. I've been waiting for OLED tech to clear a brightness hurdle as my living room is very bright (corner apartment with floor to ceiling windows on two of the walls). Now with MiniLED getting closer to OLED, what would you recommend for a 75"? Is MiniLED necessary for my case or can the new 77" OLED's get bright enough? Last month I went ahead and picked up a QN900b 75" now that it was steeply discounted, but the screen arrived cracked. I saw FOMO's posted s90c with AAA discount and thought: Maybe?! Thanks!
I think you'd be beyond impressed with the S90C and it beyond bright enough. The JS series was excellent and I think the S90C would be a worthy upgrade. Hope this helps and thank you for watching
Hi Brian I just got a 75 inch for this model and do have some questions regarding google assistant and sound settings. Does it have hands free google assistant built in? I tried "Hey google" but it isn't working. The default sound setting it comes with is flat and voice is hollow and high pitch. Only when i switch off the height speaker setting and select the standard audio preset and crank up the bass to 100 do I get decent sound. Am I missing something or is my set defective?
17:22 I'm with you loved their elite line couldn't afford it! I did have a 55" sharp back in the day it was a good TV the blacks were horrible but that was before the local dimming 🤷🏽♂️ I will say I may be eating my words because to me sharp is a cheap brand!
I truly appreciate this Sharp Electronics Television Displays 📺 Technology. I honestly hope that eventually the Sharp Electronics Television brand will take on going into the future Micro Led Television Displays Technology which is 📺 very much deeply better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Televisions 📺 Displays Technology currently available right now in durability and long-term cycles of product life cycles in longevity!
The problem for Sharp though is that 99.99999875 of all TV buyers out in the market today have no interest whatsoever at all in the "chonky look" and won't even remotely consider buying a TV that has it. Ten years ago, maybe. Today? No chance.
I wonder how this sharp tv will stack up agains my 4 k LG 3D LED tv from 2010. My tv on 1080p is brigth and clear. I have never tested a 4k content on it.
This version looks great. Is this kind of like the samsung s95b? When it first came out it got great reviews then they added firmware updates and it wasn't so good until they did a few more updates. You (and others) gave this a very good review but later the reviews weren't so good. Was this because of firmware updates or did you get a special panel for review? Thanks
I wish mini LED's were good for gaming, what you showed here was pretty nice and I'm looking forward to seeing you do more with gaming and see if it really holds up.
I’m 52 years old and I’m glad Sharpe is back because I have good memories of them.
Might even say you have S H A R P memories 🎉😂

There is no way that SHARP is actually manufacturing that SoC in-house. They would have to have their own chip fabs to do that and they simply don't have that capacity in house today. Now, that's no knock against SHARP though as very few companies in the world today have the capacity to build, own and operate their own chip fabs. Recall that it takes a couple of billion dollars and a three-to-five-year construction effort just to bring a new one of those on-line. Only companies with the scope and scale of LG, Samsung, Intel and TSMC have the resources at their disposal to be able do that today. Making your own LCD panels is one thing. Building and operating your own modern chip fab that can do a 10-14nm fabrication process is an entirely other thing altogether.
@@michaelbeckerman7532 Could be the case. But searching for the MTK T51P doesn't show any specific MediaTek SoC. Makes you wonder what it is then. It's not MT5895 etc etc that is common if not a Pentonic. So what is the T51P SoC??
Otherwise it seems Sharp is almost vertically integrated. They have their own panels, factories and so on. They are not using TCL or AUO panels etc like Sony and so on.
So them making their own SoC, who knows. We already know they make their own processor in the "Medalist" or whatever it is called. Similar to how Sony have "XR" processor.
I can't see it having 3 HDMI 2.1 if it's MediaTek SoC. So then it would have to be 2 of them.
@@loki76well, I only ask this question because having your own panel factories and having an actual chip fab are two very different things entirely. I'd just like to know the specific details here on this. It's funny how TV manufacturers don't ever really want to provide many details on their processors. We demand incredible levels of details from PC manufacturers on the chips they use and we get them. Yet, when it comes to our TVs, which are basically just LINUX computers now today, we get just an obscure name and that's about it, and sometimes we don't even get that. That seriously needs to change. We need to start pressing ALL TV manufacturers to be as forthcoming with the details on their processors as PC manufacturers are on the ones they use. These modern TVs are just computers now (with big displays attached) and it's about time we started treating them like it - all of us.
Somehow you my favourite youtuber 😂❤🎉
Thank you so very much! I am truly honored! Thank you for being here
The only brand did won the shoot out with lcd set say a lot about the Sharp expertise
100% Majid
This looks AWESOME.
Great to see SHARP back in the game. And nice for SONY to finally have a Japanese compatriot again
Can you make a comparison video with the other top minileds like the x95l, qm8, and q95c?
