About the Sharp LC-60UQ17U

Steve Kindig

Near-4K picture detail plus THX-certified accuracy

At the top of Sharp's innovative Quattron+ TVs is the "UQ" series, which leads off with the 60" LC-60UQ17U. Its vivid, crystal-clear picture is easy to love but a little tricky to explain. See, the screen resolution is not exactly 1080p or 4K, but somewhere in between.

Near-4K picture detail plus THX-certified accuracy

Sharp LC-60UQ17U

At the top of Sharp's innovative Quattron+ TVs is the "UQ" series, which leads off with the 60" LC-60UQ17U. Its vivid, crystal-clear picture is easy to love but a little tricky to explain. See, the screen resolution is not exactly 1080p or 4K, but somewhere in between.

The "UQ" series offers a noticeable step up in picture quality over the "SQ" series thanks to THX® enhancements and more powerful anti-blur processing. In order to be THX certified, the LC-60UQ17U had to pass 200 rigorous laboratory tests. Simply choose the "THX" setting to enjoy picture quality that's as close as possible to what the director intended. This set also boasts Sharp's sophisticated AquoMotion 960 blur-reduction, which includes 240Hz refresh rate. Even the most frenetic action looks smooth and clear.

Sharp's Quattron+ technology uses smarter pixels to build a sharper picture

The LC-60UQ17U's exceptional picture detail and color are instantly obvious. Sharp has achieved it by making each and every pixel work smarter. Typical 1080p screens have around two million pixels, and each pixel has three subpixels — red, green, and blue — to reproduce the entire color palette. Sharp's Quattron™ technology adds a fourth color, a yellow subpixel that results in images with brighter yellows and richer golds. So that's already 33% more subpixels than a standard TV.

Sharp's Q+ technology

Sharp's proprietary Q+ screen technology displays more picture detail and color information than any other 1080p TV. With 10 million more subpixels to work with, picture sharpness and depth come close to 4K but at a much lower price.

But Sharp has a radical new wrinkle for 2014 called Quattron+ (Q+). It splits each subpixel in two and allows each pixel to intelligently "share" subpixels with adjacent pixels. This is possible because when creating an image, pixels often don't use all their subpixels at once. Q+ effectively gives the screen millions more subpixels to work with. The resulting picture is extraordinarily crisp and detailed. Not quite as sharp as the very best 4K TVs, but surprisingly close, and at a dramatically lower price.

The Revelation Upscaler — two steps to a cleaner, clearer picture

Sharp's Q+ models are the only 1080p HDTVs that can accept 4K video sources (up to 30 frames/second). Of course, there's still very little true 4K video available, so until the content catches up with the hardware, a TV's ability to upconvert non-4K material will be a top priority. 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 near-4K image.

SmartCentral on-screen interface

Sharp's SmartCentral 3.0 Smart TV platform includes a guide that integrates cable, satellite, and streaming channels — no more switching TV inputs or apps to find the shows you want to watch. And nearly all functions can be controlled by a tablet or smartphone.

SmartCentral pulls all your entertainment together

The LC-60UQ17U's intuitive SmartCentral™ interface lets you quickly connect to your home 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. Aside from the popular pre-installed apps, you can download additional ones from Vudu Apps.

Streaming content is just one of the entertainment options you can access through SmartCentral. It includes a smart guide that integrates cable, satellite, and streaming channels. Now, virtually everything you do on the TV can be done from your tablet or smartphone. And with Miracast screen mirroring technology, anything on your smartphone, tablet or laptop can be viewed on this big, breathtaking screen without a wired connection.

ARC (Audio Return Channel) Function: The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 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. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 3 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary.

Audio Outputs: The Sharp LED-LCD television provides an analog and digital audio output.

  • Digital Audio (Dolby Digital/DTS compatible): The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the tuner, network apps, and USB ports on the LED-LCD TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI or  RCA.
  • Analog Audio: The television features a 3.5mm (minijack) audio output for connecting the television to an analog 2-channel receiver. You will need a minijack-to-RCA adapter (sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection between the television and your soundbar speaker or AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output terminals will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs.
