Sharp LC-60UD27U

Sharp's second-generation Ultra High Definition TVs are ultra-impressive. Whether your viewing tastes run to movies, sports, or TV shows, Sharp produces some of the most brilliant and beautiful 4K images we've seen, and wraps them in elegantly sleek designs. 

The LC-60UD27U is one of the few TVs that have earned THX® 4K certification. Getting THX certified has never been easy, but to be 4K-certified, this model had to pass over 400 rigorous laboratory tests — for both HD and 4K picture quality.

Sharp's Revelation Upscaler

If you've been looking at 4K TVs you've probably already discovered how little true or "native" 4K content is available. And until the content catches up with the hardware, owners of Ultra HD TVs will be relying on their TV's ability to upconvert HD and other video formats to 4K. Sharp's Revelation Upscaler takes a two-step approach to this critical task. First, a dual-core processor fine-tunes the original signal for optimal picture quality, removing as much digital noise and other artifacts as possible. Next, the upscaler analyzes and intelligently enhances the signal to create a 4K (3840 x 2160-pixel) image.

The sophistication of Sharp's upscaler proved itself in THX's exacting tests. Basic qualities like color performance and motion processing received intense scrutiny. And when it came to analyzing image detail for movies, THX's battery of tests made certain that essential film elements such as grain and texture weren't "smoothed over." Sharp's unique Integrative Cognitive Creation (ICC) technology is able to reconstruct images that look more realistic than other upconverted pictures.

This is one Smart TV

The LC-60UD27U has features and capabilities that are similar to other Wi-Fi-equipped Smart TVs, plus a couple of cool extras. Sharp's intuitive SmartCentral™ interface lets you quickly connect to your home's network for more entertainment choices. Stream movies and TV shows from Netflix®, indulge in video snacking at YouTube®, and keep the music flowing with Rhapsody® and Pandora® Internet radio. Here's a feature we haven't seen before: the ability to display a split-screen view with a video source and web streaming. Makes it easy to surf the web while you watch TV.

Video Features

4K Ultra-HD LED Panel: 4K Ultra-HD is four times the pixel resolution of Full HD 1080p. Full HD has 2 million dots, or pixels (this means 1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels tall). 4K has 8 million pixels (3840 wide x 2160 tall). So for every pixel on a full HDTV, there are four smaller pixels on a 4K TV. Four 4x more pixels, even the smallest details in a picture are visible.

  • Revelation 4K Upscaler: Sharp's proprietary built-in Revelation 4K Upscaler creates a 4K (3840 x 2160) signal from any source, making the picture clearer and sharper, with more depth. Here's how it works; first, the dual-core processor fine-tunes the original signal for optimal picture quality in real-time. Any imperfections such as digital noise or artifacts are reduced to a minimum. Second, the upconverter chip interpolates the content to automatically populate for 4K pixel resolution by using a variety of specially programmed algorithms, including color conversion and contrast control.
  • THX 4K Certified: In earning the first THX 4K certification, the AQUOS 4K Ultra-HD LED-LCD TV passed over 400 rigorous tests covering 1000 data points, meeting the highest standards in picture performance; including screen uniformity, color performance, and motion processing. To the discerning consumer, THX 4K certification is an assurance that the television is truly cinema quality.
  • HEVC Decoder: With HEVC (H.265), the latest encoding technology, the Sharp AQUOS TV is able to play 4K streaming content from streaming content providers, such as Netflix.

AQUOS Technologies: This Ultra-HD 4K television is packed with Sharp AQUOS proprietary technologies to ensure a great looking picture with vivid color, dynamic contrast ratio, and smooth motion.

  • SPECTROS Rich Color Display: With SPECTROS Rich Color Display, the Sharp AQUOS 4K boasts a 21% wider color spectrum than a conventional LED-LCD HDTV and produces more vibrant and diverse color, so each frame is brilliantly recreated as the director intended. With more shades of red and green, you experience more realistic landscapes, lush nature scenes and natural skin tones
  • AquoDimming Technology: Sharp's new AquoDimming technology automatically enhances contrast and detail in HD images, so you never miss a detail, even in dark scenes. The TV offers a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for deeper blacks and whiter whites. This function cannot be used during 4K signal input.
  • 120Hz Refresh Rate + AquoMotion 480: A 120Hz refresh rate delivers crystal-clear images even during fast-motion scenes AquoMotion 480, Sharp's backlight scanning technology, quadruples the effective refresh rate for even clearer fast-motion picture quality.

Video Inputs: The Sharp ultra high-definition LED-LCD TV features HDMI (2.0) Component, and Composite video inputs.

  • HDMI 2.0: The four HDMI inputs will accept 4K, 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i video signals. The HDMI inputs can be used to connect a Blu-ray/DVD player, satellite/cable box, Game console, and a MHL-compatible smartphone (HDMI 4 only). Any HDMI  can also be used to connect a PC to this TV. The HDMI jacks also support Deep Color, x.v.Color, and 3D content. The HDMI 1 input is ARC compatible.
    • HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported only by the TV's HDMI 4 input. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility with 4K Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable providers.
    • 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: The TV's HDMI 3 input is especially suitable for enjoying 4K/60Hz UHD Video with a 4:4:4 color subsampling. All other HDMI inputs support 4:2:0 color subsampling. With 4:4:4 color, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.
  • Analog Video: The TV's single Component Video input will accept 1080p (60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals.  The television is also fitted with one composite video input which accepts 480i only. The component and composite video inputs share the same audio input.
Note: The TV features a RF-coaxial input and has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.

MHL Compatible: The HDMI 4 input is MHL compatible and designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable electronic devices. Simply plug your MHL compatible smartphone into the TV's HDMI 4 port using the HDMI cable that is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on the Sharp TV from your mobile smartphone. The TV's IR remote can be used to control basic playback functions (such as Play/Pause, Stop Fast Forward/Rewind, and Menu navigation). Your MHL compliant device will also charge while connected to the TV's HDMI 4 port. To find MHL-certified devices, go to www.mhlconsortium.org.

ARC (Audio Return Channel) Function: The Audio Return Channel within the television's HDMI 1 input enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to your A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and USB port can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly.

Samsung has issued a firmware update that will enable its 2015 SUHD TVs to support HDMI 2.0a and display a broader library of High Dynamic Range (HDR) content from external devices (such as Ultra-HD Blu-ray players). Sony also has an update available for HDR content in all their 2015 UHD TV models starting with the X850C and going up. LG only offers HDR compatibility on their new 2015 OLED 4K TV's. All of these models include a 10-bit panel with local-dimming as well.