I definitely will! Thank you for watching
Any DSE or banding? I’m guessing probably but being made from Japan itself it may actually be clean panels
I got the Samsung S95C now for days and it is woww but now I see why Sony is for me the king
Hey Brian... I think I know the answer but, just based on the picture quality (the sound is just a bonus to me), would you pick this Sharp XLED over the TCL QM8? Thanks
you mean over the X95L - the only 2 mini led/lcd you should be comparing :P
That's actually a great question. At this moment I'd go Xled based on juts pure picture quality. The QM8 has way more features especially in gaming.
How was the black levels, blooming, and off angle? Could the processor keep up?
The local dimming is excellent and it's very good off angle
I’m still rocking my old 1080p Sharp Aquos LED and still enjoy it - looking for an upgrade but seems like this isn’t gonna be easy or possible (?) to buy in Canada?
I believe it will be available there soon. I will definitely find out . Thank you for watching
What about Mexico? I love Sharp
I owned a 70x5fd, an Lc65n9100u, sharp always had incredible Upscaling for its range. I’m hoping this continues that trend.
Please compare this to the x95l and focus on clarity, which processing is better
I will do my best
When does it come out in the US
It's here for sale now my friend. I'm in the US. Thank you for watching
Looks great!, hope to see Rtings review it.
I doubt you'll see that but I hope they can get one.
You can vote for it to be reviewed on their website.
With over 2000 dimming zones I was expecting better black levels. Also, I get that Sharp went for accuracy but I think the colors lack a bit of depth .... but overall I am glad that Sharp is trying to make a comeback.
I am waiting for Bestbuy to carry it. The picture of this TV on youtube is only as good as the capability of the TV you have.
Your 😂watching this on TH-cam. 😅
When viewed in person Sharp's AQUOS XLED has very deep and rich black and very good color saturation.
@@stanleyholmes7155Exactly, you have to see it in-person before making a purchasing decision.
as FOMO said in a recent video - it's not the number of dimming zones, but how you use them. why sony mini led X95L gonna be the best, because they have no peer when it comes to processing
Great company with great products fighting against substandard Chinese products.
big like from ISRAEL !!
Thank you so very much! Greetings to you in Israel from the U.S and thank you so much for watching
Can’t wait to see the oled !!!
Now for the real question ,how hard is finding this tv going to be in the US ??
As of now very hard other than at Value Electronics. Hopefully it will have a larger release in a few months. Thank you for watching
Sharp needs to make it in a 100 inch and then I will buy it. Holla !!!
Something looks different with this tv. In a good way.
I was a shue in for the A-95L but this Sharp Aquos in defiently in the running now!
It's definitely very good! Thank you for watching
Is there a way to turn off the Green LED while the TV is on?
Yes it can be disabled
Brian do you have the optimize calibration setting for the tv?
Does anybody know, if it will be available in Europe?
When will this TV arrive in South Africa.
Definitely. It has already been presented in Europe on Sharp Xperience Roadshow 2022. The model name is Sharp XLED 2000 and will be available on market 4Q '23.
I have a 65in Sharp Aqous 1080p tv I bought in 2013 for $1000. It always looks good, and the only problem is the remote stopped working a few months ago.
Of course now I have a Samsung 65in qled from 2020 and I just got a Samsung s90c qd oled.
The Sharp is the 1st flat screen tv I ever had. As a smart tv it only had a bad early Netflix that took forever to load and TH-cam, and that was about it.
Excellent comment! Thank you for sharing your experience and for watching the video and channel
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I just remembered around 2013 were the days of 3d tvs with glasses. I think maybe Sharp had a 3d tv, but what happened to 3d, did it not advance 3d tvs tothe point we would not need glasses and maybe even qd oled 3d tvs.
Thank you ❤
Did you do a video on the difference between the 85 inch X95L and X93L? there’s a $500 difference, but I’m trying to figure out the difference between both models.
Welcome back in the championsleague sharp tv after 20 years
Does the tv have a metal frame or bezel. Looks like it does from the video. Also is this tv going to be for sale in canada
It's mostly metal and so is the bezel. It should be available in Canada in a few months. Thank you for watching
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thanks Brian. I'm going to look out for it. It looks like a good tv.
Hi Brian. So I checked the VE website and noticed that the Sharp FS1 OLED was priced less than this one. Why is this? Asking bc since shopping around, I've noticed that minLEDs where less than OLEDS.
Sharp's AQUOS XLED is the new flagship QD MiniLED TV. Sharp's new 2023 OLED TVs they are bring into the USA are excellent OLED TVs, but the US's FS1 is their entry level OLED TV. Sharp's new 2023 FS1 55" and 65" OLED TVs are comparable to LG's new 2023 C3 OLED TV and Sharp is using LG Display's new 2023 EX OLED module.
Sharp's new FS1 OLED TV is $1,499 for the 55" and $1,999 for the 65" and these new OLED TVs are an exceptional value/performance choice.
Thanks for the breakdown. They also have the FQ1 that is WOLED. Is that the only diff between the 2 regarding the specs and ports/speakers? Would it also be pricier than the FS1 and will you be carrying it?
@@darkcamo77 Not sure what all of the spec's will be on Sharp's QD OLED TVs when they finally come to the US, which will likely be available in the US for the 2024 model year. The main difference will be the QD OLED panel vs. the new 2023 LG EX OLED panel.
Small size WRGB OLEDs. So think budget ones. Sharp has QDOLED as well which is more of their "flagship". But not on sale this year in NA.
Hi Brian, looking to upgrade my old 65" Samsung JS8500. I love this old TV as it was 2015 and the higher end TV's at that time supported 4K HDR while keeping 3DTV support. I ended up keeping it longer than expected. I've been waiting for OLED tech to clear a brightness hurdle as my living room is very bright (corner apartment with floor to ceiling windows on two of the walls). Now with MiniLED getting closer to OLED, what would you recommend for a 75"? Is MiniLED necessary for my case or can the new 77" OLED's get bright enough? Last month I went ahead and picked up a QN900b 75" now that it was steeply discounted, but the screen arrived cracked. I saw FOMO's posted s90c with AAA discount and thought: Maybe?! Thanks!
I think you'd be beyond impressed with the S90C and it beyond bright enough. The JS series was excellent and I think the S90C would be a worthy upgrade. Hope this helps and thank you for watching
I also recommend Samsung's new 77" S90C QD OLED TV and it's on a very aggressive sale for $3,097.
Does sharp still make the tv’s themselves? I remember some of their low end models coming from vestel
Sharp designed, and builds the QD MiniLED panels and the SoC processor are all Sharp priority products. Sharp also manufacturers their new 2023 TVs.
dark horse of 2023 conteder IMHO
how good is viewing angle? Ads or Va?
They are actually quite good due to the high Zone count and local dimming algorithm. It is a VA panel. Thank you for watching
Hi Brian I just got a 75 inch for this model and do have some questions regarding google assistant and sound settings.
Does it have hands free google assistant built in? I tried "Hey google" but it isn't working.
The default sound setting it comes with is flat and voice is hollow and high pitch. Only when i switch off the height speaker setting and select the standard audio preset and crank up the bass to 100 do I get decent sound.
Am I missing something or is my set defective?
17:22 I'm with you loved their elite line couldn't afford it! I did have a 55" sharp back in the day it was a good TV the blacks were horrible but that was before the local dimming 🤷🏽♂️ I will say I may be eating my words because to me sharp is a cheap brand!
I truly appreciate this Sharp Electronics Television Displays 📺 Technology. I honestly hope that eventually the Sharp Electronics Television brand will take on going into the future Micro Led Television Displays Technology which is 📺 very much deeply better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Televisions 📺 Displays Technology currently available right now in durability and long-term cycles of product life cycles in longevity!
Great comment! Check out their 2024 lime up th-cam.com/video/5kAyXExCe4k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c8I4Nc36HaJJWD2q
Ah, I'm so happy to have the chonky look. I hate the ultra thin tvs, they wobble... It's weird.
The problem for Sharp though is that 99.99999875 of all TV buyers out in the market today have no interest whatsoever at all in the "chonky look" and won't even remotely consider buying a TV that has it. Ten years ago, maybe. Today? No chance.
Anyone out there still remembers the Curtis Mathens console tv? Thats one I wanted but, due to price, had to settle for a Zenith console...
I definitely remember those! Awesome comment! Thank you for watching
Looks Great! At this price point, would be nice to see a comparison with the Sony A95K
I'll do my best, but I'll have the A95L against it even sooner
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYAwesome!
Please advice, is ABL still a problem on 2023 Oled TVs
does this TV come with a wall mount tv bracket?
It doesn't come with a wall mount but it can be mounted. Thank you for watching
HOPEFULLY Y'ALL GET SONY's A95L THIS WEEK.
We're be the very first US dealer to show Sony's A95L at our Sept. 30th TV Shootout Evaluation event.
Does the dynamic mode give it more of the samsung look that I like?
It can definitely look more saturated and vibrant even outside of Dynamic. Thank you for watching
Actually, after your videos, I wanted the Sony x 95L. Now I'm unsure whether the sharp isn't better?
I wonder how this sharp tv will stack up agains my 4 k LG 3D LED tv from 2010. My tv on 1080p is brigth and clear. I have never tested a 4k content on it.
I’m confused
Why would you test 4K content on a TV that you know is only 1080p 🤷♂️
Or is there something I’m not understanding 🤔
I hope Sharp comes out with a similar model without the fancy sound system.
This version looks great. Is this kind of like the samsung s95b? When it first came out it got great reviews then they added firmware updates and it wasn't so good until they did a few more updates. You (and others) gave this a very good review but later the reviews weren't so good. Was this because of firmware updates or did you get a special panel for review? Thanks
How do this compare to the u8k qm8 & x93L brian? Whats your order of the 4 from best to least?
I wish mini LED's were good for gaming, what you showed here was pretty nice and I'm looking forward to seeing you do more with gaming and see if it really holds up.
